I purchase this book just after Christmas 2002 when I made the same discovery as thousands do at this time of the year. I OVER INDULGED and it showed.I could not believe how much weight I had put on and resolved to do something about it this time. I happened to see a review of the book in a daily paper and decided to find a copy.
Putting to one side my thoughts on the price of paperbacks in general I liked the simple style of this book and most importantly the food choices advocated. I found the book very well written and easy to follow. The more I read, the more I was amazed and came to understand why I had previously found it difficult to control my weight and how relatively simple it should be to correct this now.

What followed was even more amazing. In five weeks losing one stone in weight and an inch and a quarter off my waist. I could not have wished for more, and am now almost at my target weight and feeling a lot better in myself. In the five weeks following this book I have never once felt hungry.
