My version was published in 2004. Absolutely loved the TV series and thoroughly enjoyed reading this. ( )

I really enjoyed reading the tips (some closely, others skimmed) in this book, though I thought the layout and design were overbearing and distracting at times. A lot of the nutritional tips seem good, though some seem "different" (over-the-top or just different? not sure), so I doubt I'll try them all, but it's good to have some things to work on. ( )

Never finished. Depressing! ( )

La comida afecta a cada aspecto de nosotros: el estado de ánimo, el nivel de energía, el apetito, la capacidad de pensar, el deseo sexual, el sueño y la salud en general. Si estás luchando contra tu peso, sientes que no tienes energía, padeces estrés, tienes problemas de salud o simplemente quieres aumentar tu vitalidad, Eres lo que comes es tu libro.
En él encontrarás las claves para conocer tu cuerpo a través de las señales más habituales que éste emite; las soluciones para superar los cinco problemas más comunes: peso, cansancio, desórdenes digestivos, estrés y el síndrome premenstrual.

Gillian McKeith is a British TV star -- on her reality show, she makes fat Brits confront how much horrible food they eat, and then berates them into getting healthy. This book shares a title with that show, true, but it's light on the abuse. Instead we get lots of pretty pictures of vegetables and love-based encouragement. McKeith gives the usual advice: eat greens instead of meat, skip processed foods, avoid alcohol and caffeine, et cetera. She's also hostile to bread and fond of algae...why does every diet book I read contain a passage condemning diets? It's quite an amusing authorial tic. Anyway, McKeith seems sane, so you could do worse than to read this book. Or you could just remember Michael Pollan's concise advice ("Eat food. Mostly plants. Not too much") and watch McKeith on BBC America. She's more fun when she's hectoring.
