Gillian McKeith (I think she had to drop the doctor bit?) at here most preachy. It's a useful reference book for some ailments, but I don't think it will cure cancer.

Gillian McKeith is a British TV star -- on her reality show, she makes fat Brits confront how much horrible food they eat, and then berates them into getting healthy. This book shares a title with that show, true, but it's light on the abuse. Instead we get lots of pretty pictures of vegetables and

love-based encouragement. McKeith gives the usual advice: eat greens instead of meat, skip processed foods, avoid alcohol and caffeine, et cetera. She's also hostile to bread and fond of algae...why does every diet book I read contain a passage condemning diets? It's quite an amusing authorial tic. Anyway, McKeith seems sane, so you could do worse than to read this book. Or you could just remember Michael Pollan's concise advice ("Eat food. Mostly plants. Not too much") and watch McKeith on BBC America. She's more fun when she's hectoring.

I really enjoyed reading the tips (some closely, others skimmed) in this book, though I thought the layout and design were overbearing and distracting at times. A lot of the nutritional tips seem good, though some seem "different" (over-the-top or just different? not sure), so I doubt I'll try them

all, but it's good to have some things to work on.
