I was delighted to see that this book is available to people in the US, as I had recommended it to a friend over there (I am from the UK where Slimming world is based.)

I moved over to this way of eating when a low-carbohydrate diet didn't work for me - despite doing everything properly I actually put on weight!

The Slimming World plan is for life - and it works. You can eat as much of certain foods as you want on certain days - but it isn't food combining... You don't have to count calories... you don't have to count grams of fat or of carbohydrates... You only have to weigh a very few restricted foods...

Two days ago I ate roast chicken, vegetables, potatoes and Yorkshire pudding - the next day I weighed a pound less... Last night I ate a huge bowl of pasta with a delicious sauce, and wine...! Today I weigh another pound less. You can realistically expect a healthy loss of 1-3 pounds per week.

The diet plan in this book is very well explained and the recipes are delicious. If you don't have Slimming World clubs in the US yet, then this is the next best thing.

I started following the Slimming World plan from what I learned on the internet. Amazingly, I recently lost 6 pounds in 2 weeks and ate plenty of food! I had to starve and suffer to lose anything before. I'm not sure how Slimming World works. I do know that some minimal food combining is involved. I switch each day from a carb to protein focus. It seems to keep my metabolism up and my blood sugar is steady since I'm not running on empty. I can't wait to get the book to motivate me and help me lose the last 30 pounds! It's so wonderful to be able to eat like a normal person and still lose a pound by the next morning!

I ordered this book after reading about some successes of weight loss but so much of the recipes are in a form of english or british and I wasn't familiar with some of the ingredients needed soooooooo. Its okay but I think I will move on. Just my opinion.
