Love it n hate it ...

I love it because it could be true ... It might actually work ... However as step one involves a cold bath or cold shower in the mornings I am never likely to find out ... The other top tips really do fly in the face of what science has taught us do far for example - skip breakfast and work out. This makes perfect sense in my head but every super bod athlete would argue differently. In all I like the dynamic and sassy attitude of the writing. I tried the cold shower thing ... It's enough to make you sleep in every day :-)

Fun but is it factual .... Would anyone buying expect different? I don't think so. We all know it takes consistent small steps to change physiology but we love the possibility of a quick fix or a crash diet without the crash .. The obsession with skinny is unashamedly paraded and e en that in our PC world now seems subversive and rebellious. The author invoked finger wagging from many who must have secretly bought and failed to get skinny lol

Getting skinny in 6 weeks is a mad mission but if you are really up for it this book will guide you in a perilous but probably successful route ...

Fun and maybe fantastic ... For fanatics

No nonsense and straightforward

Really enjoyed this audiobook, straightforward and layman’s terms, easy to adapt into daily life, I’ve already lost 2kg by following the directions of the book! I actually listened to this twice it was so engaging.

Perfect for housewives!

I really like some of the concepts here. The cold baths, the exercise before food and reduction of carbs and snacks.

However, if you have a job or a child/children or both, it would be impossible to do the plan, even if you wanted to.

To succeed you need to have to have 1.5 hours spare in the morning, another 30mins before a late breakfast, more spare time before lunch and then more time before dinner. You also need to sleep when you want and wake when you want.

I would love the concepts to be adapted for the average person to use as so much of this book makes sense!! If only we were cave women, prepping the cave and stove all day long ;o)

Do your thighs make you cry?

My thighs do not make me cry- they are a part of my leg that travels from hip to knee and I've never seen them as a cause for tears- and were they tragic I could simply comfort myself by the thought that they can be clothed and out of sight for quite 95% of life.

This is a book for people who cry about their thighs- people who want to be skinny- this is a book for 'girls' for 'chicks'- it's for teenage girls- and promises in six weeks to make their friends cry 'OMG!' when they've become impressively skinny.

The message is that anyone can get skinny- I don't doubt this- but the book never tells you that if you have, (for instance) a hefty bone-structure in the shoulders or hips you may be as thin as you like and still never look svelte- and, besides- who wants to go through life with a a confidence based solely on the fact that you're thinner than your friends? Stand up straight, look people in the eye and smile. Above all, remember Marlene Dietrict- 'A man is more interested in a woman who is interested in him than he is in a woman, any woman, with good legs.'

I haven't room to go into the contents of the book- mainly harmless enough, though rather extreme- but the point that has to be made is that; TRUMPETS DO NOT BLAST FORTH WHEN YOU BECOME SKINNY- the book pushes the dieter along with the promise that friends will gasp in amazement- they probably won't- or they'll only gasp once, and then get used to it. DO NOT expect the world to fall at your feet because you've lost weight- from that point of view weight-loss is an ultimately thankless task- because there will always be a good 20% of the population who, without effort or special diet, are effortlessly thinner than you are.

It's certainly good to be thin- and this book has some interesting ideas- But to aim to shrink six weeks so your friends will gasp is not a balanced solution to the problem. The one comfort is that the book might save some teenagers from doing worse things in an attempt to slim.

This really works!

Bizarre though it may seem, this programme works. It takes a bit of getting used to but it's worth sticking with. I found the vocabulary a bit OTT at times but maybe that's because I'm not the target audience. But if you want to lose weight, don't let that put you off. Give this a go.

Excellently educational

Everyone SHOULD really have this as a basic understanding of our body's relationship to food and excercise. It changed my thinking completely!

Great narrative, regardless of agreeing or not

Not analysing the technique until I try, the narrative is really enjoyable and easy to follow, the ideas clearer than water and all this with a brief and direct approach: that's important for me.
the list of ideas at the end of each chapter are the cherry on top
