Product Description

Product Description
This volume tackles what the author believes is the root cause of weight gain. Our own natural weight control system is being poisoned by the toxic chemicals that we encounter in our everyday lives - this damage makes it increasingly difficult for our bodies to control their own weight, so we end up getting fatter even if we eat less food. This detox diet approach tells you how the avoid the most "fattening" chemicals, or "chemical calories" in your food and around your home. It explains how to shed your body's load of chemical calories safely, and rebuild your natural slimming system. Not only should you lose all your excess weight, but you may never have to struggle with the scales again. In addition, the long-term health benefits and the boost to your energy levels should prove beneficial.

About the Author
Dr. Paula Baillie-Hamilton is a medical doctor with a PhD in human metabolism from the University of Oxford. She is a Visiting Fellow in Occupational and Environmental Health at Stirling University and an adviser to The Soil Association. She lives in Perthshire, Scotland.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not so much a diet - more a life changing experience, 24 April 2002
By A Customer
The Detox diet is a scientific examination of the toxic chemicals we are increasingly being exposed to, it is a gripping and worrying read. How do these chemicals affect our bodies? Can these chemicals be linked to the rise in breast cancer and diabetes? And most importantly - How can we reverse the symptoms of chemical toxicity?
I feel that this book is a scientific research paper with a diet tacked onto the end of it, not a diet in the Atkins/Connely sense but anybody who eats supermarket food and drinks tap water should read this. Shocking stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars How we unwittingly add damaging chemicals to our bodies., 13 May 2002
By A Customer
Do not be fooled into thinking that The Detox Diet is just another diet book. Dr Paula Baillie-Hamilton has done some amazing research and the answers to "why I cannot lose weight" are written in simple language and the conclusions are so obvious that I was unable to 'start tomorrow' We have all known for ages about the chemicals that are thrown into our food to make the animals fatten up more quickly in order to increase and speed up the profit margins, the sprays added to all our vegetables and fruit in order to make it look uniformly perfect, if tasteless, Oh! yes and to increase the profit margin. What is new is that we had never before realised that these same aids to profit have such a detrimental effect on our hormones. What fattens up animals and poisons insects is wreaking havoc with our natural ability to lose excess weight naturally. When we eat the supposedly diet foods of salads, vegetables, fruit etc we are unwittingly adding the damaging chemicals to our bodies and thus the vicious cycle is continued. Dr.Baillie-Hamilton explains in layman's language how to break the cycle and restore the body's natural ability to lose weight, seemingly without trying. Well I am trying and it is working.

5.0 out of 5 stars How to get healthy and slim in one easy lesson, 2 May 2002
By A Customer
Very readable explanation, in layman's language, of how the artificial chemicals present in most conventionally produced foods, are affecting our bodies for the worse and making us fatter. As I read it, I was alternately horrified by what goes into our food, and glad that I was learning what I could do about it. This book gives logical reasons for what many of us feel instinctively but what nobody before has been able to adequately explain, for example exactly why organic food is better for you than conventional food. Many people would rather not know these uncomfortable facts - if you do and you care as much about your body as I do about mine -- read this book!!
