I just started week 3 on it. I lost quite some weight. dont know exact amount as I want to wait for the complete 28 days to weigh myself. I lost enough weight to get rid of my double chin:)

I tried it a couple of years ago.
Lost about 12 lbs in about 3 weeks, then stopped losing.
Gained everything back after I stopped the diet.

You really need to read the book, or at least parts of the book, but really understand the diet, but in a nutshell:
It's basically three phases:
Phase 1: Sunday & Monday breakfast fruits and grain from a specific list
Snack twice a day fruit
Lunch fruit grain vegetable protein all list specific
Supper grain, protein vegetables
You need to eat 5 times each day 3 meals 2 snacks with app 2.5 to 3 hours intervals.
You need to drink half your body weight in water each day so for example if your starting weight is 200 lbs. You will need to drink 100 ounces of water each day
Phase 2: Tuesday & Wednesday
Meals and snacks are protein and vegetables only plus the water. This is the most difficult phase but once you get used to it it's fine
Phase 3: Thursday- Shabbos
Breakfast fruit, grain, vegetables, protein, healthy fat,
Snacks healthy fat and vegetables
Lunch fruit ,protein, vegetables, healthy fat,
Supper protein, vegetables, healthy fat

I'm very appreciative of this diet and I'm glad to answer your questions

I did it for a month and lost 2 kg a week. Unfortunately cause I'm already on a restricted diet with being a celiac and lactose intolerant there wasn't much for me to eat. I did find good recipe ideas on pinterest. I think I lost so much cause of the amount of water I drank.

Is the book easy to read? I want to try it but I find that some of these diet books are so confusing and hard to understand…

Not the OP, but this is one weeks menu I created when I was on the diet.
I did phase 1 - Monday Tuesday, phase 2 -Wednesday Thursday, and phase 3 - Friday Shabbos Sunday, because phase 3 has the biggest allowance for food types, and I wanted to be able to eat somewhat normally over the weekend and especially on Shabbos. I also mixed up the meal/snack order on Friday and Shabbos to allow for meal scheduling.

Monday:
Oatmeal + apple
Berry smoothie
Salad with chick peas, rice cake, melon
Kiwi
Sloppy Joe's with no-carb pasta (I think wonder noodles, its been a while)

Tuesday:
Oatmeal + Blueberries
Melon
Soup with lima beans, crackers, mango
Peach
Grilled chicken, soup

Wednesday:
Tuna + pepper
Lox + Cucumber + celery
Grilled chicken salad
Turkey deli + pickles
London broil, broccoli

Thursday:
Tuna + pepper
Lox + Cucumber + celery
Celery soup, beef jerky
Broccoli kugel
Tilapia, asparagus

Friday:
Pistachios
Toast + coconut butter, egg, pepper, peach
Salad (tomato, hearts of palm, Avocado, chick pea)
Baby carrots + hummus
Challah, dips, salmon, chicken soup

Shabbos:
Avocado + tomato + onion
Challah, dips, egg, liver, peppers, deli
Olives
Challah, hummus, carrots
Salmon, Cucumber, grapefruit

Sunday:
Toast, omelet with onions & peppers, grapefruit
Cucumbers + hummus
Salad (tomato, hearts of palm, Avocado, chick pea)
Cashews
Lentil pasta + pesto dressing
