Attractive girl

Yes, in a simple and healthy way...
You know, she was not a beauty, but but the whole image you get from her is quite pleasant: white teeth, pretty smile, bright eyes and shiny hair. (Does one get so with the S. B. Diet?)

I know I won't become one of its dieters, that's for sure. But I guess one would get so, if they tried really hard:)
This is actually from that other book 'Blindsighted'. Haha Imagine that sentence next to a recipe , saying eating this soybean will make you beautiful in a plain and wholesome way...
Thank you pieanne

I sure would need some kind of diet before summer begins...
But you wouldn't advise me to choose that one? (assuming I muster the courage to start one...

No, don't get me wrong. But, this diet is to me similar to that diet in the so called zone. It's a life style. In the introductory part the author says that his diet is different than others, like, you won't be deprived of the food you love, your meals will be substantial, etc. But when you take a look at the list of the items that you are not allowed to eat it discourages you. But I gues

Hi Antonia,

A minot hair-splitting point;

"different than others " should be "different FROM others."

Quite right - I know exactly what I should and shouldn't do - but invariably do the shouldn'ts!

Thanks Abbie,

I'm Monty Phyton's fan, too..I simply love Michael Pallin in the role of Cardinal R(something, I'm not sure about the spelling)
Cheers!

Hi guys. It's always good to talk about food stuff, I love it! Keep it going. And dear Abbie, I know that you British do not consider the American dialect as a standard one, and I'm myself trying to follow up the British English rules as far as I can, but I'd like to add this comment. "Differ than" is acceptable in American English along with "different from".
Cheers,

Oops! Sorry - actually didn't realise that. thanks.
