 Surprisingly good... July 17, 2008

I've begun watching her show on the BBC and have seen participants have amazing results. If you watch it a "stone" is about 14 lbs. The recipes are measured in metrics but there are several web sites that will allow you to convert the measurement to US customary measurements. Other than that, the recipes are simple. I find myself thinking..."Is that it? Did I miss something?" So far, the recipes are flavorful. I didn't think I'd particularly enjoy "health" food but so far, so good. I had trouble eating brown rice but her recipe is easy and delicious. Oh, also had to look up some ingredients ie) rocket = arugula, croquette = zuchinni. Would recommend this cookbook to others.
Some recipes contain items that are hard to find July 7, 2008

I love Gillian McKeith's program "You Are What You Eat" and decided that many of the recipes suggested to the participants of that show made sense. The only problem is that unless you live close to a large, well-stocked grocery store or health food store, chances are most of the recipes will do you little good.
I don't live in the middle of nowhere, but finding millet (used in many recipes) is almost impossible. Mung beans? Nope. Tahini sauce? Not at my supermarket. I use the overall idea of healthy eating espoused by the cookbook and make many substitutions. Unfortunately, that sort of defeats the purpose of the cookbook. I can't follow the recipes exactly.
To get an overall idea of what this cookbook contains, and before you buy, go to the UK's Channel 4 website for You Are What You Eat (just do a Google search) and take a look at the sample recipes. There are lots of them; you might be better off trying the recipes at the site before getting the cookbook.

This book is well Brilliant! I started cooking things I never used before. I have dropped 20 pounds in 2 weeks and feel 100% better. My husband even started to eat some of my meals. The conversions charts for farenheit and the metric system are easy enough to print out on the net so not a problem there. The British words for some vegetables were easily looked up on the net too. Invest in a set of scales that weighs grams and ounces and you are set. My only problem is that the portions are way to big for me, so I always cut everything in 1/2 or 1/4. Remember this is a life style change; not a fad diet. Gillian also has menus that are designed for Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer.
If you like the show you will love the book May 27, 2008
