Rachel's Organic Yogurt Diet

The Rachel's Organic Yogurt Diet devised by Monica Grenfell is an exceptionally well put together diet with clear instructions about the Diet Must Haves and Diet No-Nos! I particularly liked the fact that the diet tells you exactly what to eat for each meal, rather than having to think about "points" or "sins". 

The breakfast choices are the same for each day of the diet, but there are then two choices of dish for lunch and the main evening meal with recipes for many of the dishes also included. In addition to the meals, you can also eat 125g or 150g of low fat fruit yoghurt twice during the day. 

To accompany the daily menu choices, there are daily exercises, which are clearly illustrated, easy to follow and suitable for people of all shapes and sizes. For most days of the diet there is also a Beauty Tip, such as using egg white, yoghurt and olive oil to get hair back into a good condition, and for me these tips provided a great boost on days when the going got tough.

I finished the diet 8 lbs lighter first time round (I cheated and had a glass of champagne at a friend's birthday party!) and 7lbs lighter second time round and would thoroughly recommend the diet as it's easy to follow with interesting and nutritious meals.

I can honestly say that I didn't feel hungry and towards the end of the 14 days did not always feel the need for yoghurt between meals to top me up.  The only possible downside for people embarking on the diet is that you do need to think ahead in terms of shopping also preparing food to take to work.
