Different Kind of Book on Food Cleanse
When I first read the blurb of this book, I found myself a little confused about what the book might contain. I wasn't sure how some of what was stated related to the idea of a food cleanse, juices, or healthy smoothies; what would a lentil dish have to do with that? I also thought that the subtitle was confusing as well; what did the author mean by owning the weekend?
This book is clearly written by an author who is passionate about the subject and has done what the book is about. This is not about a standard, short-term juice or smoothie cleanse (though you could use it for that). Instead, the author strongly recommends using juices and/or smoothies as the basis of your diet during the week and eating other foods for dinner and on the weekends, choosing a diet plan that you believe is healthful for you. (I actually found the author’s discussion of diet beyond what this book is about to be refreshing. The author advocates that you figure out what is best for you and your body.) The author suggests three phases to the cleanse, the first being the juice phase and the second being the smoothie phase. During these phases, you either have juice or a smoothie for breakfast and lunch. The author suggests doing at least a week of each, though the author did follow Phase 1 for a year. For Phase 1, the author gives two recipes, one for breakfast and one for lunch. Phase 2 just has one smoothie recipe. You definitely need a juicer to do Phase 1 and a high-powered blender to do Phase 2.
I found the concept of having juices and smoothies like this to be an interesting one. Back when I first became vegan, I actually did something quite similar, having a large smoothie in the early part of the day and a basic dinner later. The author does give tips about how to make some of this ahead and even includes checklists and plans in the back to help you better set up your week. The author does also include some recipes that you could have for the eat-what-you-want meals of the week. That’s where the lentil recipe comes in. I found it kind of funny that the author also included “recipes”—that are somewhat detailed—for the perfect buttered toast and grilled cheese.
Unfortunately, the author did not stay on point for this book. Much more is discussed than the juices and smoothies or the cleanse aspects. Again, I can sense this book is a passion project for the offer, but I truly believe that nonfiction books should stay on topic. Write another book if you want to discuss tangential ideas.
I'll admit that I'm intrigued enough by this idea that I'm considering giving it a try. I really did enjoy making healthy smoothies back in the day as they are a quick and easy way to get a variety of fruits and vegetables into your diet. I think this kind of thing is easier to try in spring or summer when the weather is warmer and produce is better than it is in late fall or winter. I might give this a try then and see how it makes me feel.

Overall, I liked the approach to the diet the author has taken. There is an emphasis on ensuring you are healthy to begin and you use your intuition when altering your diet. This is a juice, smoothie diet designed as a five day cleanse and weight loss diet. At the level of less than 600 calories weight loss should occur. As with any diet that is less than 1200 calories it will not give full nutrition. This is not designed to be a full time diet, but I do think some of the principles, like the healthy foods used in the diet should be part of a healthy diet. Juice does provide a concentrated nutrient source. The information is provided in an easy to follow way and the instructions simple enough to follow. I like the information added by the shopping lists, the storage information, the cleanliness of the kitchen, and places to get additional information. There has been a lot of thought put into this book and it is well written.

I do not know if this is a diet I can live with since it appears a bit carb-heavy and a diabetic like me needs to measure that out carefully but I find this diet similar to the one my friend lost a lot of weight on so I wanted to read through it. It sounds pretty sound and I may just be able to try this someday. It is well-organized and seems to contain factual information.
