I can see how this might work for some people, but it definitely wont work for me. I have IBS which is triggered by dairy amongst other things, and a lot of these recipes have things that I cant eat suxh as butter and cream, although they do sound tasty.
However, my main concern with this book is the misleading information. Reference to good fats in butter and double cream, in my opinion, is complete nonsense. The fats found here are saturated fats, the bad kind. The 'good fats', or fatty acids, that are an essential part of our diet are found in foods such as nuts, avocados, olive oil and oily fish, NOT butter and cream. I think Neris and India should have put a bit more research into this before misleading their readers.

I was introduced to Nerys and India's diet by my daughter who had lost weight in the right places and was feeling it easy to stick to. I started on the diet with confidence and find I am losing weight steadily over 14 weeks and have lost a stone - I find that my IBS which has made my life difficult for the past 12 or so years has almost completely disappeared and I no longer have to carry immodium - I suffered from very embarrassing wind which has cleared and although they did say in the book that this probably would happen I didn't really believe that it would. I intend to stick to their eating plan for life but will of course stray just a little on holidays or what ever - it has certainly helped me considerably.

I love cooking and we have a "cooked from scratch" dinner every night. I went on this diet when it first came out, lost 2 stone but then gave up as I couldn't face food without the things I love (bread, pasta, pastry, potatoes, colourful veg, rice, muesli!)
Having put the two stone back on (and the rest) I had to consider which I preferred: eating whatever I wanted to and being overweight or being slim. I decided to go back on the diet but to try some specific cookbooks alongside.
I have to say that I love this book! I literally have hundreds of cookbooks that I've collected over the years, and very few of them hold the high percentage of "would cook again and again" recipes that this book does! It's great, and I am particularly pleased with toppings ... Read More:
