.An Appeal to Reason: A Cool Look at Global Warming by: Nigel Lawson April 10, 2008 This is a wonderful book.

Rules include: no alcohol; no sugar, no dairy products. He takes a `if it isn't hurting, it isn't working' approach. It worked. He lost 12 inches off his waist-line and five stones in under a year. But the fast (too fast?) weight-loss took its toll. His skin hung loose on his body. Some of the recipies ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on The Nigel Lawson Diet Book |
