POWER PLATES
Trying to lose weight while your other half wants to bulk up, or feed the family? These clever dishes can be easily customised – so everyone’s happy at dinnertime
MEAL SWAP
One of the biggest turn-offs about following a weight-loss plan can be the thought of having to cook a different meal for yourself from your partner and/ or kids. Which is just one of the reasons why we love Fitness Food, the new book from celebrity nutritionist Christian Coates (his varied client list includes Daisy Lowe and cyclist Jason Kenny). The book pulls together Coates’ all-time favourite recipes – but the really clever thing is each recipe can be made three different ways to meet your needs – with Burn, Balance and Build symbols that identify the variations at a glance. Recipes substitute carbs for salad for those who are looking to drop a few pounds, or add protein for anyone wanting to build up. No more surviving on cottage cheese while everyone else tucks into bangers and mash. Supper, sorted!
