AUGUST 2006

Hi,

As many of us are settling down with a good read around gardens and swimming pools it is likely that few would have chosen a diet book. However, some of these have proven to be very popular and very influential. Our dietitian Juliette Kellow has reviewed some of the latest diet and weight loss books. Which one will help you turn a new page?

Best wishes, Pat
