Pros
This feels less like a diet and more like a great recipe book with healthy meals, which just happens to come with a few healthy-eating rules. This is a good choice if you’d like to lose weight, but you still want to enjoy your food.
Cons
The recipes aren’t overly complicated, but you do need the time to source fresh ingredients. You also need to enjoy cooking or be able to buddy up with a house mate who does; otherwise this diet is a no-no.
