It would be very easy for me to write a diet book containing 50 pages of cock-eyed theory followed by 70 pages of recipes. I am not going to do that! This is not a cookbook! There are no ‘tasty recipes’—like the example I saw recently in a slimming book: ‘Breakfast—a portion of smoked haddock with fine herbs, on a nest of mashed potato’.
