  Ruth Watson really loves her food: 'I read about it, talk about it, write about it, shop for it and cook it - I even plan holidays around it'. The problem is that for Ruth - and countless others like her - food loves her just as much! Two years ago Ruth managed to lose more than four stone with her unique dieting philosophy that celebrates the sheer irresistibility of good food without sacrificing taste or pleasure. Her diet is based on calorie-counted recipes that are delicious to eat and easy to make, with all food groups allowed, indeed encouraged. Ruth's book includes over 100 recipes ranging from Lamb Chops and Garlic and Spinach Pilaf, to Seared Scallops and Black Tagiolini and Thai-Style mussels. This is food that you will love to eat but is a godsend for those who need to diet. An entire chapter is also devoted to the most common undoing for the dieter - emergency food and snacking. Ruth outlines an enticing array of tried and tested treats to get you through desperate moments without shattering your good work. While not dictating what you should or shouldn't eat, Ruth has managed to create a brilliant and sustainable diet for food lovers.
