It's a good book to read, but not so good. The book explains only the basic and general tips on weight loss.
Ummm i lost 5 pounds in 5 days and wasn't even hungry. Not a joke. I haven't lost weight like that aside from a stomach virus EVER.
I thought there were some great smoothie recipes, but the other recipes are like "Better Homes and Gardens"-ish.
I do have two issues with this book. First, I am so sick of diet books that start with diet-bashing and then offer up a diet of their own. Yes, diets don't achieve results long-term, and they are expensive and time-consuming to maintain, and inconvenient, and the research says for these reasons and more that diets don't work. And the answer to this problem is . . . "The Body Reset ...more

I love fhe apple pie smoothie i always have a smoothie for breakfast now ...
I drink alot of smoothies and found the smoothie recipes in this book to be really good tasting and satisfying (I also liked the alternative protein suggestions - I don't love protein powder, but I don't mind using the greek yogurt - which also gives the smoothie a great texture).
I didn't think the 'regular' meal recipes looked all that good, and I actually am not interested in following the plan, which includes starting for 5 days with smoothies for all 3 meals - but I thought it was an ...more
Excellent Lifestyle that Sooo Works!!!
My DH (Darling Husband) and I read the book and began our 15-day reset...well...15 days ago, and we are amazed at the results! Not only did we both lose major pounds (17 for the DH), but we feel fantastic!
This is the first lifestyle change I've ever made and NEVER felt hungry, anxious, or uncomfortable. I feel terrific and am thrilled we're now living a Harley-lifestyle!!!
Thanks sooo much, Harley!!! U rock!!!

Simple easy to follow plan with some really delicious smoothies. The apple pie and red smoothie are 2 of my new favorites!
I didn't follow it strictly - more to get ideas of a better way to balance whole foods, including carbs and protein. I do like that he recommends protein with every meal, including snacks and provides some actually do-able options.

The most sensible approach to leading a healthy lifestyle that I've seen in a long time. Pasternak focuses on good eating habits--healthy protein and fiber--from fruit and vegetables-- combined with a small amount of healthy fat--and leading an active life. The exercises are easy to do and Pasternak recommends walking as much as possible.

I'm a harsh critic of diet/recipe books but i had higher hopes for this than i should have. I strongly disliked the constant plugging of vitamin water zero, kraft cheese, and other specific brand named items that are known among the health community to be generally bad for all human bodies. The smoothie recipes are great, the encouragement to walk more and train less is appreciated, but the rest i could do without.
Id give this book a 4.5 ive been reading heaps of diet books lately obviously to love weight and i didnt think this would be a good one as it dosnt have puctures of delicious food and what not and wasnt to big but i got alot of information and knowledge from this book and loved it
I have already recommended it to others. I have not been hungry during the days so far of doing this diet whitch is surprising cause 3 shakes and 2 snacks a day dont seem like much but it has been

Great book, I was trying to find away to help kick start my metabolism, as it has died kids and now age 😜
I'm on day 8. I loving the smoothie recipes. I'm not hungry and not forcing myself to drink them. 5 meals a day and 10k step's 😊 I'm down 2.3kg (5.07lbs) it's so easy to follow, with items that easy to get are affordable.

I feel confident in starting the diet
The information was good, presented in an easy to digest way. I enjoyed this book and am eager to see if it can grant me the results I want from the effort I put into it. We shall see.

Very sensible approach to eating healthy throughout your life. The recipes I've tried have been excellent. I do wish he had more information on creating/adapting your own recipes to his carb/protein equation.
Read it. Liked the concept. Think it's manageable. Afraid to only drink shakes for 5 days. I will try it soon!!
So much exciting info!!
Loved this book has such great info and it all makes so much more sense!! I took great notes, wrote a grocery list and can't wait to start!!

I was skeptical when I first started reading Harley's book, but after following phases 1-3 and beyond, I can say that it provided an easy and enjoyable way to change my eating and exercise lifestyle. I can honestly say I no longer crave my unhealthy snacks and look forward to exercising - thank you, Harley!

I found some of these smoothie recipes online a few months ago and had been using them a couple times a week with a workout/healthy eating program I was doing. I am not looking for a diet and have never had a weight problem, but I figured that since I was borrowing the recipes, I might as well read the philosophy behind the diet as well. I actually like the idea of this program. I get so sick of trying to make healthy changes only to have someone tell me I am still eating too much sugar in fruit

Recommends it for:
People looking to establish a habitual eating habit
Yet another diet book for people who have nothing to do other than manage their food intake. Don't waste your precious time unless you have an abundance of it to throw into this plan. This is a lifestyle guide, not a diet or a limited time engagement recommendation. If that appeals to you, then it's got a lot of great information in it. But...if you're not paid or obsessive about body health and fitness, this book dictates a commitment that's likely far outside your reach.

I'd say this was one of the better diet books I've read. His approach is simple, and seems to be both healthy and effective. Thank heaven here's a book that basically stresses the importance of eating fruits and veggies, while at the same time not buying into the fads of low fat, low carb, or high protein. I think he's right that we need a balanced combination of the macronutrients, and his smoothies also make sure the person eating them is getting plenty of micronutrients as well. For the

I wanted something to reset my diet after the holidays, and this was a great pick! I did it for five days - had protein/fruit smoothies for breakfast and dinner (I modified it by having a salad for lunch instead of a third smoothie). I was really hungry the whole time, but I felt like it was a good cleanse and set me back on track for healthy eating. I don't think I could have done it the recommended fifteen days, though - five was plenty!
I marked a couple of smoothie recipes but skimmed through the rest as it found it pretty much like other books I've read on dieting. Actually wish it hadn't been called a diet as there were a couple good concepts but nothing really unique about it except the concept of using your blender to do the work which I really would have liked had I just not bought a juicer! I should have read this last year when I first bought it.

Blend your way to better health and weight loss.
Totally new to this smoothie thing. The texture is kinda weird and I can't use Greek yogurt; think I might be allergic to flaxseed . . . As far as energy, it hasn't helped at all, but the scale keeps going down, now ever so slowly, so I guess I'll hang in for the 15 days.
I'm not the target audience and I've modified it a bit since I don't want to lose weight. However Harley's recipe's are simple and easy and his explanations make sense. I can see myself continuing with this for a long time.
I found this book helpful in understanding that every meal should have fiber, fat, and protein. Has a simple daily at home exercise plan targeted at the person who works a desk job. I took bits of this book and worked it into a paleo based ketogenic diet.
Great book with delicious smoothie recipes and a realistic approach to weight loss. Big fan of Harley's Five Factor Fitness.
