Here is the vegan 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. By the end of the month, 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: a detox diet devised by his girlfriend, Alex Jamieson, who is a holistic health counsellor and personal chef. 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.
