Nourish & Glow: The 10-Day Plan: Kickstart a lifetime of healthy eating Paperback – 23 Mar. 2017

First of all, Amelia was one of the initial highly educated nutritionists who really made sense to me. She is thoroughly qualified and has trained for years in order to pass on the benefits of her wisdom. She always quotes the evidence base for her methods, peer reviewed articles and the result is that this book is the complete amalgamation of everything we need to know. It isn't faddy, it is a 10 day blueprint to get a proper re-set of your body and mind but more importantly for me, it brings into sharp focus how tortured we have become about our food choices and how actually keeping it simple, and eating more rather than less, (of the good stuff!) fulfils your body's requirements to function properly (AND LOSE WEIGHT) but also your mind. The recipes are delicious and I could give her a HUG for including a shopping list at the beginning. There's also lots I didn't know, e.g. about amino and animal protein. It is written in a very accessible way, not patronising but also not at all complicated. It is just really kind to you. I'm the woman who burns salads and kills people when I cook for them, so this book has helped me enormously with my cooking confidence as well as my organisation...I BOUGHT TUPPERWARE. I LOVE IT. WHY DIDN'T ANYBODY TELL ME ABOUT TUPPERWARE?? I lost a stone in the 10 days, and am completely delighted. My skin is so good now I have actually stopped wearing moisturiser (except eye cream) and I sleep better and have much better ideas and fewer tears. Basically, this book explains what we need to properly nourish our bodies and minds, and then shows us how to achieve that. I'm mortified by the amount of junk I was putting into my poor bod. No wonder it had shut down. Think I went for days without giving it complete proteins, good fats, minerals and vitamins. NO MORE! Buy this book, READ AMELIA'S WISDOM, then follow the recipes and you will be giving yourself the best Christmas present.

Just finished the 10 day plan after the birth of my second baby. 4 months post partum and this is a perfect book for ensuring I'm nourishing my body and my milk for my baby. This book is perfect as it's the ultimate hand-holder. I didn't need to think about what dishes to cook when and what ingredients I needed - it's all laid out. And it's that planning that has put me off in the past. A great idea to set out a plan so conveniently and put me out of my comfort zone and try new recipes. I now have a new repertoire of recipes that I will continue to cook. I've also bought Amelia's cook.nourish.glow book as I like how simple the recipes are. I hope this will be the start of a new way of eating and living. I feel great - not bloated and with more energy. Some reviews have said this is just common sense. Yes, there is no new revelation that eating good whole food is good for your body. But this book tells you how to do it and gives you a good foundation of recipes and ways of looking at a meal that may not have done otherwise.Only annoyance was that I didn't have a pesto recipe in there that was supposed to be. Perhaps I got an earlier unproved copy from amazon. Otherwise the instructions are spot on and very easy and clear to follow.I lost 4-5 ibs in 10 days which is pretty healthy. Hopefully more to follow!

Great book with lovely recipes which are set out clearly and are easy to prepare, particularly lunches for work - without a sandwich in sight! The plan is useful in teaching you what you should be eating daily and how to plan future meals.My only criticism of the plan is that I lack energy, particularly to go to the gym.The author does make it clear that you need to tailor food choices to your energy levels. As a result of this plan, I realise that I require starchy carbs (e.g rice), particularly to exercise. I have to confess that I have not followed it to the tee and have included dairy in the plan. Would recommend to anyone wanting to learn how to eat healthy and to kickstart their health.

I'd give this 10 stars if I could. I've just finished the full ten days, having lost 2kg and friends commenting on how my skin is glowing. My mood has been balanced after a period of real stress and anxiety and I just feel really clear headed. Yes, it does require work and planning, and if you're not used to cooking or meal prepping, I can imagine it would feel hard. It definitely required a bit more figuring out than I expected as I broke it down and shopped in 3 goes rather than buying all the ingredients at once and there was plenty of flipping back and forth on pages during the evening meal prep trying to work out what to do when. The ingredients are an investment too BUT on the cost and the time, I'd just say it's not meant to be 'convenient' or 'cheap' - it's meant to be nourishing and show you a new way to eat.Personally I enjoyed the whole process (useful to plan it for 10 days when you're not going out much of course), there was not one recipe I didn't enjoy and want to make again, and the change I feel is enough to make me want to start the whole thing all over again. Highly recommended.
