 Awesome book! January 18, 2008

This book was great. As a first time faster, it gave me tons of information on the process of fasting as well as lots and lots of recipes. The recipes include items you can find in any grocery store, and the juices are relatively easy to make and are delicious. I was very pleased with this book, and got an extra copy for family.

I got into juicing about 12 years ago when I was working the night shift at a grocery store. Most of my fellow employess were all hooked on caffeine and sugar trying to keep themselves awake for that shift. I wanted to do something that would not only keep my energy levels high but I also didn't want to "crash" when I finally did go to sleep.
So I began juicing. At first, it was primarily carrot juice. I drank about maybe 3-4 cups of fresh carrot juice a day and I noticed the benefits of it right away. I always tried to maintain a healthy lifestyle, anyway, but juicing really seemed to give me that something "extra" that I was looking for.
Then I got this book and I began follwing some of her recipes as well as inventing a few of my own. My favorite "concoction" is something I call the Zest Fest:
5 medium carrots
6 cherry tomatoes
2 stalks celery
1/2 red bell pepper
1/2 cucumber
1 small piece of ginger
2 garlic cloves
Sliver of onion
Sliver of lemon
1/2 shot of white vinegar
1/2 shot worsteshire sauce
A few shakes of your favorite hotsauce
Salt & Pepper
Juice all the vegetables, add the condiments, mix well in a glass jar with a lid, drink and enjoy! This little potion of mine has warded off several types of the flu as well as other common ailments and gives me a sense of vibrancy and vitality all throughout the day. Of course, my skin is bright orange now and I can see through walls, but so what?
=)
The benefits of fresh juicing are incredible and this book goes into great detail what those benefits are. If you are sick and tired of being sick and tired, get a juicer, get this book, raid the produce stand, and make your health and your well-being top priority.

Be careful if you take this book into the kitchen. It is printed on the cheapest of papers and tears and damages easily if it gets wet. The recipes are o.k.; the information is o.k., although conflicts with some information in her Coconut Diet book, but nothing very interesting or inspirational is shared.
 Missing Information August 9, 2006

I bought this book to add juice to my diet as well as for a juice fast to detox. However, this book is missing important information on this topic. This book is very helpful for ADDING more juice to your diet, but it doesn't cover the necessary information on a strict juice diet commonly used for cleansing (detoxing), illness, and weight loss.
A pure juice diet (fast) requires an introduction phase and a tapering off phase, neither which are covered. It also does not mention the effects of a juice fast, which can include fatigue-like symptoms, skin flare-ups, etc as the body detoxes, as well as the need for large quantities of water for juice fasting.
It would also be helpful to have a table of reference of the nutrients found in fruits and vegetables. What nutrients does a cantaloupe have? You have to check out beneficial juices under specific illnesses to find out cantaloupe's nutrients.
It is basically the same handful of recipes over and over. The authors missed a great opportunity to fully educate on what one should know if juicing is used for the purpose of detox, weight loss or illness. I hope the next printing is updated with this additional information.
