Description

Join celebrity slimmer Carol Vorderman and three fellow volunteers – civil servant Carol Grey, ex-social services worker Eleanor Evans and television producer Mia Sampietro – as they embark on Ko Chohan’s 28-day detox diet, which will help you lose weight and feel healthy. And to prove that it works, Carol has managed to drop two dress sizes since embarking on the diet!TV presenter Carol Vorderman looks great for any age, never mind a fortysomething with two youngsters. Vorderman attributes her new slim shape and bundles of new-found energy to a detox diet. Her 28 Day Detox Diet is not a diet video as such. It is a 28-day plan to revamp the way you eat, plan and think about food. Assisted by “detox guru” Ko Chohan (who created the plan), Carol explains her own trials with diets that didn’t work, illustrated by “before” photos from when she was two stone heavier and the “after” footage now. Carol makes it sound easy and is a charming host; her own physical beauty is compelling evidence for the plan’s success.An illustrated card–the free 28 Day Detox Diet Guide–provides a thumbnail guide to the diet’s principles. Basically, to flush out impurities and bloating, it suggests eating lots of fruit, veggies and such. No dairy, any meat– not even fish!–or sugar. No tea or coffee. Although the video lacks intense or scientific detail, Carol’s approach is fresh, easy-to-understand and a joy to watch. Following three very different detox guinea pigs–a single mum, a single career girl and a married woman–via their video diaries, we are shown the real difficulties behind following the detox plan. This is the video for anyone who wants to lose weight and gain more energy, and is willing to make drastic, if eventually delicious and healthy changes to his or her lifestyle for 28 days. –Karen Krizanovich –This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
