Review Summary: A real kickstart to a healthy lifestyle
Review: I followed it to the letter and lost 8lb in 7 days (I was 1.5st overweight, but otherwise fit). It required v little willpower. I didn't even crave chocolate (and I was a 2-3 bar per day girl before) and it has definately unhooked me from my unhealthy eating habits (sugar, salt, caffeine, comfort food) and given me the boost I needed.
The plan requires organisation and the ability to wash up lots (the juicer and blender) as you are making juices up to 5 times per day! Once you're in the swing of it, the juices are quick and will probably save you time compared to regular cooking.
I did feel hungry and light headed at times, despite the calorie intake, but then I am running around after 2 small children all day and rarely sit down. I also has loads of itchy "detox" spots (v unusual for me to even have 1!). The turbo plan that follows seems easier and I have felt my energy levels returning, the spots are going too.
If you are serious about doing this, then get the CD - it really helps if you get half way thro and want to give it all up (pretty normal on any plan!)

Review Summary: Effective but expensive endurance test
Review: I really didn't like the style this book was written in. It's evangelical, repetitive and irritatingly patronising. I also hated everything being described as juicy all the time - I know it's a juice book but it got on my nerves after the tenth page. The author markets his other products in the book - the marketing is excellent and you have a huge range of products and media to choose from if you feel you need it. Personally the book was enough for me.
As for the diet it's expensive as you need a lot of fruit, supplements, a blender and a juicer but if you are planning to make a lifestyle change then it's an investment. I normally like juices but I didn't enjoy many of these recipes much, although I did get used to them. I had to cut down the supplements as they made me so nauseous and I didn't have any extra energy - quite the opposite - which was annoying as that's why I did this in the first place. Also I was hungry for most of the time, again contrary to the book. However I did lose more than 7lbs and so I think it is effective for weight loss. Note that you are instructed to weigh yourself the evening before you start and the morning after you finish the diet. As you always weigh less in the morning I think this is a bit of a trick to make you think you've lost more than you have. Also in order to maintain this weight loss you should then go on to the following regime in his next book......as I said, his marketing is excellent.

Review Summary: Awful !!
Review: This diet is my idea of torture, I happily read the blurb and was even excited at the prospect of diet, and unfortunately this was short lived.
The first juice resembled a dark green colour, has the most awful smell, stagnant pond water is an apt description.
About half way through consuming this juice, I threw it up.
I did persevere, but most of the juices are disgusting.
Don't bother wasting your money on this book.

Review Summary: Easy, Simple, Healthy
Review: I bought this book on a whim as I've only a small bit of weight to lose, but I travel quite a lot so I was interested in the detox aspect of it as well. Every body needs a tune up now and then and this is a great way to do it. If you're looking to shed a few pounds or give your system a boost, I highly recommend this book. I felt more energized, slept better, had healthier skin and was in higher spirits than usual after following this program, it's fantastic.
If you are planning to follow a juice program I very highly suggest you purchase the Phillips aluminum juicer, I love it and use it constantly. Combine a great juicer with some tasty recipes and you'll be hooked as well

Review Summary: effective, if expensive
Review: Without doubt the most effective way to lose weight fast - in 10 days I have gone down a dress size; haven't once craved chocolate or tea/coffee. Radical - definitely sticking with it for a few more weeks. I didn't particularly like the writing style and lack of index makes it difficult to go back and quickly find the bit I wanted to re-read. Bought it with the Amanda Hamilton book Life Detox and found the combination of the two really helpful for making this a life change and not just a one off.
But these things do not detract from this being a good buy. My main gripe is the cost of all the powders and extras like Wheatgrass, Spirulina etc. Thought might be cheaper via their website but out of stock for the small sizes and still 50 quid, the set for this book is 80 quid. So be prepared.
Despite this highly recommended.
