Rating: - A few flaws
I can see how this might work for some people, but it definitely wont work for me. I have IBS which is triggered by dairy amongst other things, and a lot of these recipes have things that I cant eat suxh as butter and cream, although they do sound tasty.

However, my main concern with this book is the misleading information. Reference to good fats in butter and double cream, in my opinion, is complete nonsense. The fats found here are saturated fats, the bad kind. The 'good fats', or ... Read More

Rating: - Last 'diet' book I ever buy!
Like most women on the diet merry-go-round, I rush to embrace any new ideas for weight loss that appear easy and fad-free. Having ploughed through the introductory chapters where the authors describe in graphic detail their own battles with flab, I eventually got to the part where they divulge their weight-loss secrets. Unfortunately, there was nothing new here; it is basically yet another 'starve yourself for a while then start eating again' regime, extended into a book which could quite easily ... Read More

Rating: - Jumping on the bandwagon
I am another one of those people whose life has changed completely due to this book. I look at food and health very differently than I did before. Granted, it could have been any low-carb diet because it's the low-carb lifestyle in general that has won me over. But if it wasn't for the witty true-to-life writing style of this book, I would probably still be yoyo-ing on low calorie diets! Thank you India and Neris, I lost tons of weight, I am happier and healthier and I have learned so much about food ... Read More

Rating: - It worked for me !
I am not a diet-book person or one for "faddy diets". I saw this quite by chance at the top of the bestsellers list on Amazon at the end of Jan 08. I bought it on impulse as the time was right for me to do something about being overweight.
Once I committed myself to it (with the company of a friend - which was invaluable), it took me 6 months to lose 5 stone. I have remained stable at the weight I want to be now for a month. It's early days but I feel confident that I can keep to it, and all ... Read More

Rating: - This book needs to come with a health warning!
While I have to admire this book for attempting to address the issues that underlay a person's overeating, there's not much else to like about it. The "diet" has been put together by two amatuers with no experience in diets or nutrition other than having been on lots of diets in the past. Not a great place to start from...

It's interesting to read that the author claims this book presents a mediterranean diet when that clearly isn't the case. What they actually advocate is cutting out an ... Read More
