The Reboot with Joe Juice Diet: Lose Weight, Get Healthy and Feel Amazing
S**R
NEVER THOUGHT I'D JUICE!
I tried juicing in the past and felt dizzy and weak; got headaches and really didn't feel any benefit. Plus, I HATE anything green juiced. I had a friend really into green juicing and just a taste of her special juices made my whole body cringe. I also HATE coconut water so was very skeptical about having to drink that every day. I'm a senior citizen, so changing my tastes at this point were going to be a challenge. However, Joe's video was very inspiring and I needed to get in better shape. So I ordered the book and asked for a juicer for Mother's Day which my son bought for me on Amazon as well. I wrote a review for the juicer as well from my very novice stand point.Well, I decided to try to five-day Reboot because if I wasn't going to feel good the first three days, I sure wanted to see if there was any following benefits for the trip through healthy purgatory. Plus, I didn't want to commit to too much.Surprisingly, I found some of the juices much more tastier than I thought they'd be; and some were so good, I'd drink them even if not on a Reboot or a quest to lose weight. BUT, the first green juice was almost my undoing as was the coconut water. I gagged my way through them both the first day and then tried some different green juices I hated less for subsequent days and added fruit juices, as suggested in the book, to my coconut water.I eventually found some green juice favorites that I didn't hate at all and I really enjoyed some of the other juice colors. The coconut juice, even with juice, never became anything I liked and I had to change to other electrolyte containing liquids for fear I'd skip it altogether. You'll find your favorite juices and will love...or at least like them.Also, the plan developed a bit differently for me. I felt wonderful the first three days, then, on day four, I started feeling the symptoms that most people describe for the first three days. These lasted for a couple of days so I continued the juicing plan beyond five days to get past them. I transitioned out well and now eat a healthy vegan breakfast, juice twice a day making sure one juice is green (Can you believe it?); and switch between eating a plant-based dinner and a protein shake for dinner with two days a week treating myself to some quality organic meat with my husband.I had 40 pounds overall to lose and didn't have the big losses some of the users had, but I did lose eight pounds and am continuing to lose more slowly about a pound every three days. I may try another Reboot down the road, but I'm comfortable at this time.The book is a fabulous guide that answers a lot of questions I had. I don't think I would have ever stayed with juicing without it. The recipes are varied and the suggested substitutions are a life saver. I tried every recipe in the book and rated them on my own scale, bookmarking the ones I really lovedIf I had to have a negative -- it wouldn't be for the book, juicing or this program, it'd be for the constant washing of the juicer :) May I suggest wearing gloves as to not have chapped hands

Happier, healthier and a whole lot wiser about food
This book will change your life--if you follow its advice. My son sent me a link to Joe Cross' movie, "Fat, Sick, & Nearly Dead." I watched and quickly found myself researching Joe Cross--and the doctor that monitored his 60-day juicing journey (Joel Fuhrman, M.D., who's book, "Eat for Health," I also purchased). Needless to say, ninety days later, both my husband and I have lost weight, are healthier, and feel amazing--just as the subtitle of the book promises.If you have seen the video (Fat, Sick, & Nearly Dead) you will find much of the book familiar. This reinforces the message of changing the way you eat to change your health, and is a good refresher. The book is well-researched, and provides good information about food, diets and common habits that lead to disease. It also provides easy and practical advice--and recipes--on how to juice, how to stick with it, and how to transition back to solid food. As the title of chapter 1 proclaims: Juicing is "a wy to live, not a way to diet."Plans include reboots for 3 days to 30 days, including recipe suggestions and recipes. There is a vegetable/fruit preparation chart, a helpful chart for substitutions if you do not like a particular ingredient, and a section about juicers to aid in your selection should you need one. (We bought the Breville juicer Joe Cross used in his 60-day reboot, which he now endorses, and is available through Amazon.)My husband and I juiced for 15 days. We did not follow the plan exactly (we chose different recipes), but did follow the recommendation to drink 4-6 juices a day. My husband "cheated" (which is OK according to Joe Cross (paraphrased): "If you get really hungry, drink another juice. If you're still hungry, eat a salad.")--and he still lost weight. I lost inches (I do not weigh myself) that showed in much looser-fitting clothes.We now mix juicing with solid food, sticking pretty close to Joe Cross's juicing/eating rule of 80% vegetables and 20% fruits every day. This is our new way of life and we are enjoying it--happier, healthier, and a lot wiser about food and food choices.

Consigliato a chi domina l'inglese
È ben organizzato.Ho specialmente apprezzato i programmi.Ci sono istruzioni per diete da 3, 5, 10, 15, 30 giorni. Solo succhi o succhi e cibo.Ci sono istruzioni per il mantenimento e tabelle che riassumono il programma che rendono la lettura e comprensione più veloci e agevoli.Ovviamente ci sono molte ricette.Il prezzo di 7 euro e spiccioli è ottimo. Ha un prezzo basso perché non ci sono fotografie. Né in b/n, né a colori.Unico problema: è in inglese. Quindi: non va bene per tutti .Consegna più veloce del previsto.

Buena hoja de ruta
Una pena que no esté en español, buenos consejos y si no lo tomas a rajatabla puedes conseguir un estilo de nutrición saludable y mantenido en el tiempo.En mi caso, más de 5 días a zumos y haciendo deporte era inviable, adaptando esto básicamente a comer todo lo que se pueda verdura cruda mezclada con fruta e introduciendo frutos secos y carnes/pescados a la plancha 1-2 veces por semana he conseguido resultados muy buenos no solo de peso sino de salud. Básicamente reiniciar la forma de comer y que al sentirte mejor seguir con ganas de continuar.
