The ingredience for the recipies are things that you wouldnt normallly find in your cupboard so its too much hassle than its worth.
Beats any other diet recipe book hands down! - By: J. Crick, 22 Jun 2008 
I got this book for Christmas last year & am now going to purchase a copy for my Mum who I hope will enjoy it as much as I have. My boyfriend is in the kitchen cooking the fish pie as I type, he is adding a couple of boiled eggs & capers to the dish. We have nearly cooked our way through the entire book. I had a chocolate craving earlier this afternoon & made the delicious spiced hot chocolate. I don't think of it as a diet book, just a fantastic cook book which has simple & tasty recipes which don't take very long to prepare & cook.
A book you CAN use!! - By: S. Thompson, 17 Jun 2008 
I had been trying to mix-up our culinary routine for a while & had tried lots of books, with little success, until this one! We hadnt actuallly seen the programme, but saw the reviews on Amazon & tried the book & love it! (I would actuallly say now that i have seen the programme i find the women a bit annoying - but i will let them of as the book is soo good.)
We have cooked & tried nearly every recipe & apart from the rice noodles one, we have liked them alll. We particularly love the carbanara, ceasar salad, coconut oatmeal, lebanese kebabs, burgers, potatoe skins, roast dinner, cooked breakfast etc etc....mmmmm *mouth watering just thinking about them!*
I would state that we have not lost weight while following this system (we have done breakfast, dinner & lunch recipes & exercised), but we havent gained any either. What we have achived is a varied diet, moving away from our weekly routine of stodgy spag bol & fatty sausages & mash etc etc with some reallly different yummy NON-DIET tasting food - & at the end day this is what we wanted.
LOVE THIS BOOK - buy it!!
great book, but best recipes are free from website! - By: Avid Reader, 13 Jun 2008 I wanted to buy this book as soon as I saw an episode of the TV series, & was not disappointed - no nonsense sensible advise cookbook with easy to follow recipes that actuallly turn out. My only addition to what has been said elsewhere is to go look at the C4 website & download some of the extra recipes available there - especiallly the cakes. I have made & adapted the lemon & almond cake - making it with hazelnut & orange as well & have to say it is a fabulous cake & not available in the book. Also there is another one for chocolate brownies with pumpkin - again exceptionallly good & not in the book.
Ughh! - By: P. J. A. Jennings, 19 May 2008 Having watched a number of the television shows, I bought the book & made some of the recipes. I don't know what the people on the show reallly thought, but my family wouldn't eat them, they were revolting.
The substitute ingredients from the "full fat" recipes just don't work.
