Living Beauty Detox Program: The Revolutionary Diet for Each and Every Season of a Woman's Life

Gittleman is full of great dietary advice. Book arrived as promised in condition promised.

I really like that the detox are based on the season. That made a lot of sense to me. After I did the 3-day detox (Spring). I was so impressed with the results that I convinced my sister to try it and she was also very happy with the results. I followed the program pretty well, but did not like the pill-popping aspect (taking fiber supplements and supergreen supplements). Instead, I did my own legwork and research and did shots of wheatgrass in lieu of supergreen supplements and took herbal teas in lieu of the supplements she recommends. But for the most part, I followed everything else. It was pretty terrific. Never felt hungry. You may not enjoy the meals as much as I did (as a trained cook, I was able to improvise and make pretty creative dishes out of her ingredient list). For me, the worst part was the unsweetened cranberry juice, but I found that I started to enjoy it! I drink it all the time now. I will say this, I lost a few pounds and my skin looked great. Didn't really notice a difference in my hair! I'm going to try the summer detox next.

I did the detox twice. The first time I didn't exercised, but I didn't have the energy either. The second time I exercised, used a pinch of fleur de sel in my meals and I added a spoonful of lentils at dinner. The diet worked just the same but I wasn't as miserable. The diets for each season are great to stay on track, but let's face it: who doesn't like like bread & butter...

I read this book at about the same time as Ann Louise Gittleman's "Fat Flush Plan," and both books were very similar, and very effective. Ms. Gittleman takes the time to explain - in layman's language - how food is used by the body.

The fact that she breaks things down by seasons adds a little variety. Good detail is provided on what to eat to achieve better health and especially how to detoxify your poor body.

I have given this book as a gift, it was so helpful.

this program really works. I was losing pounds every day... I just wanted to try it. I will continue after I will stop nursing. It is great!
