Juice Yourself Slim

I've been inching my way into juicing for quite some time. I've watched documentaries on Gerson Therapy, read books like 21 Pounds in 21 Days. So I bought a juicer and off I went attempting to juice whatever I was told to juice....it was disgusting. All I can say is the juices were awful to taste. So I said bye bye to that idea. Then I see this documentary on Netflix called, "Hungry For Change", very appropriate. I heard one thing in the documentary that changed my entire perspective on eating. It goes something like, if you were to consume coca leaves you wouldn't get anywhere near the stimulation you get from cocaine. Cocaine is a product that is produced by chemically altering the coca leaf. The foods we consume everyday have gone through similar processes to chemically alter them and change them into something that is completely foreign to our bodies and THIS is what's responsible for the degenerative disease we suffer and obesity. These are food products that have been pharmaceuticly manufactured they are in fact closer to drugs than food. They are narcotics that soothe and satiate our hunger but give us none of the nutrients our body needs to operate.That changed my paradigm on eating. I immediately downloaded Jason's book to my phone and started reading. It's packed with information and testimonials. If you live in the U.S. there's a bit of a language curve, since Jason's from the UK. I had to look up a few words to determine what the heck they were talking about. For example:"I lost 5 stone on Jason's plan" a stone is a unit of measurement and is equal to about 14 lbs.Courgette - Never heard of this where do I buy courgettes? Turns out a courgette is the UK's name for zucchini...oh!!Rocket - Adding rockets to my salad? Rocket is the UK name for ArugulaSpring Oninos - Green OnionsWhen you see these in the book don't run off to Whole Foods combing the produce section, it's no big deal.When I started the plan I was charged but here's the exciting thing. As he explains THIS ISN'T A DIET! I've tried a lot of diets from Atkins to Master Cleanse. They all have somethings in common,1.You feel awful - diets are just deprivation. All diets require you to monitor your portions and simply eat less. This doesn't, I can literally have as much as I want. So I'm never hungry. I'll say it again. I'm NEVER hungry. That alone is liberating.2.All diets are temporary, there is this "do this until..." methodology written into diets. With Jason's approach you're INCORPORATING not depriving. By doing that I can easily give up the stuff that's bad for meThe most important thing however, the reason I wrote this review is EVERYTHING TASTES SO GOOD. I've found that most diet books are written by doctors, people in the health or fitness industry. There attitude is, "It's good for you so eat it" It reminds me of that scene in Rocky where he's swallowing a pitcher of raw eggs. Jason is a guy who was overweight, a smoker and he doesn't neglect to consider that our food needs to taste good. I am quickly becoming a smoothie master, I'll never buy another smoothie again. The one's I make at home are delicious with no sugars added! There's one smoothie that has beets,lime,pineapple, and avocado. It's the best thing I've ever tasted. He also has an number of soups and salads. GOOD STUFF. My wife who hates to diet is loving this plan. She told me recently, she was out and had a salad and she put ranch dressing on it. She said, "the ranch dressing was salty". In a short period of time our palettes have begun to reject the stuff that's bad for us!!! I don't know where to begin when it comes to energy!!! I stopped snoring, I'm usually sore for a couple of days after a workout, recovery is half that now. I had pain in my knees (probably early arthritis)it's gone now. I now wake up at 5 every morning feeling completely rested, I used to snooze 3 times then get up. Long story short, this book has changed my life and I'll never go back to eating the way I used to or dieting the way I used to. My next thing is to learn more about raw foods eating. Thanks Jason oustanding book!!!

This is what I was looking for ! It has juices, smoothies and soups . A good variety to add to your healthy eating routine and can adapt the daily recipes for what goes together as your health improves . I have gastroparesis so these recipes help me get the nutrients I need . I just have to cut them down to 8 oz servings and start my day with dinner and work backwards so I actually end with a juice. Like Jason says “ if you don’t eat them (veggies and fruits) why not drink them”. That is the ONLY way I can ingest them .

It does what it claims. I really lost the weight that I had put by moving in southern Italy (good cuisine here!). The program is really well balanced and you will eat not just juices but also soups and salads.useful info:-you must own a juicer AND a blender-you will eat most of your time juices and smooties-it is quite expensive-I got really cold for doing this and I was really hungry-It is time consuming and you will go around for a week with your juice flaskshappy juicing

Such helpful and encouraging information for getting healthier through making juicing part of our daily lives. Improving your health with healthy juices instead of so many medications. Jason explains why we need to take control of our health through what nature offers us. A good read.

Loved the explanations for each recipe. Lots to choose from and the recipes are simple. He packed a lot into this.Recommend this book.

I chose this book over the other juicing plans as it allows healthy soups, smoothies, and salads. I followed the plan for one week and lost 8 pounds. I now incorporate as much as I can into my daily life. I have been so excited about it, that my daughter and one of my friends bought juicers, and we are all healthier and happier.

Great book from Jason. It's no nonsense, no excuse approach is refreshing. It's a good read, funny, down to earth and really informative. I've been dabbling in raw food for a while but sometimes it can get very complex. Good to have a book that keeps things simple. Would highly recommend it to anyone starting out up to those who know their stuff.

It is amazing - the health benefits - AMAZING!When I read about what Juicing can do for you, I didn't truly know it until my first glass. Then, all I could do was to share my happiness with my associates. Either they have gone out to buy a new juicer or dust off one in a closet. We are all a very cheary group of friends now!!! I love my new healthy way of life!

Jason has done it again....This book is just superb .....Full of delicious easy to follow recipes....& not only do you know you are receiving the nutrition your body needs ...but feel so healthy & lose weight !!!!!!! Do yourself & your body a huge favour .....Buy & follow this book ....Great healthy food never tasted soooooooooo Amazing ..Just love it ....Thank you once again Jason ....

I ordered this as an 'used book' - it's in perfect condition!This is the 3rd Jason Vale book I've read and it's brilliant!His style of writing is easy to understand - i would recommend to anyone!

Just received it to go with my new juicer....looks good so far..had first juice from the book this morning...and it certainly was delicious.... Book sorts juices into categorized for sleep, energy boosting detox etc. happy so far.

Loved the recipes. It didn't work as a slimming solution for me (I am at the top of normal range) but great for recipes. All fruit and veg have great healing properties.Swap your shop bought juices for home made ones. Your health will benefit althought you might not feel it, goodness happens in the mitochondria...Great for healing the gut too.

I ordered this book and it arrived very quickly. The recipes are easy to follow from what i can see. I work shifts, and sometimes there just isn't time at work to eat - i work for the NHS!! So i think juicing will be the way to go for me. Plus i need to lose weight, and juicing will save all the hassle of deciding what to eat lol......
