Product Description
'My aim is for you to make simple changes that will begin to take effect almost immediately and will last for life'
The You Are What You Eat Cookbook puts Dr Gillian McKeith's healthy food philosophy into action. The McKeith Diet of Abundance is not about telling you what not to eat, rather it shatters the usual expectations of dieting and allows you to eat more, not less. The key is variety, and in her new cookbook, Dr McKeith provides over 200 recipes and menu plans for daily life, from mouthwatering smoothies to lunches on the run to family meals. Take the food test at the beginning of the book and you will also get to tailor your own plan according to your specific needs, whether you would simply like more energy throughout the day, you'd like to lose some weight, or you're stressed out. Every recipe included is bursting with goodness, soon you will be too.

This review is from: You Are What You Eat Cookbook (Paperback)
The mrs bought this book, but as I do most of the cooking I had to read it.
I'm all for healthy eating but the recipes in this book are completely devoid of all flavour. I was particularly unimpressed with the bean chili recipe which doesn't contain any chili. Healthy eating isn't rocket science, you don't need this book

High on interest, low on taste.,
This review is from: You Are What You Eat Cookbook (Paperback)
Having been an avid follower of the Ch4 series and having bought the 1st book, I was looking forward to the release of the cook book. Like most people, I though the food and recipes sounded interesting if not somewhat "New Age", and couldn't wait to find out what had made such a difference to so many peoples lives and figures!!This book, although easy to read, well presented and informative, fails to hit the spot, however. Out of umpteen recipes, and numerous hours creating, we only found one (the baked bananas!) to have any taste or appeal. You may say (a la Ms McKeith) we have abused our taste buds, but not so , I would argue. We were converted from the processed muck during the start of the first series, and have been making our own healthy eating recipes, so would consider ourselves to be reasonably healthy. The recipes in this book are bland, tasteless, colourless (Mushroom Stroganoff especially!).I could go on...By all means buy it for interests sake, to see what actually goes into the recipes on the show, but I have to say I do wonder whether the "mmmmmmms- delicious" were all for the cameras!!!

A great revision of her last book,
This review is from: You Are What You Eat Cookbook (Paperback)
I bought this book as soon as it was published as I'm the family cook, and I was looking for ideas for healthy eating. My wife and I were hesitant about this book as we thought we would end up with a whole load of recipes that compromised on taste and flavour; the title made us think we would end up with something like that. However, the book tries to make you approach eating and cooking from a whole new perspective. Gillian McKeith has taken a really scientific approach to food and eating, but has made it sensible and has not compromised on taste sensations.You have to be prepared to make real lifestyle changes to reap the benefits of this book. You have to shop differently and purchase alternatives to the usual groceries (though there is nothing that you won't find in any large supermarket). I particularly enjoy this book as it lets me loose in Sainsburys, really exploring all the aisles that I had previously just breezed past. And using McKeith's principles, we have transformed our daily menu to include colour, health and vitality, and it's given us so much energy too. I have noticed that our dietary changes have brought improvements to my skin, and my wife's hair and nails look fabulous. Even our 21 month old son, who is a difficult eater, loves the food I have been preparing from this book (he especially likes the smoothies). The book isn't just about recipes. It is about changing the way you cook in general, and also the way you use food. You can use the ideas and principles in this book and apply it to all your other recipes. No longer trying to lose weight, this book has given us the ability to have a really healthy lifestyle and you feel absolutely wonderful with it. I have found the ides and principles in this book really easy to apply to our lives, and you start to see the effects quickly. It is a lifestyle and recipe book - it is not a diet, but I believe it would certainly help any diet and it would also help you lose weight through eating better. Happily, it doesn't have the constraints laid down by a diet. Just one word of warning. It really requires some time and dedication to follow the principles laid down in this book, and it doesn't let you just quickly whip up dishes. It's great, but you need to make time for it.
