2.0 out of 5 stars
Not possible for the average person...,
This review is from: The Beauty Detox Solution: Eat Your Way to Radiant Skin, Renewed Energy and the Body You've Always Wanted (Paperback)
First the good...the info about when to eat different types of foods, the enzymes your stomach uses to digest different kinds of food...that made sense. Before this book, I ate oatmeal with fruit and nuts every morning. Now I eat an apple first, then the oatmeal, and I bring a handful of almonds in to snack on later in the morning.
That said...per this book, that breakfast is still 'bad.' The book says that I should drink a blended spinach smoothie for breakfast, be okay with being hungry, and not eat again until afternoon. (Shocking that people lose weight on this...) The book directs that if I DO have my 'regular' breakfast I should do the following: eat an organic apple first, then some organic spinach, then organic oat groats (oatmeal is bad) that have soaked in water overnight, then, three hours later, organic raw almonds that have soaked in water overnight. I just don't have the time or money (oat groats cost twice as much as my regular thick cut organic oatmeal and organic almonds are outrageous) for all that. And really, that's one of your few choices for a 'regular' breakfast. Cereal is out, eggs aren't allowed, yogurt (dairy and soy) is bad, etc. The book promotes being a vegan, which is fine. While I'm not a vegetarian, I like to have a couple vegetarian days each week. But the book also says not to eat any beans, tofu, soymilk (or any soy product), peanuts, etc. It also says I should ferment cabbage and water in my pantry for several weeks and drink the foamy, bubbly, enzyme-full water. Not something I'm ever going to do. Granted, the book is titled 'Detox' so I guess anyone could follow the diet (minus the fermented cabbage cocktail, sorry) for a week or two. And, since you'll probably be eating less than 1000 calories a day, you'll definitely lose weight. But I was hoping for a new, practical approach to eating healthy. And, like I said, the food combination ideas were helpful and there were other helpful pointers but, 70% of the proposed diet was simply not practical for everyday use. If you're already a vegan, you might be able to follow this. Though being a vegan and not eating soymilk, tofu, any soy product, beans, or nuts is still seriously restrictive. If you're an omnivore, this may work for a week or two and you will definitely lose weight...but when the detox is over and you return to a chicken breast sandwich on whole wheat, there's a good chance the weight will come right back. Bottom line, I think there are some interesting digestive/food combo ideas but, overall, the diet is entirely too restrictive for the average person who has a job and/or family.

Kimberly is a life changer!,
This review is from: The Beauty Detox Solution: Eat Your Way to Radiant Skin, Renewed Energy and the Body You've Always Wanted (Paperback)
I met Kimberly a few years ago when I was struggling with some major health issues, which I later learned were all related to the way I was eating. I was exhausted no matter how much sleep I got, I was perpetually bloated, I had horrifying cystic acne, black circles under my eyes and was just puffy. I also had put on about 10 pounds seemingly out of the blue and could not for the life of me get rid of the excess weight. I started e-mailing with Kim regularly and reading her blog religiously and began making some drastic changes to my diet. I started making her famous Green Juice daily, upping my intake of greens and fruit and drastically reducing my intake of processed food, dairy and animal products. Within a month, or less actually, I shed all the excess water weight I had been carrying around and my acne was GONE! The circles under my eyes dramatically lightened and my skin now has a radiance to it that no blush could ever create.
Every day I wake up feeling clear headed, energized and refreshed. Whereas I used to rely on 4 cups of coffee to get through the day, now only one cup in the morning is all I need. I snagged a copy of the book as soon as it came out. While I was on a healthy path before, the book really gave me that extra dose of invigoration and has put me back on an even healthier path. Once you start adopting a healthier approach to food, it becomes addicted, seriously! No amount of plastic surgery or expensive anti aging regimen or top makeup can ever give you the kind of beauty you will attain by following Kim's advice. I (obviously) HIGHLY recommend this book and can guarantee your life will change!

A must-read for everyone!,
By NS (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Beauty Detox Solution: Eat Your Way to Radiant Skin, Renewed Energy and the Body You've Always Wanted (Paperback)
This is a great book and a must-read for everyone, whatever your diet preference. Kim knows her stuff! She clearly explains how one should eat for proper digestion--the key to obtaining optimal beauty. She offers nutrition suggestions and tips for EVERYONE, whether you want to make major or minor diet changes. Her book also includes real-life stories of some of her clients and their progress with her tips and also includes yummy recipes! I read every single page, picked up so much info from it--and I know that when I come back to it and read it again I'll learn new things. I highly recommend this book!
