To think my GP is MAD to recommend this diet to my DH

"Pigs to Twigs"

From what I have read so far its a slightly nicer Aktins diet. Loads of meat, fat and green veg.

I am really shocked she told him to get this book for a few reasons:

  1. Its a no carbs diet
  2. Its a bright pink book aimed at women 3)She didn't weigh him or take his BP and he has over 5 stone to lose

She is a lovely GP but I really thought she would handle a very proud young daddy who is really struggling with his weight a whole lot better. His weight gain is odd as the rest of our family are within the ideal weight range and eat far more than him. His job is highly physical too.

AIBU or are no carb diets back in fashion?

well done your DH !!

After reading this the first time round, I bought the cookbook. Hoping I can lose 10lb on it...

I just asked him. He is missing pizza, cerial and BREAD!!!
and toast
and cookies
and part baked rolls......

Actually he has been much less moody, far less hungry and a much nicer husband so I am REALLY happy!!

Yes, as a fellow low carber, it's the bread that's the killer...
