DIET WATCH
WHEN THE FIRST LINE from the author reads, ‘I loathe dieting. I’m actually on a mission to end it,’ you know there’s a good chance you’re going to like what lies ahead. In the case of Louise Parker’s latest offering, Lean for Life: the Cookbook, it’s a candid admission that she spent a decade of her life trapped in the ‘tediously boring’ round of fad diets and false promises, allowing what she ate, what she didn’t eat and what she weighed to define her mood each day. No doubt a familiar story for many.
