1.0 out of 5 stars A Word of Warning, 4 April 2007

By	I. Nicholson "i_nicholson" (Glasgow, Scotland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A word of waning before you start taking Gillian McKeith too seriously.

If you're looking for dietary advice you need a dietician. Nutrionist is a made up word - anybody can call themselves a nutrionist (and a lot of nobodies do).

Gillian McKeith is no longer allowed to call herself "Dr" after a recent ruling by the ASA. She has no medical qualifications, just a PhD from a non-accredited US college (you can get one for yourself for around $800).

Yes somewhere at the heart of what she says there is sensible dietary advice - eat fruit & veg, not burgers and ready meals. Like most diets this is just a faddish way of dressing this up but she adds some nonsense pseudoscientific explanations of why it might work.

For example, she insists eating raw food is better because we need the enzymes. These are destroyed in your stomach and broken down before you absorb them. However there are few more vitamins in uncooked veg. than in cooked. But why can't she say that instead of making up nonsense?

She believes eating green vegetables will oxygenate your blood because of the chlorophyll. Even if the chlorophyll could get into you blood you'd have to shine a light up your bum for this to work! If it did work it would also be making glucose in your blood (oxygen is just a by-product as far as plants are concerned) which would be a real problem if you're diabetic.

She believes yeast will make you ill because you'll absorb it into your blood where it'll ferment. That really is nonsense, yeast is a living organism and can't possibly enter you blood unless you inject it.

This woman doesn't deserve your money.

If you really want to know what's going on read The Truth About Food or watch the BBC series instead of McKeith's nonsense.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent value for money edition of the more expensive glossy paper one, 16 Feb 2008

By	Ms. S. M. Plues "Sara" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am very pleased with this book, it's the same, if not got slightly more info in than the other green, glossy 'you are what you eat' book, by a different publisher. I've also found it quicker to use as a reference & find the info I'm looking for.
It's worth reading the reviews for the other edition, to give you more of an idea, I wasn't sure it was the same book until it arrived, but prefer this one to the other edition.

3.0 out of 5 stars YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT, 1 Nov 2009

By	A. Stephen "'www.aspireandinspire.co.uk'" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Having read this book, I used it to lose a great deal of weight but adapted it to fit in with 'real' eating habits. I stuck to the principles, good wholesome products, fantastic self made up recipes, not eating processed food, no cows milk. Liked the spirulina and other additives, but if I wanted a mushroom or other vegetable/ fruit on the dont eat list, I ate it anyway and still lost 4 1/2 stone.

Following that, years later, still won't eat processed foods, never got back into buying chocolate and still like my made from scratch meals.

My friends were more shocked by my new way of eating than I was and I was never hungry, in fact, I find that when I eat the right food, I am never hungry.
