3.0 out of 5 stars Very useful, but much of the info is free elsewhere, 30 July 2004
By A Customer
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars good solid advice - pratical and realistic, 8 July 2004
By Amber J. Burton (Bournemouth) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Having tried a number of nutritional plans (I refuse to call them 'diets' since the word has me defeated at the outset!) I was/am desperate to find proper advice that didn't include lengthy meal planning or weird supplements with unprounceable names. Permanately tired, mildly depressed and fed up with being ill with one thing or another, I bought this book with hope and more than a little cynicism. I'm glad I did.

It is NOT an answer to every health/weight/wellbeing problem, but it IS a really good practical advice kit on getting the right kind of food into your body. Two weeks on and the caffiene withdrawal has vanished and I actually have some energy to get on with things I've put off for months.

Downside is that there are only a handful of recipes and some of them appear to have missing instructions. There is a 7 day meal planner which is useful, although there is little in the way of suggestions for substitutions for, say, a 6 year old's plate. And despite assurances, I've tried and failed to get quinoa or dried seaweed in a supermarket - its a visit to health food shop again.

But this is a down-to-earth and practical manual for helping you figure out what's missing or wrong with your diet, and is very motivational in getting you on the path to a healthier lifestyle.

5.0 out of 5 stars Forget the scales and focus on the Gob, 6 July 2004
I am definitely and unashamedly biased (being an 'ordinary' person who was one of Britain's worst Eaters prior to Doc Gillian shaking up my life) but having read through this book I firmly believe if you follow the author's passion for a better life then this is the way to go and you will feel and see the difference! It's not always easy and if you live in a small town collecting some of the ingredients can be challenging but well worth it. Love the books layout, tips and approach to healthy living. It is now my Bible.... Yx
