A comprehensive discussion of the principles behind this ‘diet’, which is a way of eating for good nutrition and not a slimming diet per se. However, you can easily adjust portion sizes so that it also helps you lose weight.
It is easy to follow either with a tick list or I use cards to move from the “Not yet Eaten” pile to the “Eaten” pile, so that I can easily track what I have consumed and what I haven’t yet. I do not bother with the points system; I just make sure that I keep to what I can eat freely and also that I do not cheat and eat what I am not supposed to.
I was delighted to find that the ‘dark green salad leaves’ item includes Cos or Romaine/Little Gem lettuce, which makes it easy to find this all year round. I make green or red smoothies using salad and fruit to easily up my intake of raw veg, etc. It is so easy and delicious… and therefore easy to stick to. I don’t bother with the recipes, but there are lots of delicious-looking ones in the book.
I suffer from ‘brain fog’, a symptom of ADHD/dyslexia for some people. This diet seems to have done away with that and my head feels clear for the first time for years.
