Hi I just come across this diet and i was just wondering if anyone had tried it as im looking to lose some weight for my holidays in 2 weeks time and this seems like a good diet to me as i can still eat proper food. So has anyone tried this diet and can anyone give me any advice. Look forward to your reply Heather

Mangetout is french btw, its a vegetable. Ask at any supermarket and they will most probably have it :)

I am off on holiday in 10 days time for a cruise around the Med :D This sounds great! I am currently a size 10, yet i used to be a size 8 :( I am going to do this diet just to trim up. I'll also do my usual stomach crunch excersises daily, and I'll see what results I get :). I am a vegetarian so I may have to alter one of the dinner selections. I'll post back my results :) x x x x x x x x x
