I don't know how long she studied with him, but she gives him credit for inspiring her diet book, the essence of which is that the body takes 24 hours to eliminate the food we eat, but in actual fact the further absorption and eventual use and discharge of the food takes 4 days. It is also easier for the body to digest and metabolise foods which are related, so she has divided four differing food groups into 4 separate days, within which there is huge variety, which you can select yourself from a list also provided. But she provides menu suggestions for 28 days, which I haven't done yet, because I reacted so strongly after only 4 days. I have stopped today, because I have a dinner party coming up on Saturday, but will stick to a very simple diet for the rest of the week.

One of the effects I found was that my body was trying to get rid of so much, mostly liquid, I had to stay home one day close to a toilet (sorry - that's eased off now, thank G.) but I felt and still feel fantastic and full of energy; mentally I have lost my sadness (sick child!) and I can recognise my former positive self, skin is better, too, I sleep better.

I didn't really know that I hadn't been o.k., because I am doing it on behalf of one very sick daughter (cancer) who stuffs her body with an array of differing tablets per day on top of her chemo and what-have-you. I am experimenting, basically, only slightly overweight - need to lose 4 kgs to have my former weight - and have already lost 1kg, probably in water. The diet is also completely salt- and sugar-free; you can use fresh herbs; herbal teas; quality honey, maple syrup and stevia for sweeteners.

I need to get my rubbish bin out - and I will send another message, once I have translated a sample menu.
Go well

Michelef: I'll start a new thread on diets. I actually meant to start my own blog, because I found no references to this excellent diet anywhere, except comments on Amazon on her books. My 'beef' with the diet is, that most traditional dishes would not be able to be eaten (but might work over a day or two, if all other traditional foods are included), unless you changed the vegetable balance round drastically -and I am going to experiment with this a little, need to do more reading. Some of the dishes served in top-notch restaurants seem to do the meat (protein) with a few veggies thing, but the balance still isn't right according to my understanding, which is as yet incomplete.
I am a believer in traditional cuisine of most countries - these tried and true recipes wouldn't have survived to become traditional, if they hadn't kept the eaters healthy - just IMO - but a complete knowledge of food traditions and the 'real' eating (including all the foibles of picking select herbs/grasses off the meadow in passing, or leaves off certain trees, as I have seen farmers do in my country) of the natives is necessary to make that judgment.
