- good eating plan, but...
I love Gillian McKeith's show and her whole philosophy towards eating. However, the calorie counts for her meals are quite low--between 900 and 1000 cals/day--due to my rough calculations. I've had to supplement some of the meals with extra protein like a chicken breast or salmon. I'm also working out a lot more than the folks on her show do--I do about an hour of hard cardio/day, 6 days/wk. Plus, 4 of those days, weight training is incorporated into my workout.
I don't miss not eating bread, pasta, sugar and the like and I do feel better--after i adjusted the diet to work for me. And, yes, I did lose weight-plenty of it.
Before starting this diet, really do your homework. Be prepared to feel light headed the first few days and drink plenty of water. Oh and instant miso soup is a god send. Good luck!

- Slim For Life by Gillian McKeith
This is just as amazing as her shows are! I took this book to work with me and everyone was hogging around me checking it out making notes! I'm very pleased with this book and anyone who wants to detox their body for a better healthier life should buy all 3 of her books!

- Excellent book
I was very pleased that I ordered this book. I am a fan of Gillian's tv program on BBC America "You Are What You Eat".
This is a health and detox plan with all the recipes in American Standard measures. It is very simple and straight forward.

It has a day by day plan for 28 days. This book is divided into four sections.....titled "the wake-up call", the ultimate health plan", The Dr Gillian detox", "slim for life" and of course her final word.

She asks you to be honest and keep a food diary and examine what you are doing now and then all you need to do is put forth the effort .
It has some less common things like dandelion tea, nettle tea and miso soup. All available at health food stores. I am looking forward to trying out the menus. I love fresh fruit, veggies, grains and beans but, I do love my chocolate and sweets too. I am looking forward to losing 10 lbs and enjoying her recipes.

Slim for Life has inspired me. I am eating much better. My weight is going down and so is my blood pressure. However the actual foods that she recommends are not available where I live. I find substitutes and it all seems to be working. The pictures is the book are beautiful and inspiring.

This book is beautiful, if you can say that about a book. The pictures are beautiful and it's very easy to follow and read. If you are looking to make a natural healthy change to your eating habits, Dr. McKeith will help you achieve those results.
