I love cooking and we have a "cooked from scratch" dinner every night. I went on this diet when it first came out, lost 2 stone but then gave up as I couldn't face food without the things I love (bread, pasta, pastry, potatoes, colourful veg, rice, muesli!)

Having put the two stone back on (and the rest) I had to consider which I preferred: eating whatever I wanted to and being overweight or being slim. I decided to go back on the diet but to try some specific cookbooks alongside.

I have to say that I love this book! I literally have hundreds of cookbooks that I've collected over the years, and very few of them hold the high percentage of "would cook again and again" recipes that this book does! It's great, and I am particularly pleased with toppings for things like Chilli Bake and Moussaka - who needs pastry?!

I honestly haven't missed the ingredients listed above - and am convinced that I can stay on this for life. My husband has trimmed down too, and he still eats carbs!

Got bored on atkins.all too eggy somehow. This is different. The recipies are delicious. I have cooked 22 of them in the last month and they are lovely. The whole family has enjoyed them and it has got me enthusiastic and cooking again. The almond cake is great, onion bhajias the best i ever made and the thai meatballs are fab. I feel terrific and not deprived at all, on the contrary I feel I am eating better than ever before. the main problem is deciding what to cook next,(chilli bake I think!).

An inspiration, real, proper food using sensible stuff not odd things which can never be found. Buy it with the Idiot Proof Diet Book (pink bible ) and join the forum if you want to change your lives.

This is a must have!

This book not only introduces you to a new way of eating, it is a joy
to make the dishes, everthing I have made has been great, so many variations that I have never thought of, something for everyone.

Now I'm no domestic goddess but maybe I could become one. I bought this book along with the diet book Pig To Twig and boy am i glad I did ! I planned meals that went with the diet and there is such tasty variety i have not strayed once.
The Butter Chicken is so easy and to die for. The Sausage Muffins are a great start to the day and so tasty. All the recipes are so easy to follow and once you've got the ingredients off you go.
