Advantages: being smug when you present friends and family with low fat versions of their favourites!

Disadvantages: some of the dishes take time - but thats what homecooking is all about!

I have found this book a really useful way to remain angelic whilst eating naughty things! The TV show was enjoyable to watch and the book is full of delicious treats and comfort food which will not ruin your waistline!
My personal favourite is the Spaghetti Carbonara - usually a fattening over indulgent treat which leaves me feeling guilty, sick and fat... when cooked using the 'Cook yourself thin' method it's still indulgent, lovely and enjoyable, but not sickly and I don't feel guilty so I actually enjoy my food! The book contains other favourites like chocolate cake, steak and Kidney pie and Lasagne. There are also chocolate truffles!

The book has breakfasts, snacks, soups, lunches, dinners, desserts, and cocktails to try. The girls write honestly and are all quite funny! They share their diet experiences and their food weaknesses. The book also has general diet advice and a calorie counter in it.

I plan to try the chocolate cake at the weekend... it ha beetroot in it (yes beetroot) to make it all squidgy and fudgy... I'll let you know how it turns out!

Summary: Eat what you want without feeling guilty or ruining your diet!
