Diets have a habit of increasing weight over time so what is it about EFK that works?
Elder treats food as a friend the right food, that is, any that is slow to digest so staves off hunger pangs, yet provides energy. He
uses GL index which assesses the quality of carbohydrate (glycemic index) and the amount on your plate (the L bit of the index).
Elder outlines foods to buy, combinations for healthy meals, and pushes exercise for lasting lifestyle changes.
