The Food Doctor Diet has been around in the UK for a number of years. Recently the diet has been promoted in an on-line format.

I purchased this book a while ago (from a bargain bin) - and found it to be quite an easy and helpful read.

The Food Doctor Diet is from Ian Marber who runs the Food Doctor nutritional clinic in London.

Where the book differs from most other diet books is that it is a glossy colorful book full of lots of photos and diagrams. Most diet books tend to be a drab black-and-white affair.

Outline
Let's cut to the chase. The Food Doctor starts with an explicit 7-day meal plan. You could call it a detox. It consists of a lot of soups, and does away with simple carbs, stimulants, and saturated fats.

Principles
After the 7-day plan comes the "Plan for Life", and there is no mention of calorie counts - just portions. The Plan for Life is based on the following principles.

1. Eat protein along with complex carbs. Lunchtime will include starchy carbs, but dinner drops out the starchy carbs.
2. Stay hydrated - minimum 6 glasses of water daily, no alcohol except with a meal and less than 3 times a week
3. Eat a wide variety of food - while being wary of any food intolerances you have, and also of high-gluten grains
4. Eat frequently - little & often is best
5. Eat breakfast - don't skip this important starter for the day
6. Avoid sugar - foods with added sugar or sugar in all its forms are best left out
7. Exercise - use a regular exercise program
8. Follow the 80/20 rule - stick to the plan for 80% of the time, and for the other 20% you can indulge a little or be less rigid
9. Make time for eating - sit down & relax.
10. Eat fat to lose fat - consume essential fats only, to make up no more than 30% of your total energy intake

Overall - a sensible way to eat.
