Format:Hardcover
I purchased this book after starting taking orlistat to assist me in losing weight. The book was intended to keep me interested in eating healthily and changing my eating lifestyle. Obviously it's not just the book that can do this but a change in attitude is needed as well and I was ready for this. It was not purchased as a specific diet plan to use whilst losing weight only to go back to my old, weight gaining days. Of course I do want this initially but coupled with carrying on after this goal has been reached. I have tried many diet plans in the past and have steadily put on weight using them; obviously they weren't for me. This book has been a completely different experience and a good one at that! In the 4 weeks since purchasing the book and using the fantastic recipes within, I have lost 9lbs and this trend looks set to continue.
The book is bursting with information on how to eat healthily, lose weight and maintain it. It also has recipes to suit all tastes. If you are a 'foodie' then buy it! It is split into sections of breakfast/brunch, soups, poultry, meat, fish, vegetarian, accompaniments, desserts, baking etc. It even has a section advising on takeaway options or eating on the run, such as how many calories & fat is in a specific sandwich purchased from Markies for example.
The recipes are set out in a way that is very easy to follow, as are the lists of ingredients needed. Also, each recipe gives you the calorie and fat content it contains. If you are concerned about other aspects of your diet, each recipe has a table of contents at the foot of the page which gives you information on the carbohydrate content, salt, portion of fruit & veg etc. There are serving suggestions and storage advice as well.
One thing to think about is that 95% of the recipes are for 2-4 people but the recipes are good to use for the whole family and not just the person wanting to lose weight. I have a fussy 15 year old and he has eaten everything I have cooked from this book. My daughter is 11 months old and with some of the recipes I can even include her, again she has eaten what I have made if suitable for her.
Overall, I highly recommend this book if you are serious about changing bad eating habits and/or wanting to lose weight without feeling like you are 'on a diet'. It is not a miracle cure #don't we just wish!# but it can certainly help you on your way to a leaner, fitter, healthier version of you.

I was given this book when I first started taking Alli about 2 months ago. Initially I was put off by that evil word diet but I have been very pleasantly surprised by this book. The recipes are tasty and easy to prepare at home. Most of the food I was eating before I looked at this book was way too high in fat (I thought I had a healthy diet!) Thank God for this book I had to start from scratch and work out a whole new diet -this book made it really simple and what's better is that I don't miss my old diet!

Good details to help plan your healthy eating
It is no good taking the pills if you still eat rubbish. So the plan helps you pick out healthier foods. You don't have to eat like a rabbit just add some alteratives.
