Book Reviews of Slim for Life
Book Review: Excellent book
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Book Review: "Step by step, day by day, I will make it easy for you."
Summary: 5 Stars
Slim for Life is Dr. Gillian McKeith's 28-day ultimate health and detox plan. In four stages, the author provides step-by-step meal and snack plans to wake-up your consciousness, detox your system, and achieve a slim for life diet. The text includes menus, recipes, exercises (both physical and mental), and inspiration to break old habits and form new ones. This is a time-intensive program, but only for the first month of re-framing your nutritional thinking, after which the reader will be on a road to long-term success at weight maintenance.
Includes lush full-color photography. Recipes are in U.S. units (cups, oz, tsp, etc.), not metric units as suggested in other reviews.
Book Review: Straight Talk
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a terrific book. The information is given in a no nonsense
manner. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a realistic and
entertaining resource. I have not only lost weight, I feel fantastic.
I no longer have heartburn and my headaches are history. Gillian
delivers on her promises. ONE WARNING: it is time intensive to follow
the plan. I was strictly a heat and eat on the fly person. This book
requires gasp...cooking and prep and planning! Still I grudgingly have
learned how and it is sometimes even fun. Did I say it was a teriffic
book? It really is.
Book Review: GREAT BOOK
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book used just to check it out because I liked the show and I need to be healthier! The book is great and you will not be hungry if you eat daily what she suggests. My favorite is the mango peach smoothie!!! It is time intensive. Every night I make my lunch for the following day and partially prepair my dinner so it takes less time when I get home in the eve. It's only been 2 weeks and well grocery's can be expensive because I've been going to the health food store but I feel better!!! It has curbed my sweet cravings!! I dont care if she is a dr or not this beek has helped me make better choices.Book Review: Great book!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book. She really gives you a healthy diet and motivates you to eat well. It is difficult to find all of the ingredients, but you make do. I had to substitute some of the beans. You can eat as much as you want of the right food. So if your hungry afterwards, you can eat more salad, fruit, etc. The first two days were hard, but after that, I felt great. I was not hungry, and I felt very healthy. I have already lost a few inches and pounds. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to get healthy. This is not a book for someone looking for a quick weigh loss fad diet.
