Excellent value for money edition of the more expensive glossy paper one - Rated
I am very pleased with this book, it's the same, if not got slightly more info in than the other green, glossy 'you are what you eat' book, by a different publisher. I've also found it quicker to use as a reference & find the info I'm looking for.
It's worth reading the reviews for the other edition, to give you more of an idea, I wasn't sure it was the same book until it arrived, but prefer this one to the other edition.
A Word of Warning - Rated
A word of waning before you start taking Gillian McKeith too seriously.
If you're looking for dietary advice you need a dietician. Nutrionist is a made up word - anybody can call themselves a nutrionist (and a lot of nobodies do).
Gillian McKeith is no longer allowed to call herself "Dr" after a recent ruling by the ASA. She has no medical qualifications, just a PhD from a non-accredited US college (you can get one for yourself for around $800).
Yes somewhere at the heart of what she says there is sensible dietary advice - eat fruit & veg, not burgers and ready meals. Like most diets this is just a faddish way of dressing this up but she adds some nonsense pseudoscientific explanations of why it might work.
For example, she insists eating raw food is better because we need the enzymes. These are destroyed in your stomach and broken down before you absorb them. However there are few more vitamins in uncooked veg. than in cooked. But why can't she say that instead of making up nonsense?
She believes eating green vegetables will oxygenate your blood because of the chlorophyll. Even if the chlorophyll could get into you blood you'd have to shine a light up your bum for this to work! If it did work it would also be making glucose in your blood (oxygen is just a by-product as far as plants are concerned) which would be a real problem if you're diabetic.
She believes yeast will make you ill because you'll absorb it into your blood where it'll ferment. That really is nonsense, yeast is a living organism and can't possibly enter you blood unless you inject it.
This woman doesn't deserve your money.
If you really want to know what's going on read The Truth About Food or watch the BBC series instead of McKeith's nonsense.
