haaaa you're making me giggle... I could stick a note through his door, yes... BUT
Far be it from me to defend him...
But the site is definitely catering to ALL anglophones - I saw an Aussie asking if perhaps "Oz pork might be leaner than UK stuff cos they call it white meat over there". Response "no pork on this diet! only ham." (DUH!!).
Also, the French book says one thing and the coaching another... when questioned, he responds that he's constantly modifying and updating the diet after feedback from dieters etc. (that's how the recommended 1PP/1PV in Cruise came about - he'd been previously recommending 5/5 but saw that the weight loss difference wasn't actually that great).
Some things do remain the same though - his preference for our cooking from scratch... most of the queries, and product questions in different countries comes from people wanting to cut corners and use pre-cooked/industrial stuff.
If we stuck to his book, we'd therefore not have a problem!
<here endeth my defence of the money maker>

By the way, "tolerated foods" aren't even in the French book... and I don't recall seeing them in the English one!
Something that was added subsequently to keep people happy.
I still recommend doing without where possible, particularly at the beginning of the diet. I know people over here who've been in Cruise for months WITHOUT a slip up and have lost tonnes... and they need the tolerateds to ease the boredom...
But in England that's not yet the case

Chicken and salmon over here and there are just the same!!
His lists of foods are very clear... it's the dieters who are asking "what about this product or that product"?

of course!! and they're catering to different palates... "the English" (I'm generalising wildly here and don't mind to offend anyone) are a little more (let's say) alcohol, takeaway and ready meal oriented than the French (dieters).

I think the Americans are either one way or the other. Mega healthy, into their healthy eating + exercise OR completely the reverse!
but I still think that if people stick to the book, they won't go far wrong... there's no need to try this or that product, or count carbs in this or that.
The first time I did this diet in 2007, I ate really boringly (waving at Jet). Salmon, prawns, chicken, eggs, steak. (+ salad/veg on PV days). Fat free natural yoghurt.
I lost 8K in six weeks.
Never since... (never eaten as plainly since either, but I think it's par for the course that "the first time" we get better results with this sort of SHOCK diet than subsequent times)...

Quite probably... and also I think it becomes harder subsequently to ever do it with quite the same intent as the first time!
Since we're in "chat", I can say this generally without offending -- I'm actually surprised at how many "slip ups" or "not allowed foodstuffs" we're seeing confessed to already... my first time, I was so perfect!
