For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I understand what she is saying but it is EXTREME, and like it or not, it is a diet, and diets don't work. I think we all know about nutrition and we all know how to lose weight. But losing weight isn't about food, it's about human behaviour. For some reason we have lost our body signals, which tell us when we are hungry and when we are full. Plus if we eat foods that are high in sugar and fat, it messes with our metabolism/blood sugar etc.
We all KNOW we should be eating fruit and veg, and not much meat, and avoid caffeine, alcohol and sugar, (except in fruit) but as you say, life is for living!
I dont know who i despise more - her or the ignorant larda**es she is preaching to.
The telling point was when she points to some poor womans spot in the street and claims its because she eats chocolate and a low quick voiceover (in the style of those dodgy money lending ads) added "but a demotologist may not agree" implying that some of what she says is opinion and not fact.

Basically there's no sound evidence for Detoxing and it may even be dangerous
I can't stand her either, but I have to point out that she does have accredited qualifications. She has a PhD in Nutrition from an American university. So she *IS* entitled to be called Doctor (although I agree it's misleading as that title is usually reserved for medically qualified people).
What I don't get with her is inspecting people's poo.
I think she is arrogant and pushy,and when I saw her on GMTVthe other morning,I really felt for the person interviewing her,she seems to have no scruples --other than her own--.;also as previously mentioned,she is not a very good advert for her theory's, she looks rather haggard for her age .
If you eat sensibly you shouldn't come to any harm and besides,"a little of what you fancy does you good"
I think we get a bit of a skewed view as she is always working with hopless cases and I think with them the only way is, at least initially, very regimented. This is to let them see some results before they slip back into old habits. I mean have you seen some of the cases, the ones that I find sad are the ones where the parents are passing on thier habits to the kids. aaaarrrrgggghh.
Nutritionists like her generally will say that you can have the occasional blow out but just don't make it a life style choice.
I agree about the gunge she tries to peddle but you could do a lot worse than avoid the top 12 and I think that was the main aim of the program.
Anyway of the top 12, I don't think any where unreasonable. It is totally unnesseary to add salt, eat white bread, smoke, drink too much etc etc. Most of the 12 I don't do anyway.
ursula - she has a Phd which she got via a correspondence course from a non-accredited American college.

Yes she is OTT but if she can help people like Michelle Mcmanus and those other misguided people to lose weight and be healthy then well done her. These people need someone like her, strong willed and persistant to help them see reality. I regularly eat cakes and occasionally eat crisps and chips and I am not fat. So it isnt what you eat that makes you fat its how much. I know its more healthy but as others have said a little bit of what you fancy does you good.
those people that are over weight do not have a little of what they fancy ,they have a lot of what they fancy all the time .Diets are a waste of time,it is about eating the correct food all the time to get the right vitamins and protiens.
It is only her view,salad nuts friut are all excellent foods and much cheaper than burgers etc
