CLEAN UP!

Using too much of seemingly innocuous substances like coffee, tea and sugar can be addictive and may cause severe health problems over the long term. These include blood pressure abnormalities, mood disorders, headaches and fatigue.

The New Detox Diet is an informative practical guide on how to cleanse the body of the above substances, nicotine, alcohol and others in the most natural way. The book provides great recipes and helpful information on counteracting the side effects of detoxification, which can often manifest in extreme discomfort.

The detox programmes are presented in detail and includes pitfalls to watch out for. Based on the body’s own healing processes, the approach is subtle and holistic, avoiding drastic cold-turkey methods. The various harmful items are treated chapter by chapter, and at the end of each the most relevant information for that particular substance is repeated in short form.

I found the author’s suggestions of alternatives for the above substances and his tips for a healthier lifestyle quite positive and sensible. The New Detox Diet would be a worthy addition to your bookshelf if you wish to take responsibility for your own health.

A lot of information but little in the way of advice

I'd read about Dr. Haas' detox diet on a number of websites and hoped that this book would expand on the bits and pieces I'd put together from this research. Sure, its got lots of background on why detoxing and fasting should be considered as part of any 'eat to live' plans, but the information though comprehensive fails to explain the 'how-to's' of living by this ideal. The diet itself is contained on one page and very little else in the book would help practice what Dr. Haas preaches. How long should the diet last? How do you know if you have detoxed? How much is too much (or not enough?). DOn't expect this book to be a step-by-step guide, 'cos it isn't...but for helping you justify why you should have a damn good stab at controlling your intake of toxins, I'd say it scores well. For the beginner, I'd look elsewhere. Confused? Exactly how I felt when I'd read it!

Very disappointed with it - didn't give good plans

Seemed like he read other books and put information in here from them. Didn't have much in the way of diet plans or how to tell if you've detoxed.

Live Longer and Better with This Book

It's amazing how nutrition is so important in our lives. The dietary changes that the author support will really cleanse your body and Detox it. this is a book that is really worth to read; it's going to make a "life" of difference.
