I found this book at the back of my cupboard recently, my mother had given it to me years ago and thought I'd have a little look. I was absolutely fascinated by all the information and it seemed to me that the recent diets which are circulating could quite easily be based on Kordels writings. I have just started having the HOV which he recommends to have half an hour before eating 3 times daily. The flavour is fabulous and seems to be curbing my appetite, so all in all I love this book. Thanks Cheryl.
