Rating: - Not enough information to follow the diet long-term
This book is a good introduction to Slimming World's food optimising diet but doesn't provide enough information to stay on the diet long term. To use your own recipes or eat pre-prepared food you will need the full lists of free foods and sin values. You can only get these if you join a class or pay another £10 to get the books direct from Slimming World.

Having said that, the provided menus do look tasty - but how many people eat starters and desserts or have time to prepare Greek Fish Wrapped in Vine Leaves at lunch time? Some ideas for packed lunches would have been good.

As a last minor quibble, the sin values for all the recipes are listed in a separate table at the back of the book so you are constantly flicking backward and forward when choosing something.

Rating: - This was my life changing Book
Food Optimising helped me change my eating habits. In the first week that I followed this book I lost 3pounds. I than joined Slimming World Club and in 8 weeks I lost 10 pounds. This book teaches you how to eat healthy. It is very simple to follow. I must admit joining slimming world club helped me more. But if I didn't have bought this book I would never had got the motivation to start the eating healthy diet. Try and follow this book for a couple of weeks and see and feel different. GOOD LUCK

Rating: - Reviewed again
I've written a review for this book previously (Feb 2002) but thought I would let you all know how good this is once again. When I wrote the first review, I had been 'food optimising' for a few weeks. It has now been two months and I have lost just over 2 stone! This is such a logical and easy way to healthy eating Im amazed at the difference of results compared to previous attempts at dieting. If anyone is considering buying this and has even tried other 'fad' diets etc before, dont even stop to think about it. Buy it now and you'll soon see the results. Good luck!

Rating: - The simple way to lose weight and get healthy!
This is the best way to lose weight I have found. The book encourages you to eat healthy food and more of it! All you have to do is choose whether to have a green or original day and eat the correct types of foods accordingly. You dont feel like you're depriving yourself of anything. As you can have 10 sins a day you dont feel like you're on any kind of diet. Since using this book I have been losing weight steadily and feeling much healthier. I definitely recommend it.
