Review

Amazingly frank…the honesty of their confessions exceed anything previously published (Evening Standard )

A compulsive read with good advice, whether you want to lose five pounds or five stone. It addresses the emotional issues of eating. Completely delicious and simple to make recipes (Mail on Sunday )

The down-to-earth duo are brutally honest, not just about their own eeating habits, but also their recognition that food is often closely linked with emotional problems…will certainly put you on track for better eating habits (She )

Crammed with real dieters' hilarious motivation-boosting tips and anecdotes (Cosmopolitan )

5.0 out of 5 stars From Pig to Twig., 14 Aug 2009
By Jordan Sims - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Neris and India's Idiot-Proof Diet: From Pig to Twig (Paperback)
Admittedly, I got this book because of the cute title. Well, so glad I did. Inside I found a great plan that really does work--if you follow it diligently. It's not hard to do but it will entail some willpower, which is the hardest part of doing anything. The authors really know what they're talking about as they, themselves, have gone through the whole many diet disasters familar to most of us. Overall, it's a fantastic plan and also a good read. Don't pass it up. Another that I found most useful, also, was Goodbye, Fatty! Hello, Skinny! How I Lost Weight And Still Ate The Foods I Loved-Without Dieting.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm Loving It!, 20 Feb 2007
By J. Lesley "Mum of 4, still sane - just!" (Derbyshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Neris and India's Idiot-proof Diet (Hardcover)
I bought this having read the Sunday Times review, read it cover to cover and decided to give it a go, despite having promised myself never to diet EVER again. I am morbidly obese, I have failed at every diet I have tried in the last 10 years. So far this one is working well, I am not hungry (hooray), I am not bored thanks to the additional purchase of the Low Carb Gourmet and I have lost 12lbs in 2.5 weeks with no pain at all. I had a cracking headache on day 3 but apart from that I've felt brilliant. I think I am probably wheat and sugar intolerant anyway so this is a better move for me than trying to exclude those things and do low-far as well which has me climbing the walls with hunger within days. If you've tried Slimming World before, its like red days but with lashings of butter and cream. Yum!

As others have said its probably not the one for you if you are a veggie or don't like red meat but being a total carnivore it works well for me. As you go into the final phase, when you only have a stone or so to lose it puts back certain carbs (including chocolate!) slowly into your diet so you are not on this regime for ever although I probably won't ever go back to croissants and pizza and that's fine because I'd rather be at the right weight. If you like steak and cheese and eggs and double cream and leafy green veg and olives and deli meats then you will be in seventh heaven with this one.

I found the style really encouraging, unlike any diet book I've ever read before and India's humour mixed with Nerys' honesty about how she felt were really helpful.

3.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring but unnnecessarily restrictive, 28 Feb 2007
By NaomiP (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Neris and India's Idiot-proof Diet (Hardcover)
I agree with other reviewers who say that the great thing about this book is the personal experiences of the authors and the motivational sections. Even though I am not dramatically overweight, I really felt this was a diet book that understood how I felt. I was inspired to start and stick to the diet and lose weight yet again. However, although they admit that the diet advice is really a re-hash of other low-carb diets, and it is right that the right diet is the one that works for you, which basically is the one you can stick to, they are very out of date on their specifc advice as to what to eat and what to avoid in the latter stages. The GI concept has now been refined, so that what matters is the GL, which is a more subtle analysis, which means that many more fruits and vegetables are acceptable in moderation after phase 1, yoghurt is allowed etc. I think this is important, because having followed a low carb diet before, I think the really hard part is not phase 1 or 2 but sticking to something like it for the rest of your life. Also I don't think it is healthy to omit a whole food group from your diet. Read it for motivation, but for an actual diet plan, try the Greek Doctor's Diet instead.
