Hairy Dieters....... Only!!!

I love it! I tried out their chili salad bowls recipe, it was really good!

It was something I never thought I'd see Si & Dave do, but I loved it. Although I did feel rather sorry for them when they were down at 1200 cals per day........poor sods!

The book is great, folks.......get a copy if you can!

Chicken and ham tangle pie this evening we have done 4 recipes all great and proper grub

The show really got me motivated to do this site and get the weight off. Enjoyed it and I hope the Hairy Bikers make another series.

Me too made me relies I need to lose weight

I have the book and watched the shows and yes some great recipes however I would say 1200 calories is very low I understand that what they were doing.

I am sticking to around 1500 to 2000 calories a day which you can view on my diary

I agree. I thought 1200 was very low for big guys who were eating well over 3500 to start with and who had taken up exercising. Realistically, they could probably have lost a bit of weight even at 2500 calories. If I was them, I think I'd have gone for somewhere around 2000. I suppose they needed a more dramatic weight loss for the TV show, though.

some shops still seem to have the books in, though they are out of stock online. I got mine from my local tesco on saturday for £7.49 and they had a few copies left.

Trying the lasagne this week - will try more next week but only got it after I'd done my meal plan. Am hoping it doesn't taste too strongly of leek as my husband is not a big fan. But worst comes to worst I can do it with courgette or aubergine next time in place of the leek. Have altered it a bit to suit us - I don't think I'm actually capable of cooking a recipe without tweaking.

I am actually impressed though, the recipes look good and tasty which makes a change for a 'diet' cookbook.

I know the programme said they were on 1200cal a day but the introduction to the book implies it was more like 1500-1600.

I am eating it right now........and no not too "leek-y"

So far we've had the cassoulet, chilli salad bowls and the masala marinated chicken - all delicious however the chilli salad bowls ended up being 550 cals each as we used 500g mince instead of 300g (as that was the size of the pack of mince)! Still waiting for book......should be arriving next week. We've got skinny lasagne on the menu for this week too!

Yeah, I've made the pies. They were brilliant! 330 calories too!

I missed the programmes, unfortunately, but was really interested in the getting the book when I heard it was being realised. Now that I'm taking this weight loss seriously, I suppose I should get looking for somewhere that has it in stock!
