Be sure to add some good fats though, steering clear of fat altogether can be quite dangerous to your health! That’s so great Vicki, definitely keep me updated!

Hubby is a massive meat eater so thought this would be great for us to try. So far we have lost 5.5kg each and we don't seem to get hungry very often,so that's great! I am missing my bread/pasta etc but as for sweet things. I make a baked custard or junket for a dessert when the pangs hit. Have just managed to buy the book and looking forward to trying some of the recipes but now desparately searching for non fat fromage frais/non fat creme fraiche that are in a lot of the recipes. All in all this has been an easy diet for us both to stay on and with quick results we now have the motivation to keep trying.

I think the key is - like anything- to take it with a grain of salt. Wow, I didn’t know about the aspartame. I think the key is – like anything- to take it with a grain of salt.

The other thing that made my jaw drop was his attitude to aspartame. He says it's 'harmless' and even recommends it for pregnant women. Having said that, I might just try the inital stage of the diet to see whether it's do-able. I can imagine that all that protein without fat gets old pretty fast. I am looking forward to eating yogurt again though! :-) I have just received the book and was also amazed to read that about the fat.

"Since the Atkins diet appeared, opening the way for lipids by demonizing carbohydrates, many diets have adopted this sensationalized point of view which served its promoter so well. It was quite clearly a major mistake, and for two reasons: cholesterol and triglyceride levels rise dangerously, some people paying for this with their lives; and mistrust of fats is gone and once gone it makes any form of stabilization impossible." p.19 "For those who want to be slim or, in particular, for those who are trying to lose weight, lipids represent every danger possible".

I figured he was probably in the anti-fat camp. A real shame, as I think a lot of people are jumping on board this diet ... they'll definitely be getting results, but (IMO) those results would be so much better - and healthier - with a few smart fat and fiber/veg changes. I'll be interested to hear about your progress :) Thanks Sue, I appreciate you commenting on that! I figured he was probably in the anti-fat camp.

Regarding the fibre you are taking 1.5 tbs of oat bran in the attack phase and then 2 tbs in the cruise phase. I am not doing low fat as is suggested in the book. Though, my fat is lower than I normally would do on a low carb diet. In his book you understand why its low to no fat - he is fat phobic and believes in the cholesterol causes heart disease etc. Also, he allows sweeteners which can be okay in limited quantities but not aspartame which he sees as benign. Real shame. Overall, I think the diet looks good. A lot of people seem to be getting excited over it. Kat, I bought the book and I am trying it.
