some things I am surprised by

I enjoyed the book. The narration at times was hard to hear the woman's voice. I first read the Obesity code. Find this book less scientific. I am very surprised that they actually encourage you to consume fake sugar. but the book is very easy to understand simple Concepts. easy to follow. One other thing is that the English euphemisms are not always easy to translate.

first plan that actually worked for me

easy to listen to and the plan works been doing it for about 4 mths with noticeable progress

Very nice listen!

I am starting today. The science makes sense and it seems like it'll be fun and easy to follow, especially as the rewards start racking up.

Inspiring

I have been on a yo-yo for most of my life. Up and down since my teen years. This book has inspired me with a new direction to follow that will work. It has help me not to constantly worry about what I am eating and feeling guilty about treating myself occasionally. I look forward to following this eating plan for the rest of my life, and enjoying life to the fullest without tearing myself down.

love it!

excellent plan! lost 7 pounds the first week and had freedom to eat 5 days a week

Real world, very effective diet

Would you listen to The FastDiet again? Why?

Every year I have to lose about 15 pounds to make weight for a couple of athletic events. This year I tried FastDiet, and did the job in half the time. The fact that you can have 500-600 calories during the fast days takes the edge off. Found that I had less appetite on the regular days. This diet, combined with the right foods, can really shed pounds while not making you suffer through your normal work day.

What about Michael Mosley and Mimi Spencer ’s performance did you like?

Got the point across. Not pros but nothing unpleasant.

Easy principles and easy read

Love this lifestyle approach to dieting. I'm down 8lbs after 3 weeks. Been trying to lose stubborn baby weight and this fits in so easily with my life and family. The principles in this book are changing my relationship w food and helping me to get more in tune to my hunger cues. I still get to eat dessert on my feast days if I choose to--it's fabulous and sensible!
