When you're trying to lose weight, slimming recipes can make all the difference. It's all very well having a great diet plan, counting calories, avoiding too much fat or too many carbs, but that still leaves the problem of what you will actually eat.

Slimming recipes help you avoid that problem. Whereas many diets are long on theory but short on practicalities, books of slimming recipes are simply packed with great ideas to help you plan your meals on a regular basis.

The selection of slimming recipe books covers a wide range of options - you can choose from mouthwatering Indian curries, or the ease and comfort of microwave and freezer ideas. There's also various celebrity offerings, plus lots of choices from Slimming World, including their 'Sin Free' options, and the famous 'Green Days'.

What's great about these books is that they give you options. For people on a diet, one of the biggest problems can be boredom - many diets have you eating the same tired meals over and over again. By investing in some good books you can broaden your choices, give yourself some meals to really look forward to, and increase the chances of sticking with the diet.
