Diet Signs: Eat Right for Your Star Type Book

Just when you thought you'd read everything there was to read about diet books and astrology, here's a book which combines the two. In Health Signsastrologer Claire Petulengro argues that your star sign influences the way you should diet. "Find out the needs of your star sign--and find out how to achieve your ideal weight", she promises. According to Petulengro, different star signs need different foods for a diet as their taste buds can vary quite drastically. Are you a water sign? Then cut down on your salt intake. Fire sign? You need to avoid caffeine at all costs and learn how to avoid indigestion. If you're an air sign you should eat more raw than cooked food. And meat and two vegetables should be avoided by any earth signs trying to lose weight. The book is organised according to the four astrological elements: fire, earth, air and water. Petulengro provides tailor-made advice for each group in four separate chapters. Each chapter contains a seven-day diet plan, a list of good and bad foods and lots of tempting, healthy recipes. Each chapter ends with a section called "the next step" where Petulengro gives advice on what type of exercise your star sign should follow. The importance of exercise and healthy eating and the dangers of crash diets and replacements drinks are repeatedly emphasised throughout the book. Although the premise of this book may initially seem a little wacky, the nutritional advice Petulengro gives is sound and sensible. --Scarlet HarperRead More
