5.0 out of 5 stars Not For Everyone, 21 Jun 2007
This is a book for women who want to lose weight. Its catch is that it uses 'straight talk' to convey its ideas about how to lose weight. Do not buy this book if you are offended by profanity, which is abundant in the book. I can't really say that this is a 'diet' book, rather it is more of a diet 'method' book which teaches you what and what not to do and you go from there.

The book starts out by telling you quite bluntly (which is the tone of the whole book) what you need to give up, such as smoking and soda. A large part of the book is devoted to telling the reader what to eat and what not to eat. It covers areas such as carbs, sugars, meats, protein, etc. Some of the ideas can come across a bit controversial at times, but the authors do cite their sources which they are to be commended for doing. The book also contains a pretty big list of foods that are okay to buy in case you get confused. All-in-all its an easy to read book that is fairly short and easy to follow. However, the tone of the book will not appeal to everyone. Also recommend The Sixty-Second Motivator as dietary changes are useless unless you're motivated to stick with them.

5.0 out of 5 stars My New Bible, 3 Jul 2008
By Charlotte Sharples (Preston, Lancashire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Ok, so I admit after seeing this in Victoria Beckham's bony hands (and obviously observing her man on the new Armani adverts *sigh*) I felt compelled to buy this book, even if it was just for the read! I was not disappointed. Being a medical student, and paranoid about my figure constantly I would like to say that I know more than the average person when it comes to nutrition, yet this book points out the blindingly obvious, that most of us would just look past! After reading this, I started to implement things into my day-to-day routine (and I am still working on it, after all this isn't a faddy diet but a lifestyle change!) but I can honestly say it has made the world of difference. After the first few days I felt so much better!

I read a few reviews stating they had 'bowel problems', which doesn't surprise me as you are eating that much fruit and vegetables your body is in shock from all the nutritious fibre, it's lapping up those vitamins and minerals! It settles after a little while, as your body gets used to new foods.

For anyone wishing to embark on a permanent lifestyle change, or even just a hilarious read this book is fantastic! I always go back to it and read it again just to remind me at times why i'm doing this (especially when my mates are tucking into a huge tub of ben n jerrys ice cream!) and as soon as I start to read it again it takes me back to my motivation at square one! Plus it's small enough to put in your bag for those restaurant visits ;o)

For anyone who does take up this challenge in the UK, will probably have some difficulties finding places to buy vegan products that they reccommend. However, I have found that the best thing to do is make your own 'treats' e.g. cookies, cakes etc from scratch there are LOADS of cook books on amazon. If anyone would like to ask me any questions, please feel free to leave a comment and I will get back to you. My advice would be; DO IT!

5.0 out of 5 stars Eye-opening, funny and works!, 19 Jun 2008
By Naerwen (Ljubljana, Slovenia) - See all my reviews
I bought this book a little over two months ago in a bookshop, but I first read about it on Amazon. I darted through it in a matter of hours, and it really changed me. It opened my eyes about animal cruelty, how disgusting some food actually is, and how capitalism is implemented in our society in ways which I had never appreciated before. I think the book was meant to be read by intelligent, thoughtful women who cares about other beings and things besides themselves, and help them achieve an enlightened and healthy lifestyle. Sadly, though, in reading some of the reviews here it's obvious to me that many have misunderstood it, be it by accident, or on purpose (the latter can be seen in pretty much all one-star reviews; notice that most didn't even finish the book).
I have been veganising myself ever since I first put the book down, starting with my diet, but I've yet to replace my leather shoes and wool sweaters. My diet is a balanced one (although I hardly did any planning, I eat whatever I feel like, it just works for me), as is advised by the authors: I eat a ton of fruit, leafy green veggies, beans (soy, common, lentils), cereals and other vegetables. What you want to do is vary your diet, but just take care that you get some of each group. Also, fresh orange or grapefruit juice every morning instead of coffee really does wonders. There is no need for processed foods, although there is a very wide variety of healthy vegan products available and I do add seitan or tofu every so often, but it's not something you have to do. If you're a picky eater, though, trying to have a balanced diet can pose a problem, but there's just such a great variety of produce available in grocery stores I can't imagine someone not finding enough to suit their tastes and their diet.
Basically, in these two months, I've lost 8kg, I feel a lot better, I'm not all sniffly and mucusy anymore (well, I am a bit, because I didn't quit smoking), and I'm more conscious of the world and what my choices and actions do. I'm so glad I found the way to this lifestyle, because it completes me. It has saved me from myself. I recommend reading some more on animal rights theory (P. Singer, G. Francione, and T. Regan are a good start) and also getting some vegan cookbooks (I like I.C. Moskowitz a lot) for ideas, that's what I did anyway.

And to all of you bashers, I honestly can't grasp that some of you actually read through the meat and dairy chapters and still eat/drink it?! What's the matter with you people? How can you read about someone cutting a pig's snout like salami and then eat pork for dinner? I know I'm being a bit holier-than-thou, but it really is beyond me. Yes, it is a book which tries to convert you to veganism, but have you even tried the proposed four-week diet to claim that it isn't a diet book? This is probably the healthiest way to lose weight! Also, to the one vegan who says she's not skinny - I seriously doubt the authors were completely serious when they said you should be "skinny".. every body is different, depending on bone structure and other genetic factors. After all, the whole book is written in a slightly comic, girlfriend style, so I'm sure the word "skinny" is part of that. If you (meant broadly) continue to eat junk-food (even if it's vegan), though, you can't expect to be thin (or whatever you would want to call your body's optimal weight).

But at the end of the day, I feel it's still foolish to blindly trust into any self-help or diet book without using some common sense; just do what works for you (and I don't just mean the easiest thing possible, but what makes you truly happy and fulfilled).
