Yes!
Finally a book for people who hate to diet! (Like me!) If you are serious about wanting to lose weight, this is the book for you. However, if you are serious about wanting to lose weight and do it in an easier way, this is the book for you. Inside I found many practical tips that really got me thru the tough times. I also enjoyed the fact that it wasn't overly complicated. A must read, along with Goodbye, Fatty! Hello, Skinny! How I Lost Weight And Still Ate The Foods I Loved-Without Dieting, which was also an easier way to lose weight without going nuts. Both, combined, have given me tremendous results.

IT REALLY WORKS!!!
I am flabberghasted! Just one week on this diet I feel like a new woman. I have lost.....wait for it.........15lbs in exactly 1 week. This book should be shared with everyone who has ever tried and failed to lose weight and who wants to lose weight more than anything else in the world. Knowledge is a powerful thing and when you are equipped with how the body really works (and Zoe explains this so easily) it is actually simple to do. I haven't felt hungry at all. I eat as much as I want to of all the allowed foods and I stick to the rules - they are so important. I have another 30lbs to go and I look forward to waking every day to feeling fabulous. It's not just the weight loss, it's the feel good factor as well. I haven't felt this good for many years. I no longer believe I am weak willed and a failure. Honestly, I cannot recommend this book enough.

Finally a health plan for dummies, fatties and for those with no will power around cakes!
The two books by Zoe Harcombe & Rachel McGuinness is a must for everyone that just can't stick to that healthy lifestyle we all so badly grave...

It's easy to follow for it uses normal every day foods and Zoe explains in great detail (and every day english) why we struggle to stick to diets or health regimes in the first place.

Stop Coutning Calories and Start Losing weight plus the recipe book are two no-nonsense fool proof books about how we all struggle with cravings and how we can beat them scientifically.

I have tried for ages to beat the bulge but by doing the opposite STOP EATING AND COUNTING CALORIES and I'm just getting fatter.

With this life style plan, Zoe & Rachel are hitting the nail on the head by reversing this by STOP COUNTING AND START EATING and still lose weight!

The program runs in three phases the first phase is only five days long to kick cravings that are caused by high yeast levels and food intolerances for once and for all on the head. This is simply done by avoiding the products that causes the problems and by proper food combing. (do't worry there is a quetionare that you can complete in the book to pin point your problem foods)

Trust me the book is worth every single penny, in only three days on phase one, I feel like a new person, my tummy is flatter, I sleep better and the best part of it all I have been doing this with lots of bacon and eggs.

Rachel's recipes are easy to follow and are tasty with only a few every day items we all stock in our houses. She uses no fancy ingredients that's to hard to pronounce or that one normally can't find for your life in any store. They are all quick, easy and delicious as pie!

They should have called this concept The Health Plan for Dummies, that's how simply it is to follow and trust me its working! Good luck, Jo
