Tesco GI Diet

Read my personal review of this dieting book which will really change your life.

I have lost weight with this great book Paul McKenna's book I can make you slim.
New revised edition!

I haven't been hungry since I started this diet and there is no weighing, measuring or special foods to eat.

Very easy to follow - you can eat ALL your favourite foods!

I personally recommend you buy this book.
It has changed the way I look at food and dieting! You will find it easier than ever before to diet - and it won't seem like dieting as you're allowed all the foods you like!

Detox Diets

There are lots of detox diets out there at the moment. Several celebs have books out about detoxing.

Detoxing in a traditional sense is about giving up everything for a weekend and allowing your body chance to recover from the stresses and strains of normal living. Its recommended you detox over a weekend or when you're not working to allow you to relax and pamper yourself more.

Its best to plan carefully for this detoxing so you don't have to rush out and buy more fruit half way through.
You may get headaches from the caffiene withdrawal.

Friday: Don't eat meat, alcohol, smoke. Cut out caffiene, milk and fizzy drinks. Have an early night.

Saturday: Eat just fruit. One type at a time is recommended. So perhaps start the day with melons (as much as you can eat without feeling stuffed) then apples, then grapes maybe. The choice is up to you. Drink plenty of water.
Relax. Treat yourself to face masks and a manicure

Sunday: Add mixed salads to yuur diet, again eating plenty of fruit too. plenty of water and more pampering then an early night.

Monday: Eat lightly adding real food to your diet. Try to eat more fruit and vegetables as part of your everyday life.

There are bound to be recommended recipes out there for you to follow if you're keen. Try new vegetables like sprouting seeds. Some people swear by juice drinks although you need a juicer to make them at home you can buy pressed juices from the supermarket.

Hints and Tips on Detox

Someone recently asked "Is salt and pepper allowed on a detox diet?" Well the simple answer is it'll depend ... check the plan you're following. I'd say avoid it though until you've back onto a wide variety of foods - and eating normally again.
For items such as miso soup that'll be naturally salty so won't need extra and will give you enough.
Once you start eating processed foods you will be taking in more salt.
Get plenty of rest when detoxing. You're taking in less calories
Pamper yourself. This experience should be relaxing and enjoyable.
If you have any medical questions about your own health issues consult your doctor before starting this diet.
Try new mixtures of fruits.
Aim to try at least one new fruit and one new vegetable during the weekend.
Take some gentle non strenuous exercise (yoga, tai chi, or just some stretches)
Eat plenty of variety of fruit and vegetables
Some people recommend body brushing and applying moisturiser to your body and legs. This wil help you get smoother skin
Eat slowly and enjoy your food.
Make eating a calming relaxed experience.
