Product Description

The beauty of the EAT FAT GET THIN diet is that you will never go hungry. EAT FAT GET THIN proves that the diet on which it is most difficult to lose weight is alow-fat high carbohydrate diet. In fact, a century of studies and medical trials has consistently demonstrated that for safe wight loss a high fat diet is best. EAT FAT GET THIN is the diet on which you can reach your desired weight easily and maintain it - for life. (20000214)

This is the first time I have ever felt the urge to review a book on dieting - as I have been sceptical (to say the least) of them all really, and usually been proved right!! However, this book has changed my life. I have spent the last 19 years going from one eating disorder to another and the result was a good 5 stone of excess weight, not to mention zero self esteem! I bought this book after reading about the author's views on another subject. I read it through at least 3 times first, researched Barry Groves and his other works on the internet... and then applied his teachings so to speak! The results were amazing and not only in the lost weight, but the reduction in bloating, digestive problems and more importantly sugar and carb cravings. I have watched with great interest the toing and froing over the Atkins Diet lately and would say this is the perfect compromise!! It seems far more balanced and the weight comes off steadily but without any difficulties. More sustainable, I have kept my 5 stone + off now with ease over the past 11 months.
I am now a healthy weight, have changed my eating and cooking habits for life... and my son is so much healthier for it too.....and wholeheartedly feel that leaving behind the current dictate of low fat, (often high sugar) low nutrient eating was the best thing I have ever done. Oh, and by the way, you will see a huge improvement in the condition of your hair, skin and nails as well.
I have never recommended a book before, and I may never recommend one again... but I urge you to read this one! Good Luck!!!!

I have found this a very interesting read, especially the areas relating to the concept of human evolution. According to the author, you can eat as much 'natural' fat as you wish & that your body will moderate the absorption & excretion of excess fats. People put on weight because they still have ' in a sense ' an animals physiology & should not consume foods with chemical additives. What I would like to see is what eminent cardiologists, physiologists & medical experts think of his ideas & this book, as the author seems to have used extensive research to back up his theory. The book suggests also that cholesterol clogging is not caused by fat intake, but the type of fat (i.e. processed) & processed carbohydrates. To back this up he looks at other cultures who have little access to foods, other than protein & fat, which are natural & how they fare. As far as diets are concerned, friends who have suggested looking at this book, seem to have lost weight, although they cannot eat much carbohydrae.
Typical Breakfast - Fried Egg in Lard, Bacon Rashers, Fried Mushroom & Tomatoes
Lunch - Cheese & Ham omellette, Chunk of Mature Cheddar Cheese.
Etc.
As far as I can see in my experience of being on it (and a 'big' eater) the diet does seem to work, as the author explained, because the Fat in e.g. Cheese is quickly detected by the body & you feel full. You are limited to 60Mg of Carbohydrate a day, but still the food you can eat is lovely.
It is well worth checking out at any rate, who knows it might just help another dieter like I am.

Well, this book is really something! It dispels all the things you may have been taught about 'healthy' eating. You never have to count calories again, you just concentrate on your carbohydrate and protein intake. And best of all, it works! You never go hungry, you always feel satisfied. Also, you enjoy what you eat. This is an eating plan for life, that has positive results. It is the only thing that has worked for me, the results are slow and steady in my experience, but I don't care, because I can live like this forever! Highly recommended.

An accessible and clear read
Unlike some of the more indepth research and analysis of other books on the same subject, this text is more general, easy to grasp with some top tips at the end.
