Product Description

'If a fat slob like me, who for decades has resisted everything except temptation, who has no known willpower, who has failed every diet I've ever tried, can lose three and a half stone and keep it off - then there's hope for everyone!'Michael Winner, archetypal eater and restaurant critic, is an inspiration to us all. 'I've had jackets taken in four or five times each as I became the incredible shrinking man. What's more I've not only lost three and a half stone, I've kept it off!'In the "Fat Pig Diet", Michael shares the secret of his success with the all the good humour of a bon viveur and lover of life.'On my diet, I eat ice cream, cakes, sugar, potatoes and everything else that is supposedly fattening. I give you a daily note of my food intake in great detail and my weight each morning and evening. Not for a few weeks, as most diet books do, but for months and months! This is the easiest diet ever. And the most pleasant. If a fat pig like me can do it, a man who miserably failed every other diet I tried for twentyfive years, then believe me, you can do it!' Film Director, author, critic and gourmet, Michael Winner is famous for the many films he has directed featuring major Hollywood stars, but also for his acerbic and outspoken "Winner's Dinners" column in "The Sunday Times" - and for his witty esure TV commercials. His books include his highly-acclaimed autobiography "Winner Takes All".

4.0 out of 5 stars A bad diet book but a great read, one for the fans!, 31 Jan 2008

By	Tom Hughes "tomhughes2005" (Baldock Herts) - See all my reviews

Do not buy this book if you are interested in dieting like some of the previous reviews, this book is for fans of Winner's brilliant observational writing and for that it hits the mark. This is really a spoof of the usual overtly optomistic diet books that clutter our shelves upto new year and rather than give smug self-appreciative advice on how "you to can shed those pounds", Winner just claims to forget it, we should all enjoy life and that includes stuffing ourselves! A brilliant book, that is a definitive purchase for those that love the "Winners Dinners" colummn. If any lesson can be learned, its that you should enjoy your food and appreciate the quality rather than being miserable and stuffing yourself on burgers. It avoids five stars because if you cannot get Winner's style of humour or you simply do not like the guy then it falls rather flat as the whole book is driven by his exploits.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nothing remarkable here..., 22 Nov 2007

By	David M. Grinter "dmgrinter" (London, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Michael Winner decided to write a book after successfully shedding over three stones (42 lbs)in a relatively short period. Well, the whole book can be summed up by "eat less and you'll lose weight". That's really it. About three quarters of the book is Michael's diary of what he ate each day - which is just much smaller versions of the rather large amounts he used to eat. Michael is only saying what we all know to be the only real way of losing weight: cut the calories, up your activity, and you'll lose weight. If you want to keep the weight off then limit your calorie intake each and every day of your life. It takes willpower and self-discipline, but it's the only way.

3.0 out of 5 stars Winners on to a Winner!, 15 Feb 2008

By	A. G. Mitchell "Glenn Mitchell" (North Wales) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I thought it a good book, quite funny, and although the food he eats is way above us mere mortals who do not fequent restaraunts or live a jet set life, the principles he uses in the diet are available to us all, in fact he does not really know how he has lose the weight!, the simple reason is that unknowingly he has been on a so called new diet called the calorie shifting diet whereby you trick the body into not knowing what amount calories are coming from day today, or what type of food source either protein,Carbs etc, the body mintains it metabolisum and burns fat,a simular thing happend to stone age man and they did'nt know what was happening either.
If you study what he eats its all mixed up Carbs, protein, calories diffent each day, to use this diet with normal food, you simply shop for differnt types of heathy food you love and eat smaller portions,I've been doing it for a while and have lost loads but I eat realy well, swap what Michael eats for thing of simular type, but not of course costing as much!
Give it a go, at least you will be happy and well fed giving it a go.
