Product Description
Product Description
This diet book celebrates food for what it is rather than continuous calorie counting. It chronicles Ruth Watson's experiences of dieting, shares her secrets and contains recipes as well as advice and suggestions for "foody" dieters living in the real world. Her diet is based on calorie-counted recipes but is balanced and non-faddy, with all food groups allowed, indeed encouraged.

The best 'diet' ever,
By
This review is from: Fat Girl Slim (Paperback)
This is a fabulous book (but then - as it was recommended by my favourite food writer, Nigel Slater - I was confident it would be). The difficulty I always have with diets is that the food is dull. I love food and love cooking more, so I'm not in the market for grilled skinless chicken breast and salad with no dressing for dinner. Ruth Watson's are wonderful recipes, both delicious to eat and fun to cook, and her writing is funny and refreshing, so you can read Fat Girl Slim in bed and feel inspired. Every day my work colleagues ask what I cooked the night before, salivate and ask to borrow the book (no chance). Best of all, I have lost 13 lb since Christmas and haven't felt hungry at all. Highly recommended.

A sensible, practical and realistic diet book,
By Ruth (Bristol United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fat Girl Slim (Paperback)
This is the first diet book I've read that is enthusiastic and funny. Fat Girl Slim is full of mouthwatering recipes from someone who clearly loves food, and who is not afraid to say it. I particularly liked Ms Watson's views that there is no such thing as "good" and "bad" food, that you shouldn't starve yourself, and her assertion that will-power alone is not enough to get you through a serious bought of the munchies. This book has great tips on how to combat said munchies, and how to deal with cooking for the dieter and non-dieter ("your darling"). If you like faddy diets this is not for you - stick to Atkins (and bad breath!). There is a strong leaning towards delicious Asian food in this book, and my only complaint is that there are too many mushrooms in the recipes - but you can always leave them out.

Bye Bye Fat - Hello Superb Food !,
This review is from: Fat Girl Slim (Paperback)
Absolutely fantastic. A book that at last does not preach or claim to have a miracle cure, but simply one that gives you one woman's solution for her initial problems alongside her obvious love for tasty and creative food. As a foody myself (and a bloke) with a few pounds to lose, this is essential cooking. I have tried lots of the recipes and have read it back to front and am still to find one that I do not like. The salmon with bok choy is dreamy. Lots of good, healthy, almost fat-free grub that will have you drooling due to the superb descriptions and photography. Believe me - this book not only works but will open up a whole new world to you proving that delicious and appetising can go hand-in-hand with a diet. All you fad followers such as the totally repulsive Atkins Diet - do yourself a favour and buy this book. Its more interesting, a million times more exciting, a trillions times more tasty (and less dangerous!) and although it will take more time for the fat to fall off, your life will improve tenfold. Just get it !!!!
