 Not enough details on how much of what to use. January 24, 2010
The Consumer Advocate (OK USA)
There are not enough details in this book on how to actually go about juicing as a way to get healthy. The novice juicer will not get a clue from this book on how much of each ingredient to use to make the juices palatable and effective.
Very informative book on detox with juicing January 17, 2010
R. Koo (Los Angeles, CA)
What I love most about this book, other than the cornucopia of juicing recipes and suggestions, is that it is informative without being preachy. The author simply provides the necessary info and instructions for even a beginner to start juicing - kind of like sticking your toes into the water before jumping in. Costing under $10 on Amazon, it's definitely a handy little reference to have in the kitchen.
Fasting at Your Own Pace November 17, 2009
Lisa Riley (Boulder, Colorado)
An easy read, Meyerowitz provides a general understanding and explanation of water, juice, liquitarianism, breatharianism fasting. The benefits of each and suggested lengths for fasting. This allows the reader to fast at a rate and with the method (such as drinking only water during the fast vs drinking highly nutritional juices during the fast for example)that is comfortable to them. Although the author considers water fasting the "true fast", he presents options for readers who may not feel comfortable with ingesting only water during their fasting time.
I am a raw foodist and have fasted many times. I refer to my usual fast as a juice "feast" as I drink green juices throughout the fasting period and at a level of comfort knowing that I am nutritionally fed. That "feast" normally runs between 7 and 21 days depending on the season and my tasks at hand. I do however fast for shorter 3-7 day periods drinking only water. The water fast does as Meyerowitz guides, require some scheduling, quiet, lower activity and compassion for one's process of detoxification that occurs.
This book is probably not as appropriately titled as it could be as it reads more about different cleasing options in fasting as well as the benefits of "juicing", colon therapy, and the accessibility of high quality methods of extracting nutrition from vegetables and fruits with juice extraction machines.
I thought the author did a solid job of presenting the basics of cleansing and detoxification. This is not the book for someone who desires an indepth study or discussion of any one of these areas. This book is a quick educational guide for the fasting novice and a confirmation of alternative options available to the experienced fast participant.
The book's main strength is the clarification and offering of considerations that the reader can pick and choose to make that fasting period effective, beneficial and comfortable to them. With varied lifestyle demands, any reader can find at least one of these methods that will fit their schedule and pace demands.
As always in health, take it slowly, learn about your body and allow your fasting regimen to evolve at a pace that is beneficial, cleansing and compassionate to your entire wellness.
 Fabulous read! October 25, 2009
Staci Goldsberry (Utah)
This book has all the information you need to start either a juice fast or a water fast. Usually when I fast, I dont tell anyone because most people dont understand and just tell me how crazy I am. This author made so many good and healthy points on fasting, now I can repeat them to people when they ridicule me for fasting. This book gave fabulous reasons on why to fast and for how long. Also, at what points in the fast your body goes through different changes. It tells you exactly what to expect. The author also told in great detail how to come off a fast the proper way. If you have been thinking of fasting but were afraid, PLEASE read this book! Oh, I also LOVED the juice machine reviews at the end. I havent bought a juicer, I have always been a water faster, but now after reading specific details about juicers, I am ready to purchase a juicer and start juicing my own vegetables!
 juice fasting & detox September 14, 2009
M. Asbell (Jacksonville, FL)
useful & informative, though not really what i was looking for...no juicing combos, per se...more of a reading from the holistic approach...the books offers tons of encouragement for fasting & detoxing...i find the juice/food color "healing properties" information priceless...
