Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this book while researching detoxes. It's 1 of 5 that I read.
Let me start with the positive feed-back:
1. It had some really good basic food/ nutrition information
2. It has tons of recipes, that sound good, and I will definitely try the juices when I get my juicer
3. It's very easy to read, like a really good article in a magazine
The cons
1. All of the plans are rather complicated (lots of menu items each day that take time to prepare)
2. There isn't an explantation of how the menu is created, so it's not easy to modify / simplify
3. The vegan "detox" lists honey (or agave nectar) and tortilla chips as menu options - honey's not vegan, and a fried food has no place on a detox in my opinion
4. The "detoxes" at the beginning seem more like diets/ lifestyle eating: "Mediterranean Detox" is just a sample of a normal healthy mediterranean diet
5. With the combination of food allergies in my house and our mostly vegetarian lifestyle, there were no complete meals I could find to use.
Overall it's an interesting nutrition/ diet book that will aide most people in making better lifestyle choices, but for someone who is already healthy by common standards, active and a good weight, this book doesn't serve much purpose.
