In May 1982, a large proportion of the British nation began to behave in an unprecedented and totally uncharacteristic way. Never before had so many Britons embarked on the same diet at the same time - they were numbered in their millions and included public figures such as Dr. David Owen, who proudly revealed his personal weight loss of a stone in three weeks. Never before had a diet been so much talked about and written about in the media world, from Terry Wogan on breakfast radio to The Times. Today, very many British doctors recommend the F-Plan Diet to their patients.
The F-Plan shows you how to shift the emphasis of your eating pattern from fatty food to fibre-containing food, to protect your health from a host of today's most widespread serious ailments. Dietary fibre is provided by a wide selection of easily available and palatable foods. The F-Plan Diet will provide you with a wonderfully easy formula for boosting your intake of fibre to between 35g and 50g a day - at least twice most peoples' normal consumption - without sacrificing any pleasure in meals.
Why The F-Plan Diet doesn't work for you
The most widely available form of dietary fibre in the UK is wheat bran - and more and more people are becoming intolerant to wheat! If you're one of them, going on a high-wheat-fibre diet will just make you feel more ill, not help you lose weight!
The F-Plan Diet was the only diet I tried. In 1983 I spent two months in hospital having my second son, Stuart, and during that time I had put on two stone. My (now ex-) husband, Andy, bought the F-Plan book and we worked out our daily calorie needs - mine was 1,000 Calories and Andy's was 1,500 Calories. Andy lost weight straight away, so he was sure I must have been 'cheating' as I was not losing any weight at all - in fact I continued to putting on weight and was always bloated, tired and just not feeling myself. Since working with diets I've realised it was no wonder, because my intake of wheat was so great.
