 Why did I buy this book? Nov 20, 2009
I haven't even read it. Dang it! I can see how this might actually work. The book arrived in a timely manner and in good condition. It is a hardcover book and the text is a nice font. I guess I can't really review the content unless I read it!

 The First Detox/Diet I have ever "Stuck With" Aug 27, 2009
This is the first detox/diet that I have ever persistently and consistently maintained this long. I am at day 8 of my diet and I'm exhausted. A lot of testimonials mention more energy and feeling great - I don't feel great (yet#. I feel tired, I have heartburn often, my mind is slow, and I'm moody. I also find that I need more sleep #at least extra hour than usual#. The caffeine withdrawal lasted a painful #headaches) three days. I'm following the diet to the T (with the uncomfortable extras like colonics/scrubbing/no deodorant almost as closely#, and I've lots 12 pounds so far #from 196lbs to 184lbs). I'm really glad about losing the weight and the instant results. My clothes are loose, my complexion is clearing nicely, my dandruff is gone, my ankles and feet have shrunk down, and my belly is noticably much smaller than it was. I'm going to stick with this plan for the remaining 14 days, and I'm hoping, hoping, hoping that it will get easier.
The book is not particularly well written - I read it cover to cover and still didn't quite understand where and how to begin. There's lots of "talk" about supplements but not much to guide what to get and where. I didn't purchase anything from the website - I went to my local natural foods grocery store. I buy mostly organic vegetables and I've noticed an incredible taste and quality difference to when I chince and buy regular grocery store produce. Since I already had a juicer (though I had to brush off the dust), the cost for this diet has been about $[...] for me so far. I'll probably spend another $[...] on vegetables throughout the remaining weeks.
The funniest thing about the diet so far has been my dreams: I keep dreaming about food! In my dreams I am cheating on the diet to eat eggs and toast and chocolate, and they're so delectable and fulfilling in those moments of dreamy delirium. Though I haven't "cheated" at all, I have juiced larger quantities of vegetables (about 2 cups instead of the 1) when I'm hungry and eaten larger quantities of the soups (a second serving later in the evening) to help with my heartburn. It's been very important to have support as I'm making this lifestyle change so it's nice that my girlfriend has been trying the juices and eating the soups with me at dinner (although she adds salt and cheese and crackers). It has been more important that I was emotionally and mentally ready to commit to the plan.
My overall review: diets are SUCH a personal thing - what works for me just may not work for you, what is torture for me may not be torture for you at all! I suggest you borrow this book from the library before spending your money and committi

 I Really Wanted to Believe This -- But It Is A Waste of Money Aug 22, 2009
I am a perfectly healthy woman with some pounds to lose. I heard Robin Quivers, read a bunch of reviews, talked to my husband (who has no weight to lose, just wanted to feel as great as this book promises), bought the book. We spent nearly $1,500 to execute everything in this book: (1) buy the book (2) buy the supplements and herbs (3) buy all the "other" stuff such as colonics, chi machine, lymphatic massages, enemas, organic everything, juicer, etc., etc. etc. We also spent a lot of time researching and locating all this stuff so we could execute it perfectly. In summary, it is very difficult. We are both working people and the whole thing about eating and taking supplements like clockwork does not always work when you have to be on an airplane or giving a seminar to 300 people. We had colonics (not a big deal -- don't be scared of those.) We did manage to do it perfectly for 5 days, at which time I had to stop because all the supplements and herbs gave me an irregular heartbeat. Mind you, I had a physical before beginning and consulted doctor on day 5 who directed that I stop immediately as irregular heartbeat can be dangerous. (I NEVER had a problem with my heart or anything else ever before.) Sure enough, heart settled down just fine within a couple days of stopping all this nonsense. In hindsight, I think this is the most nonsensical, expensive, user-unfriendly, time-wasting program ever written. Also, as the other reviewers have said, the author appears to have just disappeared and offers no advice or fixes when her millions of readers cannot even understand the conflicting directions in her book. By the way, in the 5 days I was on this program, I lost 8 1/2 pounds. After a week of normal eating later, every pound was back on. This does not work and is just silly.

I tried it and it worked! Jul 22, 2009
I had a baby 16 months ago and had a hard time losing the last 12 pounds of my pregnancy. I gain 70 pounds during pregnancy and because I am very active was able to loose all of it within 2 or 3 month but had a hard time losing the final 12lbs. So I decided to read the book and try the diet. I lose 1 to 2 pounds a day and had to stop at day 14 because I already lost 16lbs in 14 days and did not want to get any smaller! I did not do the enemas, or colonics but I did everything else. I reall works, when my mom say me she could not believe that I lose all that weight in 14 days. My hair looked better and my skin looked great! I use to wear foundation everyday and stoped using it after detoxing. It has changed the way I view food and I plan to detox once or twice a year now. I am buying more organic food and feel much, much better and calmer. It works! Now my sister is going to try it! It is not easy but it is worth the effort!
