1.0 out of 5 stars A Sad Disappointment 19 Oct 2004
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
Sadly, a typical spin-off from a successful TV series. While much of the nutritional information was useful, the book was let down by shoddy editing, proofreading and indexing. Why weren't the recipes checked by a cookery editor? Instructions were confused, vital steps missed out, and measurements given in cups (not the norm in books for the UK market.)Many of the more esoteric ingredients are likely to be unobtainable outside major cities - spare a thought for those of us who live in far-flung rural areas, please. References between pages were often mis-numbered, and page numbers given in the index didn't match the actual pages. I suspect the book was produced in too much of a hurry. No doubt sales will be enormous, but many customers will be infuriated by slapdash errors!

This is a sensible book and there is a lot of information in its pages. If you are looking for a recipe plan to follow then you're provided with a 7 day meal planner plus a step by step detox day plan. Recipes are included but there aren't many. If this, plus the brief tips on supplements and on dieting, are all that you want then the information (minus the step-by-step detox day plan) is available free of charge on Gillian McKeith's official website (www.drgillianmckeith.com) - go to the Nutrition section and click on dayplanner etc. If it looks like a plan you can follow, then the book is worth buying as it does provide useful information about how to read the condition of your tongue etc, and the particular supplements which you might find beneficial.

Is it practical? Well, it does depend on your access to a good health store and a well-stocked supermarket and on your willingness to try new foods and completely eradicate others. And you may find that it doesn't easily fit into a family setting.

Does it work? Yes as long as you stick to her 'rules'and as long as you can stick to the change in eating habits (just like all diets then, really).

3 stars only, because of the extent of the repetition from McKeith's website.

1.0 out of 5 stars Badly written, structured and edited 1 Sep 2004
Format:Paperback
Whilst I agree with the basic ideas behind this book, for the complete novice to changing eating habits this book is a real let down.

1) The sample receipes are badly written. The instructions are not clear enough to follow. The ingredients are not detailed enough (eg. 'sprouts' are meant to be some sort of sprouted bean but I had to guess that) and there are often items included in the instructions that are not listed in the ingredients

2) This book is badly edited. The index lists a number of items that are not in the book, eg, try looking for 'brown rice pudding'

3) Badly written instructions, eg, how to sprout your own beans. It is impossible to follow these guidelines as there is not enough detail to fully understand what to do.

And these points sum up most of the book; good ideas badly written so that anyone without specialist knowledge will not be able to make a start. A waste of money
