With more than one million Australians struggling to gain weight, here for the first time is a no-nonsense recipe book to address this problem.
Packed with practical advice on gaining weight, together with over 100 mouthwatering recipes to appeal to even the most reluctant eater, 'Eat Up!' is ideal for people with eating disorders, those recovering from major surgery, the elderly and the terminally ill, as well as those wishing to build body bulk for sporting purposes.
Divided into two parts, this book provides everything the reader needs to know about healthy weight gain. Part One discusses the major issues regarding weight deficiency and the "how" and "why" of gaining weight. In addition, it provides an accessible analysis of the symptoms associated with severe weight loss.
Part Two includes over 100 recipes that are "nutrient dense". Nutritional analysis and recipe codes (indicating recipes for the lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, etc) are provided throughout. Recipes are grouped into the following categories: eggs and dairy; soups and salads; grains, pasta and rice; meat, poultry and fish; vegetables; desserts and sweet delights; snacks; nourishing drinks; nutritional supplements.
