My boyfriend found this book and, to be frank, I was sceptical, but he really wanted to lose weight and I was happy to do the diet with him. We have stuck rigidly to the fat burning weeks and haven't felt hungry at all. Plus the recipes are delicious and varied enough to keep our interest (plus you can substitute carefully - I don't eat red meat, so I have fish from the fat burner list instead).
The stabiliser recipes have been harder to keep to and sometimes less practical (for example, eggs florentine for lunch at the office, or 3 different types of bread in a week when you only need 1 slice of each loaf). We have just been sensible and tried to substitute approved foods or, if we've had something off the list completely - dinner out - we've done a fat burning day before or afterwards.
Our weight loss has been great (22lbs and 15lbs in 6 weeks) and we both feel and look much healthier. The 2 weeks fat burning, 2 weeks stabilising works really well, as we all have occasions when we can't completely control what we're going to eat (parties, dinners), so we've tried to ensure they're in a stabiliser week.
Some tips: a food processor helps with the chopping for the soup; buy a wide necked flask to take soup wherever you go; start exercising, the weight comes off even quicker (you don't have to sweat it out at the gym - get a good pedometer and do your 10,000 steps a day); we start the FB week on a Tuesday so the meat cooking days fall at the weekend when we have more time to cook breakfast (and it feels like you're having brunch!).

...I too have followed the diet implicitly and am delighted with the result - 3.5 kilos (8lbs) in a week and I had plenty of energy. The author does say to be strict during the strict fat-burning weeks so there is no point whingeing that you can't go out and stuff your face at friends and in restaurants. I am halfway through the Economy Stabiliser fortnight now, and still raring to go (more weight loss!)
I am getting a bit tired of veg but it's worth it.

Format:Paperback
The author of Fat-burner Foods - a medical doctor with years of experience in health, nutrition and safe weight loss - developed the innovative idea for this book, while researching nutrition and weight loss in Australia. Adapted from a programme originally designed in Perth, Western Australia, to aid safe, rapid weight loss in overweight patients awaiting heart surgery, Fat-Burner Foods utilises foods from six different categories all clinically proven to help the body preferentially burn its own stored fat as fuel. Easier to stick to than fad diets which rely on two or three foods at most, Dr. Caroline Shreeve's plan is accessible, economical and fundamentally a dieter's dream because it offers the one thing we all long for - QUICK SAFE weight loss using healthy foods combined in delicious recipes. As usual with Hamlyn Books, the book is also visually stunning and the recipes temptingly easy to follow. Only proviso - don't buy it if you hate fruit and veg, as these are key ingredients in the fast fatburning fortnights which alternate with a choice of four different weight stabiliser schemes.

no evidence to back up any of the claims in this book
The book's main crux is "negative calorie" food. Sadly there is no such thing. The author provides no references to studies or scientific evidence to back her up claims. Read more
