I recently met up with the fantastic Dr Howard Murad (the dermatologist behind the Murad skincare line), who was in London to promote his new book and diet programme.
Howard has joined forces with nutrition specialists Soulmatefood to bring out the Inclusive Health Menu (£35 per day from www.soulmatelifestyle.com). Based on principles from his new book The Water Secret: The Cellular Breakthrough to Look and Feel 10 Years Younger (www.amazon.co.uk out on 1st September), the diet consists of foods that are high in water. According to Howard, ‘eating your water’ will hydrate cells and connective tissues on the inside leading to plumper, smoother and more youthful skin on the outside.
The daily home delivery service includes water rich meals - so plenty of raw fruits, vegetables, wholegrains, proteins as well as supplements. Testers have noticed a remarkable 78 per cent reduction in cellulite after following the plan for eight weeks.
I tried the diet for three days, and while it wasn’t really long enough to notice a difference, I did feel more energetic and fuller for longer.
