by Patrick Holford, Fiona McDonald Joyce

Boost your energy, improve your digestion, and detox your liver in 9 days—without fasting!
 
A healthy liver keeps your bloodstream and other organs clean. But when it’s overloaded with toxins from alcohol, caffeine, pesticides, pollution, and artificial sweeteners, the liver can’t function properly. In The 9-Day Liver Detox Diet , nutrition and alternative treatments expert Patrick Holford guides you through his swift, easy-to-implement program for cleansing the liver and improving body function without feeling deprived.
 
What will a 9-day liver cleanse do for you?
• Boost energy levels                      
• Improve digestion
• Support healthy skin
• Counteract effects of stress
     
Holford’s safe and effective plan centers on eating foods—such as fish, nuts and seeds, cruciferous vegetables, leafy greens, and more—that superboost your liver’s ability to detoxify. Featuring more than 30 tasty liver-supporting recipes formulated by a nutrition specialist plus friendly real-world examples, like the woman who detoxed to get rid of acne in time for her wedding day, this targeted regimen will bring health and balance to your body without fasting and without disrupting your normal routine.

very helpful indeed. Although he punts all his products the diet is yummy and easy to follow. Loads of helpful advise. Now to just find the 9 open days in my diary ....

[Andreea-Cristina · Rating 3 out of 5]

Pretty clear except for the recipes that are somehow complicated. I will follow the main ideas of the 9 day detox, but I am not comfortable with the recipes. For example, I don’t agree with mixing fruits.
But that’s just my opinion.

Food for thought, body, mind and soul

Exactly what I needed. Simple advice, and a powerful message to look after myself better for now and the future. A must read for those looking for a proper guide on detoxification, and a health-oriented mind.

This is a quick, informative step by step approach that I want to try.

If you ignore the fact that there’s some pseudoscience, it is a wonderful book of easy tasty recipes that make you feel 1000 times better.

Not sure the detox works. I felt really bloated.

كتيب مختصر يساعد في تنظيف الجسم من السموم. وفبه بعض المعلومات التي اختلف فيها مع الكاتب. عموما التغذية الصحية لها عدة مدارس، كل يختار ما يوافقه.

كان كتاب حلو بصراحة و نصايحه إلى حد ما سهل تنفيذها رغم إن في بعض الخضراوات و الفاكهة اللي كانت في الكتاب مش موجودة أصلاً في بلدنا. و بردو حتة انه عايزنا ناخد مكملات غذائية انا حسيت ان لو انا بعمل ديتوكس فعلاً، المفروض انها تبقى كلها من الطبيعة مش جزء منها من الصيدلية. انا متبعتش الوصفات بصراحة لسه بس النصائح عموماً اه، ساعدتني جداً و فرقت معايا.
