The Idiot Proof Diet

[*Emma*]

I was just watching TV, and theres a chat show on, not the jerry springer kind...


theyre discussing a new diet, The Idiot proof diet and from what theyve said, its just like induction, and you re-introduce things gradually, apparently its gonna be the new craze...

looks like it will work because it doesnt have the atkins stigma....

but they just described it as

eat fresh meats cooked in butter or oil, add veggies again cooked in butter or oil.... eggs can be freely eaten... nothing else can be eaten... no alcohol, no caffeine, no alcohol, lots of water.

oh and BUY THE BOOK

sound like atkins to you?

anyone heard of this diet?

Re: The Idiot Proof Diet

I found this link:
http://books.guardian.co.uk/digested...981213,00.html

It mixes diets, so atkins is part of it, but so it the GI diet....I don't even know what that is. Anyway, those are the two that they mention in that article
They make the assumption that the diet is going to work for everyone just because it worked for them.

Re: The Idiot Proof Diet

There was a big article about it in last week's Sunday Times Style magazine. I read it with complete amazement - because it IS Atkins. Pretty much identical.

One part of me was angry that they just stole Dr A's diet and made it their own ina money making exercise, another part thought, well if people are afraid of Atkins because of the negative press, maybe this will get them into it by another route.

Some excellent recipes mind you!
