Sinossi
«Sei quello che mangi»: una frase che si ripete spesso, ma alla quale forse non diamo la giusta importanza. Nel nostro corpo ci sono circa cento trilioni di cellule che hanno bisogno di un adeguato nutrimento quotidiano, mentre noi spesso mangiamo di corsa cibi preconfezionati, e spesso, sempre più spesso, mangiamo troppo, finendo col sentirci fiacchi, impigriti e col vederci... grassi. In questo libro Gillian McKeith analizza l’alimentazione in ogni suo aspetto, dai segnali che gli organi del nostro corpo – lingua, pelle, mani, capelli, occhi, stomaco – inviano per manifestare il loro disagio, ai valori nutritivi di ogni alimento. Spiega come abbinare i cibi in modo corretto tenendo conto delle caratteristiche nutrizionali. Presenta una serie di ricette per preparare cibi appetitosi e salutari al tempo stesso, e propone un programma-tipo di sette giorni per perdere i chili superflui e sentirsi meglio senza patire la fame e scoprendo, anzi, nuovi sapori. Perché «il cibo riguarda tutti gli aspetti del nostro essere, l’umore, i livelli di energia, la capacità di concentrarsi, gli impulsi sessuali, il sonno e la salute in generale: in breve, mangiare in modo salutare è la chiave del nostro benessere».

Recensioni
I have owned this book for a long long time. It holds a wealth of information and a great deal of it is information that will help you get to grips with your body and how and what you eat! Longer review to come!
No, no, definitely not. I picked up quite a judgy, self-righteous tone off the bat, but I finally realized this was not the book for me when she referred to one of her former clients as a "pub-crawling greaser." Sorry Gillian, you can keep your sense of superiority and I'll go hang out with the much Leggi tutto
First, who told Gillian it was ok to print in light pink letters on saturated hot pink pages? I get that color is fantastic, and eye catching, but this is retina-burning. Makes it an unpleasant read. I heard of Gillian from her BBC show "you are what you eat." I decided to pick up this book from the Leggi tutto
More of a 3.5, but it gets the nudge upward because I can think of a handful of people I'm going to recommend it to immediately. It was informative, light reading, and I am happy to have read it, but I had a few problems: 1) There is very little to back up the claims made. Would have been a much more Leggi tutto

I give this 4.5 The author really sets out the case of why 'You are what you eat' . A very interesting read, she looks at the entire body and how when even the smallest part of the body eg nail is unhealth it is an indication of sum deficiancy in ones diet. I really gained alot from the book regardin Leggi tutto
I skimmed this book, I did not read the whole thing. I requested it from the library because I liked the title and am generally interested in improving and varying my diet. It's quite a bit about macrobiotics--surprise! There is some interesting symptom/remedy information. It seems a bit drastic for Leggi tutto
