Customer Reviews

What a helpful resource!
I'd been looking for a lot of answers to my health and fitness questions and this is one book that has all my answers!

Full of useful information and advice, this is one book I'd thoroughly recommend!

easy to understand one stop guide for your food and health concerns
This is probably the most useable book that Gillian McKeith has written so far. It is essentially a complete compendium that provides a thorough guide to the direct relationship between food and health, looking in detail at the effects we can have on our bodies and our general well being by taking some simple steps. Not only does the book lend itself to being a useful resource to dip into when you need to find out about a condition or illness, it is also immensly readable and has already expanded my knowledge on many areas I was not aware of.

Be prepared though - if you are planning on just dipping in here or there, you may well be sucked into a whole new world and then find yourself clearing the store cupboards of the usual junk and hitting the shops to restock with far healthier alternatives. The advantage being this time you know why your buying certain foods and what the benefits are that will follow.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who needs a one stop bible for all food and health issues - and that might just be most of us!

Food, glorious food
I'm not sure if this book will bring out all your ailments and health problems before giving you a healthy eating option to put them right!

But it certainly can't do any harm to have the book to hand. These days we don't look after our health half enough and we certainly should.

Buy the book and congratulations to the author; you'll probably live longer if you follow at least some of the foodie ideas and just maybe some of the options may prove very tasty as well!!
