Product Description

Product Description

Here, in response to all the requests, is the detox programme that undid the damage Morgan Spurlock - director and star of Super Size Me - did to his body in a month of eating nothing but McDonald's. Alex Jamieson is a holistic health counsellor and personal chef. Her most famous client (and boyfriend) is Morgan Spurlock, director of the award-winning documentary film Super Size Me, in which he subjects himself to a month-long regime of eating nothing but food and drink available at McDonald's. By the end, Morgan had gained 25 pounds, developed chest pains, had dangerously high blood pressure and a 2000 per cent increase in the fat content of his liver. In addition, his life, health and libido had deteriorated. His salvation: Alex's detox diet. Within 8 weeks of changing his diet, he had lost 10 pounds and his liver function, blood pressure and cholesterol all reverted to their original levels. Alex also saw a vast change in Morgan's attitude, energy levels and clarity of mind. Filled with mouth-watering recipes, with both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, The Great American Detox is an accessible and achievable version of the diet Alex Jamieson designed specifically to bring Morgan back to health. It is a flexible 8-week programme for weight loss, energy improvement, allergy elimination and other long-term health benefits.

4.0 out of 5 stars Food for Life, 4 Aug 2005
After finishing this book, it struck me that this "diet" was practically the same as the now-famous Dr Gillian McKeith's (except Alex Jamieson doesn't mention stools, wind or the colour of your tongue).

However this book is infinitely better. For a start it is a proper *book* - there's no padding out with huge writing and pretty pictures, the book is cheaper, and, IMHO, better value for money.

The first half of the book is an eight chapter (one for each week) guide to your detox. She explains, in turn, about caffeine, sugar, carbs, proteins, fats, and then talks about detoxing the rest of your life, down to what type of plastic bottle your water comes in. Everything is explained very clearly, with lots of facts and a few anecdotal stories about her clients. As well as telling you what NOT to eat, she also gives loads of information on what TO eat. The second half of the book is full of delicious-sounding recipes (I love the way she doesn't fall into the trap of using mushrooms in every single one, because veggie/vegan books often do, and I hate mushrooms!), much more than in McKeith's.

Overall, this is a great book, which supports the new trend for healthier eating, and I would highly recommend it. It goes very well with her boyfriend Morgan Spurlock's book too, I bought the two together and they compliment each other very nicely.

4.0 out of 5 stars A diet for life, 27 Jun 2005
By A Customer
I bought this book having seen the film, "Super Size Me", and having become interested in the idea of leading a healthier life from the Gillian McKeith books and TV show. The title, refering to the book as a "diet", is perhaps a little misleading - there is no set-out food plan for you to follow day to day, it's more a book that gives you ideas and information on how to change your life for the better. It's a diet in the sense that it offers advice more on the way you eat, not specifically what. There is a good recipe section at the back covering all kinds of foods, from snacks to main meals to condiments and drinks, which are all easy to follow and gave great results. Alex's writing is chatty and friendly and she sets out all her arguments clearly and really gets her point across as common sense, rather than forcing her ideas on to you. I would definitely recommend the book to anyone with an interest in optimum nutrition or who is maybe not feeling their best and wants to explore ways of improving their health and well-being - it is working for me!
