After watching the popular tv series that Dr Michael Mosely hosts, and seeing the great results people got on 'Lose a stone in 21 days' I was keen to read this book and try an adopt some of the techniques. The Keto diet has become very popular, but its reliance on meat is not considered a long term healthy option and it is has significant ecological implications. I was therefore looking for a diet that was more balanced. The book did give lots of meat alternatives, but the limitation of calories was something I struggled with, having both a non-carb diet and a low calorie one is hard to adjust to. The explanations of how the diet works are good and easy to understand even though they touch on medical terms such as ketosis. The recipe part of the book was useful, but not very inspiring, although there are pictures in the middle of the book the lack of recipe book format is hard to get used to. In summary a practical easy guide, but most of the information you could get from the programme.
