A real kickstart to a healthy lifestyle - By: I. Horswell, 15 Oct 2008 
I followed it to the letter & lost 8lbin 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) & it has definately unhooked me from my unhealthy eating habits (sugar, salt, caffeine, comfort food) & given me the boost I needed.
The plan requires organisation & the ability to wash up lots (the juicer & blender) as you are making juices up to 5 times per day! Once you'rein the swing of it, the juices are quick & will probably save you time compared to regular cooking.
I did feel hungry & light headed at times, despite the calorie intake, but then I am running around after 2 small children all day & 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 & 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 & want to give it all up (pretty normal on any plan!)
Effective but expensive endurance test - By: SG, 08 Sep 2008 
I really didn't like the style this book was written in. It's evangelical, repetitive & 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 productsin the book - the marketing is excellent & you have a huge range of products & 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 & 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 & I didn't have any extra energy - quite the opposite - which was annoying as that's why I did thisin the first place. Also I was hungry for most of the time, again contrary to the book. However I did lose more than 7lbs & so I think it is effective for weight loss. Note that you are instructed to weigh yourself the evening before you start & the morning after you finish the diet. As you always weigh lessin the morning I think this is a bit of a trick to make you think you've lost more than you have. Alsoin order to maintain this weight loss you should then go on to the following regimein his next book......as I said, his marketing is excellent.
Awful !! - By: Ms. La Foley, 09 Aug 2008 
This diet is my idea of torture, I happily read the blurb & was even excited at the prospect of diet, & 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.
Easy, Simple, Healthy - By: S. Ives, 03 Jun 2008 
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 interestedin the detox aspect of it as well. Every body needs a tune up now & then & 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 & wasin 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 & use it constantly. Combine a great juicer with some tasty recipes & you'll be hooked as well
effective, if expensive - By: Avid Reader, 29 May 2008 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 & lack of index makes it difficult to go back & quickly find the bit I wanted to re-read. Bought it with the Amanda Hamilton book Life Detox & found the combination of the two really helpful for making this a life change & 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 & extras like Wheatgrass, Spirulina etc. Thought might be cheaper via their website but out of stock for the small sizes & still 50 quid, the set for this book is 80 quid. So be prepared.
Despite this highly recommended.
