Clean and Lean

James Duigan's Clean and Lean diet and philosophy has been bandied about for a while now and I have to admit that I only ever casually skimmed the text of each article that I read on the subject.  "The Body", aka Elle Macpherson is, or was an advocate, (they are currently on different paths,) Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is closely associated and lets face it, genetics and mostly God gave RHW the advantage but after reading yet another article, "You Magazine" interviewed James and his gorgeous wife Chrissy and my interest was piqued.  Damn you Aussie's, you are so "normal", unpretentious and just like us.  I caved and ordered the latest version of the book from Amazon.

I haven't read it cover to cover just yet but I have skimmed, fervently over the "ugly-better-best" sections of the book.  I am not following 100% just yet, (I'm building,) and it's only been a couple of weeks, but probably, for the first time in my life, I'm eating but without thinking at all, or worrying about it, counting calories kilojoules or fat grams.

My shape has changed, (for the better,) and my cellulite is better, (only had a little but can still see an improvement.)  Don't think I'll see a huge improvement until I can kick the wine and Walkers Thai Sweet Chilli crisps, (which are not recommended in the book,) I'm seriously thinking about hypnosis, really I am.

I'll keep you posted but I think this could be my "diet" of choice, forever.  And when I say "diet", I mean way of eating not necessarily a way of losing weight, wouldn't say no to a few lbs though.
