You know how some people can't remember the names of characters in novels? I similarly struggle to remember the name of enzymes and amino acids - which means that much of this book was lost on me.
The main thrust seemed to be: sugar is bad, most bread is bad, caffeine is super bad, and you shouldn't have too much milk if you can help it. And chocolate has caffeine in it, which I don't think I knew - making it extra bad. Potatoes & brown rice: acceptable in moderation. Oh and take a decent multivitamin supplement, but let the author formulate it for you or you will get very confused in Holland & Barrett trying to acquire all the ingredients individually and in the right dosages.
Anything that advises me to drink hot water with lemon - and tries to persuade me that it is 'wonderfully refreshing' - makes my heart sink, but I suppose in the long run it's probably a marginally less joyless prospect than suffering a slow death through fat-related illness.
I suspect I am only likely to follow Dr Glenville's recommendations to the letter if compelled to do so by a sadistic personal chef who keeps me prisoner in my own home and forces me to lift weights. But perhaps there is some hope for the half-hearted, and by following the general principles I will be preserved from a future in which I lose household items in my voluminous flesh-folds.

I thought she brought up a lot of great questions to ask your Doctor. But in the end, it was just a marketing gimmick, and a routine that is damn near impossible.
