3.0 out of 5 stars Very useful, but much of the info is free elsewhere, 30 Jul 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Forget the scales and focus on the Gob, 6 Jul 2004

By	Miss Yvonne Grant - See all my reviews

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

1.0 out of 5 stars A Sad Disappointment, 19 Oct 2004

By A Customer

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!
