watched e1 and i'm surprised that 12 days of eating healthy can literally bring people who are at risk to normal again. although they must continue this lifestyle to stay healthy. and to be honest, before watching this i didn't understand why people would chose a burger over the other option. and i'm very surprised that some still did that.
raw vegetables are disgusting, i get that, but you can make delicious stuff while cooking them. all in all, the message is good and i hope they changed those peoples life.
Wow! I must say! I watch documentaries, somewhat constantly, and I'm pretty picky about where I use my time in this area. But I just have to comment, this little series thoroughly entertained, as well as educated me! I actually laughed out loud on several occasions! Plus I love love loved the science behind the experiments! Being a health coach, I was rather surprised by some of their results too. I do have to note, some of their studies have room for improvement, but nevertheless, definitely happy with these! I want more!
-- I've also developed a small obsession with british accents now... it's terrible! Some weird monster that I had no idea existed, has just been released inside me. LOL.
Yes, this is amusing.
I used to really enjoy another British show called "You Are What You Eat".
People shouldn't dive into the raw veggies too quickly because they can be extremely hard on some people's systems.
I learned the hard way that my liver couldn't process raw veggies, citric acid, and sadly, wine.
Oh no Red, not the wine too. :(
I gave it a down-tick, not because I disagree with your post, but because I don't like you suffering mate.
Don't cry for me, Argentina!
It's certain foods I miss more than the wine!
Watched 120 minutes so far, quite amusing and with interesting science experiments, well worth the time.
