    It is supposed to be very good. The book is only £5 on amazon but just wanted to know if anyone had tried it out.
    I want something with good practical advice, and not too complicated recipes and meal plans.
    Carbs are the bain of my life!! lol.

    i've got this book. its easy to follow and has lots of recipies.
    i didn't get on with the diet but thats because i live on carbs :D(mmmMM paaaasssta). i think there are a couple of veggies in the low carb diet thread, so may be worth popping in there. its the book they use for ideas i think.

    Yes I have it, I've only bought it recently so haven't tried many of the recipes, but they seem pretty good :)

    Thats my problem. I love my carbs especially the naughty ones. Managed to cut them right down last year and lost about 10lb in 6 weeks so was really pleased with that. Need a bit more help this time though x
  • I borrowed this from my local library so might be worth a look in your local if you want to browse/try before you buy.

    I have this book at the moment(from the library!) and have found it good for recipes and ideas. I found that the actual 'diet' she advocates starting at 20g carbs a day a bit unrealistic for me, but i found it great for meal inspriation.
