I have been looking for a more holistic approach to my health this past year. I'm just tired of getting medicated for something, but never figuring out the root causer of the issue (at one point, my Rheumatologist had me on 8 different meds....yep, not for me. I stopped them all and decided to take another "HEALTHIER" route.) This book was recommended by a "doc" friend of mine. The writer has other books related to this, as well. It's pretty awesome....not full of a lot ...more
While immediately effective (I lost 4-5 lbs in the week, and I was far from perfect), I found this diet approach to be very difficult to sustain. It took a great deal of time (and money) to buy all the ingredients, cook the food, etc., etc. I did appreciate that all the ingredients were readily availalbe -- there was no sales pitch to buy the author's "special" product. I am continuing to use his recipes for "ultrashakes" in the morning sometimes -- they're tasty, no sugar...more

I only gave this book four stars b/c the writing was soooo terribly repetitious, but the information was solid. Some of this I've read before, but I found it interesting that so many things that you eat or do that are good for your metabolism are also good for the environment. In fact so much of the diet was the exact same from the Gorgeously Green book I read that I have to wonder if the author of that book got a lot of her ideas from this one.

Wow! What a great book. This was more of a cleansing - but you could defiantly stay on it longer than a week. It talks about how many toxins and inflammation from food will not only make you gain weight but other symptoms as well. (Out of the 15 listed - I had 13) I also took a test in the book regarding my body... if you scored from 51-100 your 'severely' inflamed and toxicities. Well I scored a 155! How scary is that. So after the week cleansing, I went to 3 symptoms and only a 45. (And of cou...more
This book is not about "diet" as we usually think of the term. It is about making the right food choices to move toward cleansing as a way of life. Yes, cleansing does result in losing weight as we flush toxins and the tissues that harbor them. But this book is about so much more. Anyone serious about feeling better should take a look at this book. I've already ordered some of his tapes and a cookbook...
This book truly helped me get on the healthy path that has now become my lifestyle. I still make the fruit/nut smoothie suggested in this book every morning.
Great book outlining a way to detox from toxic, inflammatory foods. Looking forward to applying the information in the next couple of weeks.
His book The Ultra Metabolism Diet is a much better diet. This book was a waste of money.
Um - so far this is SO not simple. There may be something to it; I may try it out; but it is NOT SIMPLE.

I have never been good at sticking to a diet but amazingly I stuck to this one! Once you start giving your body what it really needs it's amazing how quickly you lose your cravings for junk food. Not only is it great for your body to rid it from toxins but you will lose weight and fast! I lost 10 lbs my first week!
The key to this diet is to follow it to the letter! And don't think "I'm going to start this on Monday" and wait till Monday to open the book, you really have to pr...more

I think this man is brilliant.
Being from someone who reads a fair amount about nutrition... I had hoped for some more of the scientific detail and reasoning for his suggestions, but the plan is good and the recipes are not bad. I do feel better eating this food than junk food of course. For those who do read a lot about nutrition, note this is really a diet book. I know it's weight loss that sells and not detox, but it's really about detox. If you're interested in detox, try this!
Had some good data that I didn't have before. I would like to do the program but it scares me a little with all that you have to do.
I read this last April and lost 12 pounds in two weeks. It is time to read it again and get the winter weight off!
What to take off the menu and what to put on the menu for this 7-day diet.
