The foods advocated in the book will make you feel fuller and more energised - resulting in you eating less overall. Combine this with the advice to exercise little and often and of course you'll lose weight.
You may not need this book as you could get the information from various sources - but the presention and easy to read style all in one place could provide that last push to get you on the right road. It's worked for me.
Read numerous times from cover to cover, I absorbed every inch of this incredible book. I took supplements to help with a few ailments I had which improved them dramatically and the bonus, I lost 6 stone in weight with very little effort and my only exercise was walking for at least an hour a day (due to a damaged spine).
In 2003 I weighed 16 stone and by mid 2004 I was 8 stone. I stayed 8 stone for years with no effort at all. Just eating the plethora of foods from the abundance list, walking every day and taking vitamin supplements.
Sadly cut to 2010 and I stopped being so vigilant in my health. Then I had a baby and cravings sent me into a sugary downward spiral, and I paid the price in my weight and overall health.
So I repurchased the book since I couldn’t find my old one and am on the path to rectify the last ten years of damage I’ve done to my health.
In just one week I’m feeling better, my rosacea which felt like someone had blowtorched my face is 90% cleared up and I’m eating and enjoying food so much more.
I’ll never understand why Gillian McKeith would get the flack she did, because her strategy for health is life changing.
I’m so excited to be back to the vitality, energy, optimal health and weight. It’s going to be a long haul as I’m starting from square one again, but I know I can do it and I’m more determined than ever.
Thank you Gillian
I haven't and wouldn't try the detox, because it's too much hassle and I can't eat that little or I would probably faint, but her juice and recipe ideas are great. It's not set in stone, just pick and choose what is good for you.
I read and re-read this book all the time and it is always refreshing and puts me back on track to healthy eating. I agree that for some people, eating foods such as quinoa, tofu, or aduki beans is a challenge, and I would never catch my other half eating such things but for those willing to try something new, go for it, your body will thank you!
She may be derided since I'm a Celebrity, but she is an excellent nutritionist that should not be ignored.
