I'm cleaning up my diet - because I let it go over Christmas and it's nearly the end of January but I'm still eating like it's still Christmas!This book caught my eye, I like the idea of 'clean' eating rather than dieting. I liked the advice to clear out your cupboards and refrigerator, so you won't be tempted.I agree with the author's list of benefits of clean eating, because I've experienced them before. More energy, stronger immune system (I always get colds when I'm not eating clean), better mental awareness, etc.I thoroughly agree with her advice not to make lots of changes overnight but to change gradually. Much less chance of suffering a cleansing reaction.I haven't tried any of the recipes yet, I'm still gradually adding more fresh fruit and vegetables to my diet, but the first one I'm going to try is the Zucchini Muffins, they look delicious.The quick snack recipes and the dessert recipes are brilliant. Worth the price of the book just for those as snacks are often the things that cause problems for me. Once I give in to a chocolate bar or dessert, there's my whole day of eating well gone!This is one I'll be keeping on my Kindle.
