5.0 out of 5 stars Straight Talk , January 13, 2008
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Step by step, day by day, I will make it easy for you.", February 9, 2008
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars good eating plan, but..., April 7, 2008
I love Gillian McKeith's show and her whole philosophy towards eating. However, the calorie counts for her meals are quite low--between 900 and 1000 cals/day--due to my rough calculations. I've had to supplement some of the meals with extra protein like a chicken breast or salmon. I'm also working out a lot more than the folks on her show do--I do about an hour of hard cardio/day, 6 days/wk. Plus, 4 of those days, weight training is incorporated into my workout.
I don't miss not eating bread, pasta, sugar and the like and I do feel better--after i adjusted the diet to work for me. And, yes, I did lose weight-plenty of it.
Before starting this diet, really do your homework. Be prepared to feel light headed the first few days and drink plenty of water. Oh and instant miso soup is a god send. Good luck!
