I bought this on the recommendation of a friend who said she had lost almost a stone in weight in two weeks. I only wanted to lose 10 pounds so thought it was worth a go - a looming beach holiday gave me the incentive to stick to it! I did the diet to the letter and miraculously lost a pound a day in the first week and about half a pound a day in the second week - and I felt great. The two week induction diet is a low carb (not almost no-carb like the Atkins), low fat (again, not like the Atkins one) diet - it consists of strict daily menus which vary and include fruit, lean unprocessed meat, fish, shellfish, salads, vegetables, cheese, egg, and a small allowance of bread (I substituted a half slice of toasted wholemeal or Bergen bread for the prescribed "protein bread" which is unavailable here unless you want to make it yourself). After the two weeks is up you can eat all of the above as you please, with a few extra things added in (even a glass of wine!).
In short it seems to me to be a healthy quick-loss diet option - it didn't leave me hungry and it works!

My mum did this diet in the seventies and still raves about it to this day. I decided to give it a go (after much nagging from her about how big I was becoming) and I have to say I've been really impressed with the results. I lost a stone in two weeks, my skin has cleared up and I've found it easy to keep on going. In essence the diet is low carb but not nearly as extreme as Atkins. Lots of meat, fish, eggs, cheese, salad, fruit and vegetables. The first two weeks are very prescriptive when you can only eat the food on the diet menu although there's no portion control or having to weigh anything. After the first fortnight it becomes a lot less restrictive. If you want to lose weight but don't like going hungry I'd definitely recommend this book.

I first used this book back in the 80's. What I would give to be at that starting weight now! It is a very strict diet but it does work if you follow the instructions. It is not intended for long term use as the food variety is too limited but if you want to lose weight fast for a special occassion this is the one!
