Writer, John Nicholson, defined himself by healthy eating, or so he thought. It was the one thing that was definably, unshakeably him throughout half a century. However, for 26 years John Nicholson was ill; tormented year after year by apparently untreatable IBS and a myriad of other afflictions. In despair, he turned to meat. The results were spectacular. 24 hours after eating meat, he was better. After 48 hours he was totally well. The Meat Fix details John Nicholson's remarkable transformation with the characteristic wit and humour that saw his We Ate All the Pies nominated for the 2010 William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award.
