Has anyone been on this Diet and if so what kind of foods did you eat?

I've looked at a copy of the book and it seems like Meat, Fish, Cheese and Eggs are about the only things you're allowed to eat!!

Carbs seems to be everywhere. But many high carb food make great fillers to stop you getting hungry - like Rice, Pasta, flour, etc.

    There are several reasons why this is a bad idea, the best way to lose weight safely, healthily and in a way that means you don't just put it straight back on agaion is to combine a balanced diet with regular exercise.

    Why fad diets are crap

    get fit

    what is a balanced diet?

    Susie :)

    Oh also, Have a look at Diet Trials on the BBC website. They did a proper large scale test of four weight loss plans, and it didn't come out very well. Crash weight loss and reduction in fruit and veg intake are not good for you. Much of the weight lost is lean tissue, rather than fat, again not a good sign.
