Summary: You'll Never Go Back
Review: I found "The Living Beauty Detox Program" while searching for another detox book that my friend recommended. In the spirit of seasonal detox-ing, I purchased this book in lieu of the other. I was only planning on going through a program during the month of March since, according to some nutritionists, spring is the ultimate time for detoxification. Ann Louise, however, has introduced us to detoxification for *every* season, ie each season has its own appropriate diet. I've been on this program for 3 weeks (2 weeks detox, 1 week maintenance) and have never felt better. I'll be perfectly honest and tell you that I have not followed this diet to a "t" -- that simply is NOT my style! I'm a Pisces! I did feel sluggish at first during times when I would normally hit the sugar. So, I have allowed myself one half cup of black tea every day. Also, instead of the dandelion root tea (blech), I take dandelion root pills. Ann Louise doesn't hit you over the head with recipes and planners -- you are in charge. I'm not very familiar with the Pritikin diet, but the author has extensive background with it and I suspect much of her ideas carry over from Pritiken. I liken it to the caveman diet: lot's of protein, greens, and fruit. Say goodbye to pasta and cheese. To be honest, I can't even look at cooked cheese anymore, it makes me so sick. That's a good thing.

Summary: Time for Living Beautifully!
Review: I read The Living Beauty Detox Program and began the outlined programs approximately two months ago. I start every day with the "Living Beauty Elixer" and fiber cleanse supplement recommended in the book. This book establishes specific detox and diet programs for every season as well as an overall system detox called the Fat Flush. This program has been extremely successful for me and I continue to feel better every day without any major detoxification side effects! The Living Beauty Detox Program is an excellent read and is complete in its recommendations and how-tos. A definite MUST READ for anyone concerned with their well-being and overall health.

Summary: Great book
Review: I tried this book in an effort to get back on track. There is a diet for each season and a fat flush diet. I lost inches in weeks on the fat flush. Believe me and try it, I have no reason to lie this book truly worked for me.

Summary: But have you tried it?
Review: Oh I have read many books on nutrition and this is far and away the best: primarily because it makes sense! You begin with unsweetened cranberry juice in the morning and at the end of the day. This "Living Beauty Elixir" has become a sort of daily Zen experience of cleansing. In just 10 days I feel more energetic and my body feels softer and even a bit smoother. Give it a try!

Summary: This is the answer for me!
Review: The Living Beauty Detox Program has encouraged me to look at ways I can take steps to feel better and enjoy life. After being on the spring detox program, my hair looks better, I've lost weight (in the right places) and my skin looks great. Ann Louise has done a superb job of making sense out of how we can feel young and youthful again. Thank you Ann Louise! I can't tell you what a difference this book has made in my life.

Summary: The Living Beauty Detox Program
Review: This book is full of information that all women should be aware of. The book consists of information and guidelines on managing nutrition and simple ways to detoxify. After reading this book and incorporating the programs and supplements in my daily regimen, I definitely FEEL and LOOK much better (and I am only 27). I look forward to reading the revised, paperback edition which will be published soon. Thanks Ann Louise.

Summary: Disappointed
Review: This is not a detox plan! I am very disappointed in this book, I gave up reading half way through, so my comments do not relate to chapter 8 onwards. My main concern with this book is I cannot see how a detox plan could include eating meat and eggs, that being one of the main causes of heart disease and possibly linked to cancers such as colon cancer. Yes, of course everyone needs to eat the correct amount of protein every day but does everyone need that high dose of cholesterol found in all meat/poulty? (...)I believe that the author's concern is that a diet low in animal protein would not contain enough zinc (to counteract high estrogen levels) - it is perfectly possible to get enough zinc from a no animal protein diet, eat plenty of asparagus, collards, corn, mushrooms, okra, peas, spinach, aduki beans, etc. (...)I believe the reason this book is popular are that the author has cleverly tailored her detox diets to suit everyone without them having to make too many radical changes - she makes you think you are detoxing, I think the results you will see will be largely psychological.

Summary: The Living Beauty Detox Program
Review: What a valuable and exciting book to learn how to have beauty from the inside out. There are so many helpful ideas to look prettier and become healthier at the same time. I love the simplicity of the detox diet plans. I have started the one for Spring and I already look five years younger. I have had the opportunity to meet Ann Louise on several occasions and she is a living example of this program - she has flawless skin and looks about 25 years old. Ann Louise is a gifted author with a knack for finding the latest and best information to help me stay healthy. This book is a must read and must do. I am telling all my friends about it.
