You Are What You Eat - Gillian McKeith

Stool Samples at the Ready! "YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT COOKBOOK" by Dr Gillian McKeith I bought this book during one of those 'self improvement' turns that I take once in a while. I thought that buying this book might shove me in the right direction towards eating more healthily and taking care of myself. However, on the whole, I was rather disappointed by this book. It is the sort of book you buy whenever you start your New Year's Resolution Diet but soon leave it to fester at the back of your bookshelf. In order to understand where this book is coming from, I believe it is necessary to give a quick rundown on the programme ...  Read the complete review

I’ve never really been concerned about my weight - it’s just never caused any issues for me. But towards the end of last year, probably October time, I realised that I’d piled on quite a few pounds and that I didn’t really feel comfortable with myself. I was no longer happy with my appearance and no item of clothing could succeed in making me feel better about myself.

I recently bought the book ?You Are What You Eat? which was issued in conjunction with the programme recently shown on at 20.30 on Tuesday evenings on Channel 4. I had missed the first couple of programmes but, after insistence by my daughter that I should watch, I begrudgingly did so and then became hooked on the programme. Hunting around the shops trying to find a book was hard as most shops had sold out but I managed to buy one from W H Smiths at £12.99 only to find it being sold at £9.99 at Borders bookshop. It can be purchased from Amazon.co.uk for, I think, £7.99 + P&P ...  Read the complete review

I have just been sat here for a few minutes thinking of a snappy title to give this review and then I realised this book doesn’t need some catchphrase to sell it. This book speaks for itself and it really has changed my life. First of all, let me tell you how I came to hear about Dr Gillian McKeith and her book. It was Sunday afternoon and I was driving home. Dr Gillian was doing a radio interview to promote the TV series on channel 4 at the time. I soon became transfixed to what she had to say and her advice seemed to make so much sense. I work shifts, so had never actually watched the show at this stage and regretted missing it. Fortunately, I have Channel 4 ...  Read the complete review
