  Here, in response to all the requests, is the detox programme that undid the damage Morgan Spurlock - director and star of Super Size Me - did to his body in a month of eating nothing but McDonald's. Alex Jamieson is a holistic health counsellor and personal chef. Her most famous client (and boyfriend) is Morgan Spurlock, director of the award-winning documentary film Super Size Me, in which he subjects himself to a month-long regime of eating nothing but food and drink available at McDonald's. By the end, Morgan had gained 25 pounds, developed chest pains, had dangerously high blood pressure and a 2000 per cent increase in the fat content of his liver. In addition, his life, health and libido had deteriorated. His salvation: Alex's detox diet. Within 8 weeks of changing his diet, he had lost 10 pounds and his liver function, blood pressure and cholesterol all reverted to their original levels. Alex also saw a vast change in Morgan's attitude, energy levels and clarity of mind. Filled with mouth-watering recipes, with both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, The Great American Detox is an accessible and achievable version of the diet Alex Jamieson designed specifically to bring Morgan back to health. It is a flexible 8-week programme for weight loss, energy improvement, allergy elimination and other long-term health benefits.
