Product Description

Product Description

This diet book celebrates food for what it is rather than continuous calorie counting. It chronicles Ruth Watson's experiences of dieting, shares her secrets and contains recipes as well as advice and suggestions for "foody" dieters living in the real world. Her diet is based on calorie-counted recipes but is balanced and non-faddy, with all food groups allowed, indeed encouraged.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best 'diet' ever, 18 Feb 2004
By S. Sinclair - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a fabulous book (but then - as it was recommended by my favourite food writer, Nigel Slater - I was confident it would be). The difficulty I always have with diets is that the food is dull. I love food and love cooking more, so I'm not in the market for grilled skinless chicken breast and salad with no dressing for dinner. Ruth Watson's are wonderful recipes, both delicious to eat and fun to cook, and her writing is funny and refreshing, so you can read Fat Girl Slim in bed and feel inspired. Every day my work colleagues ask what I cooked the night before, salivate and ask to borrow the book (no chance). Best of all, I have lost 13 lb since Christmas and haven't felt hungry at all. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars A sensible, practical and realistic diet book, 12 Dec 2003
By Ruth (Bristol United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This is the first diet book I've read that is enthusiastic and funny. Fat Girl Slim is full of mouthwatering recipes from someone who clearly loves food, and who is not afraid to say it. I particularly liked Ms Watson's views that there is no such thing as "good" and "bad" food, that you shouldn't starve yourself, and her assertion that will-power alone is not enough to get you through a serious bought of the munchies. This book has great tips on how to combat said munchies, and how to deal with cooking for the dieter and non-dieter ("your darling"). If you like faddy diets this is not for you - stick to Atkins (and bad breath!). There is a strong leaning towards delicious Asian food in this book, and my only complaint is that there are too many mushrooms in the recipes - but you can always leave them out.

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy if you don't like Asian cuisine, 11 Jul 2004
By A Customer
This is a sensible and endearing book, but it's only one woman's account of how she lost weight. Most of the recipes seem to be based on Japanese/Asian ingredients and since I only fancy this kind of food occasionally, a regime so far from my own cultural and foodie roots would be impossible to sustain with any enjoyment.

I'm sure Ruth Watson is capable of devising delicious and healthy French/Italian based recipes. If she does so in her next book, I'd buy it.
