By Ivor Grump

A humorous antidote to the 5:2 diet--making light of the misery of dieting, with coping strategies for living with a 5:2 dieter The phenomenon of the 5:2 diet is tackled in this guide, as are almost all of the best-selling diets of the last 20 years: Atkins, Dukan, South Beach, and many more. The book hands out advice on how to recognize a 5:2 dieter, what they should do on their fast days, and what you can do to irritate them. You will find a host of (un)helpful tips, get introduced to the "Ceremony of the Scales," and learn about alternative diets, such as the Tramp's Diet and the Father Ted. Plus you will discover the worst fad diets of all time, from Lord Byron's dieting advice for ladies to cotton wool balls for lunch.
