1 Pound a Day: The Martha's Vineyard Diet Detox and Plan for a Lifetime of Healthy Eating

The theme of this book is not how to lead a better life but the dire urgency to purge all potential harmful elements, no matter the level of proof of harmfulness. While I agree that toxins are best to be avoided, to remove all possible toxins from our daily life is not only not practical, but indicates a mental health problem of obsessiveness. Additionally, isn't it curuios that most of the suggested dietary supplements are sold at a significantly high premium by the authors? In summary: purge everything and buy everything from us.

I decided to try this detox diet to lose weight. Could only stay on it for 15 days, but I lost 14 pounds. It helped stop the sugar and salt cravings and got me back on juicing. Made me very aware of how much salt most processed and restaurant foods have, and I've managed to cut back considerably on both. The weight loss also helped motivate me to keep going and get back to exercising.One problem I had with the book is the lack of clarity as to how much berry juice and Aloe vera to take. I sent them an email; their response:"You have 1oz of the acai berry drink. One 1oz of berry drink is equivalent to 10-12 servings of mixed berries. You also take 1oz of aloe vera at bedtime during the detox."

This is my fourth time doing the detox! It is amazing and within 4 days you will start feeling healthy! I am not going to tell you it is easy but what I will tell you it will change your life forever!

I was disappointed that they did not provide a lot of juice recipes. I was also hoping for a daily menu of which juices to have in the morning, snack, lunch, dinner. I had seen a video in which she mentioned juicing all day I assumed she would have included all the juice recipes for at least a weeks worth so then you could repeat the test if the weeks. I found myself going onto her Facebook page to look for recipes only to find some uploaded recipes from followers. Disappointed not worth it.

Waste

Book was very unclear ! Directions clashed with website , this was also mentioned in the Blogs regarding this book! Varying information was given both on website, book & interview on TV. Difficult to follow as you don't know which set of directions to go with . Quite frustrating for my daughter and I!!

No me gusto para nada

This diet was a bit tough at first because a great deal of discipline was required. If you follow it, you'll feel amazing. I've taken a lot of what I've learned and incorporated it into my daily routine.

poor health advise. you will lose weight if you drink juice, of course and you will gain it right back when you stop. the author doesnt know anything about health. the advise is poorly given.

Great book.
