Six weeks ago, I was given this book by my mother who absolutely swears by it. I was sceptical at first but decided to give it a try anyway. For me, the results after just two weeks were very noticable and I found that with a little organisation- as suggested in the book, the detox was simple and pain free, which for someone like me- a once dedicated meat eater, is very important.
Unlike the previous reviewer, I didn't find the recipe suggestions (which is what they are) to be rigid or unimaginative. The book was my introduction to many grains and pulses that I'd never come across let alone tried before and it has led to me seeking out ever more adventurous alternatives to white rice and wheat. The book is extremely good value for money and the advice that Carol and her nutritionalist has to offer is clear, concise and easy to follow. I knew, when I was given the book, that I was not receiving a scientific paper or an article from the New Scientist- so I think the previous review was grossly unfair.
Having used the book for two weeks, I felt absoluelty wonderful, I woke up feeling refreshed in the morning, I have lost weight, have drastically changed my body shape and my skin looks healthy and hydrated. My husband saw the difference and also went on the detox- as has my sister. My eating habits have changed altogether and I am never hungry, so I tend not to crave the foods Carol suggests you avoid. I do not ever see myself making a return to sugar in my tea or eating white rice at home and I now know that I can take or leave meat and fish. Last but not least in these times of recession, my wallet has really benefited from the swop from expensive meats and fish purchases to the wide and varied fresh fruit and veg purchases we now make intead.

Most of the recipes in this book do sound easy and pretty good (but far from inspiring). What is even more important is that they are made from readily available ingredients, which they appear to be.
But the reason that I gave this book only one star rating is because, as my title suggests, her proselytizing nutritional rhetoric borders on religious fervor.
I was particularly taken aback by her outdated bias against fat in diets. She makes some militant claims against animal sourced fats in ingested foods, to which NO notations are provided. In fact, there were no scientific, or otherwise corroberating, literature notations to support her claims, throughout the book.
Page 37: "Animals fats...have NO benificial role in keeping te body healthy..." Okay.... says who? You, Ms. Vorderman? And maybe the nutritionist that she consulted writing this book? Well I once heard a nutritionist say that eating FRUIT between meals wasn't healthy...... so just because a person is a nutritionist, doesn't bestow upon them any automatic credability.
So save yourself the money on this book and look into other, more reasonable sources of nutritional information. There are other books, slightly more expensive with a better collection of recipes, fantastic photography of the food, that spare the reader of fantatical absolutes and provide better variation.
Good eating!!
