Want to know Elle Macpherson's trade secrets? Then you'd best read the Clean & Lean Diet, developed by her personal trainer and fellow Aussie, James Duigan.
The Clean & Lean Diet is exactly how it sounds, and unlike many other diet books, is gimmick free. It recommends going back to nature with pure, organic foods and cutting out the nasty stuff, such as caffeine, refined sugar (Duigan dedicates a whole section to how nasty that stuff is for your body), alcohol and processed foods.
The book, which promises "your best-ever body" is divided into two parts. The first part is dedicated to cleansing your system of the toxins that make you fat and outlining the foods and drinks that will help you lose weight and make you feel energised. The second half of the book describes the 14-day kickstart program, with a complete meal plan endorsed by nutritionist Alice Sykes, recipes to make at home and illustrated exercises.
