5 Stars!! Love it!
This cookbook is amazing! Some of the wording is different from what we use in here in the States, so I had to google what some of the words meant like "rockets" which is really arugala and "courgette" is zucchini. Also, I had to google measurements because everything is in grams or ml instead of cups. In all, this cookbook is great for me because it gives me healthy food ideas and its 15 minutes or less which is awesome. The food is so tasty I feel like I'm cheating at times. He also has HIIT workouts to do, which, he also has the same workout on his youtube channel that you can follow along that's only 20 min. I've only been on it for 5 days so far and I've lost 4 lbs! Everything I've cooked so far is really tasty!

Great guide for beginners on a weight loss journey
I stumbled upon Joe's YouTube channel after he collaborated with Jim Chapman in a cooking and workout video. Not only were his workouts and recipes simple and doable, his enthusiasm is what drew me in. This book is a great first step for beginners looking to cook more at home, shed a few pounds of fat and build lean muscle. This isn't for someone who is already a fitness junkie or bodybuilder as they have their routines they've been using for sometime. Highly recommend this book but be ready to put in the work, keep it consistent and be ready to spend a little more time in the kitchen

My New Favorite Recipe Book
This is a fantastic recipe book! I haven't ever bought a recipe book before (mostly just pull stuff off the internet) but after following Joe's Instagram for some time now, I had to bite. Definitively light on the workouts, but I bought it for the recipes and not the workouts. I have been living the HIIT/reduced carb lifestyle for some time now, but I was getting SO bored with the same steak or salad or chicken breast lo-carb meals I had been making on repeat. Some pros and cons with this book, but the cons aren't really even worth taking a star off for me. I can't wait until the new copy comes out!Pros:- Teaching you a whole new way of eating/approaching food. I LOVE that I can still have carbs, cheats, etc., but the key is to time them appropriately after HIIT workouts.- The recipes are truly delicious. I've had the book for about a week now and have made at least 10 of the recipes. Yum!- Lots of variety and interchangeability. Don't like fish? Swap it with chicken. No ground turkey? 93/7 ground beef!- Some people have mentioned in their reviews about UK/US conversions. This edition I bought a couple weeks ago is fully Americanized--ounces, zucchini (not courgetti), green onions (not spring onions) etc., so pleasant surprise there.Cons:- The layout! There's no tabs/delineation between reduced-carb, post-workout, and snacks other than a cover page, so often I'm flipping through the whole book to find what I'm looking for. I have a lot of sticky tabs in it now. There's also no delineation between breakfast, lunch, and dinner options, but this is more understandable due to the fact that the meals are mostly interchangeable.- Many of the meals are for one. Again, not a big deal, but I'm always cooking for two, or prepping for the week (as the author suggests), so I have to do some math to get the proportions right- Not much for workouts, if that's what you're looking for.- The initial pantry stock up was a bit expensive (i.e, fish sauce, sesame oil, seasonings which can be really pricey, seeds/nuts I don't typically have--I'm talking about you pine nuts), but the next trips to the store weren't nearly as bad because I had these things already.

I'm very excited by this book and The Body Coach principles
I LOVE this book!!! I have a big recipe book collection, and this is the first time I have opened a cookbook and cooked three different recipes and they have all turned out brilliantly. The Cheesy Chirozo Chicken is amazing, Chicken with Smoked Paprika and Almonds - delicious and last night we enjoyed Spiced Eggplant and Chickpeas with Turkey (except I had chicken in the fridge so used that and substitued zuchinni for the eggplant). I love that they are one pan meals. Strictly speaking the recipes can't be prepared from start to finish in 15 minutes because of the prepping of the veggies, but the cooking time takes 15 minutes. All totally worth it. Can't wait to cook some more from the book. Buy it - you won't be disappointed.

I love Joe and follow his Instagram religiously
I love Joe and follow his Instagram religiously!!He has some fantastic recipes on his page and I see so many I want to try or have tried, but it's Jed to save Instagram videos to refer back to later, so I decided to buy his book.There are some great recipes in here and most are simple. I marked it down for two reasons:1. Not all the recipes have pictures. Big no for me.2. There are a LOT of recipes in here that are basically the same. Lots of stir fries. His Instagram has some really ingenuitive stuff and I was really hoping for more of that!

But it to diet and eat well.
I cook almost exclusively from this book now. The meals are diverse, delicious and nutritionally well-balanced. There's also a series of great workouts in the back. I am someone who works out 6+ hours each week, very fit and have integrated some of his workout elements into my weekly routines. They are marketing this as a diet book, and it is, but the meals are as good as anything I've ever cooked. But it to diet and eat well.Random advice: You definitely want to have a good non-stick pan. These recipes are designed for the use of just a little bit of oil, and to get the best nutrition out of them, they should remain that way.
