A/Prof Antigone Kouris PhD APD

Nutrition Scientist & Dietician

"My patients kept asking me to recommend a healthy biscuit. Unable to do so, I decided to develop my own range. Two years in the making, Skinnybik cookies have a better energy and nutritional profile than many plain sweet biscuits due to their wholesome ingredients. Even though they are not super low in calories (despite my efforts!) you can't eat too many because they are so filling due to the fibre and chewy texture - so truly skinny. I have sold thousands to my patients and have successfully included them in their weight loss plans.
Enjoy with less guilt”.

3) You Are What You Cook! In full colour, 80 easy to prepare healthy tasty recipes for lunch or dinner for the family using Mediterranean and South Asian flavours. Many recipes have been adapted from traditional Greek recipes and made healthier by reducing the calories, fat, carbs and many are naturally gluten free. Therefore most recipes are suitable for weight control and for people with diabetes, high cholesterol and celiac disease. It is recommended we eat 1‐2 vegetarian meals a week so over 30 delicious meat‐free recipes are included. Recipes have been developed by Dr Kouris using knowledge gained from her Greek mother and mother-in-law, her research on the mediterranean diet and the latest nutrition research, especially on preferred cooking methods (more stews less grills) and use of herbs and spices (especially oregano and turmeric for their anti-inflammatory properties). The book includes a simple guide for a preferred weekly menu and a 'plate' guide for food portions. Forward by Professor Mark Wahlqvist AO.
