A Nutritionist Weighs in...
This plan includes many insightful recommendations to encourage you to pay better attention to you bodies. The plan's creator Dr. Gillian McKeith practices in Europe where supplements are more widely used. Her strong emphasis on herbal remedies and teas offers an interesting point of view. At the same time, there is not adequate scientific evidence to prove that such remedies are truly effective.
The blunt and honest, yet comfortable, discussion of various bodily conditions and functions provides a lot of useful information. The mini quizzes and questionnaires are also useful tools to help you decide where you need the most help. The pictures and charts in the book are gorgeous and make reading enjoyable. However, some of the detoxification methods could wreak havoc on the digestive system. You should consider them with caution and undertake them only with permission of your physician. The best way to approach this lifestyle is to read the plan thoroughly and take away a few of the recommendations.
Pick and choose among this plan's recommendations to get in touch with yourself and gain some useful tips
In spite of the good information that this plan provides, it is not very practical for most of us. The focus on whole and fresh foods, exercise, and cooking are excellent. The supplement regimens and foods to avoid might be too much, especially if you're not highly motivated.
The food combining techniques pose the most difficulties: eating out would be nearly impossible with all the things that need to be considered. The supplement regimens are extensive. The daily menus may leave you unsatisfied from eating mostly fruits and vegetables day after day.
