Summary: Great book to start with!
Review: This book gives you all the information you need for begining juice fasting and fasting. How much more do you need? What kind of "advanced technique" is there to not eating. It doesn't give detailed physyological information, but it isn't a medical book. It explains everyhting in a way that makes it easy to understand what you're doing, what is happening to your body, and how it helps.

Summary: The Particulars of Fasting
Review: This book is both informative, and an easy, pleasant read. In sharp contrast to several other books I've read, Meyerowitz doesn't force feed raw food diets or fasting down your throat with threats of disease and disaster. His approach is simple, direct and well-organized. The book begins with a discussion of what fasting is and why it can be beneficial and continues on to descriptions of how to begin, how long to continue and how to come off a fast. Other important sections include a systematic description of how the body detoxifies, what to expect as this occurs and what can be done to help the body during the cleansing process. All in all I found this to be a well-balanced and informative book that I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who is new to the concept of water or juice fasting.

Summary: Easy to read and concise how to for fasting.........
Review: This is an easy to read book on how to fast for your health: mind, body, and spirit. The author does not try to convience you that this is the ultimate in health but educates you on the benefits of fasting, why it should be practiced, and how to go about it.The book touches on the different types of fasting, the duration of fasting, how to start, and importantly how to come off of a fast. There are several different kinds of fasting but what suprised me was the benefits of fasting during short periods of time: 24 to 36 hours. I had several misconceptions of fasting: that it was a long period of complete deprevation, I was wrong. The book outlines the benefits of short term and long term fasting and the effects of detoxifying the body with fasting. Other topics discussed is fasting for weightloss and the nutritional balance of certain juices during fasting. If you are new to the fasting concept and practice this is a great book to start.

Summary: Seriously great book!
Review: Wow! This book is great on a variety of levels. I go back to it often and read it whenever I juice fast. The benefits are endless, from weight-loss to clarity, it also allowed me to re-evaluate my relationship with food. Its worth every penny. If you have never juice fasted before and are thinking about trying it for any reason READ THIS BOOK it is both enlightening and extremely motivational.
I already started applying these principles with my own well-being by giving up my coffee habit. I realized having that wired up feeling all day clouded my concentration. Did you you know one cup of joe raises your blood pressure by 14%! Fortunately for me I was able to find a wonderful tasting replacement made from soybeans. You brew like coffee and it even helps lower my cholesterol.
I found it online at www. so ycoffee.c o m. Gaining this understanding will effect every move you make from this point on and will bring with it the necessity to share it... THIS BOOK I RECOMENDED!!!
