I checked this book out at the library after hearing so much about the benefits of eating a raw food diet. I followed the detox plan to a tee and definitely felt better after completing the process. Now, I try to eat at least one meal a day that consists only of raw foods. I feel better than I have in years! I have lost a few pounds, my complexion looks better, and I have more energy and stamina. There are some negatives about the detox process. If you are a caffeine drinker, expect some serious headaches! Also, I felt exhausted the second and third days of the detox, probably because my body was cleansing itself and using more energy as a result. Overall, this book can get you on the right path to a healthier way of life. I highly recommend this book to those interested in incorporating raw food meals into their diet.
