I first tried this diet after a Christmas of eating, drinking and no exercise and I was shocked at how quickly it made me feel healthier. I wanted to lose a bit of weight but become more healthy and stop being bloated after eating. The recipes and meal plans are simple to follow and most taste nice. For example, the ratatouie recipe tastes fab and is really good for you. You can also make larger quantities of the recipes and freeze them for future use. However, it meant that I had to buy lots of new foods (nuts, pulses, oils) and fresh vegetables every few days, which costs quite a bit. Plus I did miss eating meat and fish! The book does allow you to do your own thing slightly , as once you get the idea of the types of things you can eat, you can make up your own recipes and add different things to her recipes to make them taste as you want. I was amazed at how quickly I got used to eating no meat/fish/dairy/wheat and the diet made me feel so healthy and not bloated at all, but still full after meals. One negative point is that it is rather difficult to keep to the diet whilst eating out. You never know exactly what is put into the foods you eat and just having a green salad every time you eat out gets rather boring! However eating at home is easy and most of the recipes are really quick to prepare. Overall I would give this diet 9 out of 10 for ease of use and great, fast results.

youngsters. Vorderman attributes her new slim shape and bundles of new-found energy to a detox diet. Her28 Day Detox Dietis not a diet video as such. It is a 28-day plan to revamp the way you eat, plan and think about food. Assisted by "detox guru" Ko Chohan (who created the plan), Carol explains her own trials with diets that didn't work, illustrated by "before" photos from when she was two stone heavier and the "after" footage now. Carol makes it sound easy and is a charming host; her own physical beauty is compelling evidence for the plan's success.An illustrated card--the free 28 Day Detox Diet Guide--provides a thumbnail guide to the diet's principles. Basically, to flush out impurities and bloating, it suggests eating lots of fruit, veggies and such. No dairy, any meat-- not even fish!--or sugar. No tea or coffee. Although the video lacks intense or scientific detail, Carol's approach is fresh, easy-to-understand and a joy to watch. Following three very different detox guinea pigs--a single mum, a single career girl and a married woman--via their video diaries, we are shown the real difficulties behind following the detox plan. This is the video for anyone who wants to lose weight and gain more energy, and is willing to make drastic, if eventually delicious and healthy changes to his or herlifestyle for 28 days. --Karen Krizanovich
