Review:Despite my initial skepticism, I really liked The 5:2 Fast Diet for Beginners. Its premise makes sense to me – that fasting occasionally helps you to reset your internal clock. I was surprised that you could eat your normal calorie intake on the non-fasting days and that the fasting days themselves give you 500 calories. I’m making a grocery list because the recipes look great and I’ve recently been struggling with lower calorie recipe ideas – I’m in kind of a rut, truth be told. Since it’s the ... Read more

Review:This is a very good cookbook. My personal preference would be for far more photos, but the recipes are easy to follow, and rarely call for unusual ingredients. It's a very good cookbook for a beginner cook, and an excellent cookbook for a Weight Watchers cook. Read more

Review:Many of the recipes are very good and provide some good cooking solutions that avoid added fat which can be applied to recipes not in the book. That said, some of the recipes are not palatable by non-vegans, which is a problem in a mixed household. Read more

Review:I really looked forward to reading this book as I am a huge fan of ATLF. I enjoyed the recipes (especially the story and recipe for Eivin’s cat poop cookies) but was very disappointed in that it seemed in their side stories there was an air of preachiness about “food ethics.” While I do grow an increasing portion of our food in a garden and orchard and agree that sustainability and responsible land management are desirable I do not need to be reminded about it every chapter. IMHO this detract... Read more
