Easy, Simple, Healthy - Rated 
I bought this book on a whim as I've only a small bit of weight to lose, but I travel quite a lot so I was interested in the detox aspect of it as well. Every body needs a tune up now and then and this is a great way to do it. If you're looking to shed a few pounds or give your system a boost, I highly recommend this book. I felt more energized, slept better, had healthier skin and was in higher spirits than usual after following this program, it's fantastic.
If you are planning to follow a juice program I very highly suggest you purchase the Phillips aluminum juicer, I love it and use it constantly. Combine a great juicer with some tasty recipes and you'll be hooked as well
effective, if expensive - Rated 
Without doubt the most effective way to lose weight fast - in 10 days I have gone down a dress size; haven't once craved chocolate or tea/coffee. Radical - definitely sticking with it for a few more weeks. I didn't particularly like the writing style and lack of index makes it difficult to go back and quickly find the bit I wanted to re-read. Bought it with the Amanda Hamilton book Life Detox and found the combination of the two really helpful for making this a life change and not just a one off.
But these things do not detract from this being a good buy. My main gripe is the cost of all the powders and extras like Wheatgrass, Spirulina etc. Thought might be cheaper via their website but out of stock for the small sizes and still 50 quid, the set for this book is 80 quid. So be prepared.
Despite this highly recommended.
Say goodbye to dieting - Rated
I never thought I'd say these words, but this book really DID change my life. Never mind the juice 'diet' (sorry, Jason) itself, but the punch that the writing packs in this book is the most powerful I've ever felt! One of the rules of this juicing plan is to read the whole book first - and four pages or so every day that you're juicing and, unbelievably, this really worked, too. Jason Vale has crammed information, motivation, humour, analogy and common sense with such force that I would defy anybody who reads this book to fail. This is NLP at its best. Oh - and did I mention that, in spite of my husband's disbelief, by Day 3 I was bursting with energy, I was NEVER hungry, I felt fantastic from the inside out AND I lost 8 lbs.
Forget dieting. This is all you'll ever need. Brilliant.
If you are a regular juicer this may work - but not 4 me - Rated 
Like another reviewer I read the book cover to cover & was really excited & up for a juicing week
I have tried incorporating juices into my diet in the past & lost weight then & so thought a week of it would give me the boost I needed to loose weight for my hols
I bought all the suplements he recommends £70 - which seemes half as cheap as the kits he sells online
I typed out all the receipes & put them on laminated cards
bought the fruit & veg - about £30 for the first 2-3 days
I had not given any thought to the fact that I would not be "eating" for a whole week & this was something I missed immediately. I absolutely love cooking & eating is a social event in our house where we all sit down & discuss our day - it just didnt feel the same sitting there with a glass of juice.
I thought the juices tasted awful ( I did when I did juicing last time) & after 2 days the juices with spirulina (which BTW i thought smelled of fish food & when I checked is exactly what I give my cat fish to eat!!)were just making me feel sick & i found the thought of another juice too difficult to contemplate
In the end I gave up, I was miserable, hungry, tired & headachy, my husband did it a bit longer but his legs were hurting so much he gave in too.
For me personally I prefered it in the past when I replaced some meals with juices & still could eat at some part of the day.
Not eating for a whole week was just too radical for me & since i had no intention of changing to - no coffee, no milk, no meat, no sugar, no alcohol etc etc for life like Jason bangs on about it seemed a hellish experience to go thru to just go back on them at the end of the week
But it works for some so good luck
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Rated
I am just coming to the end of my juicing week an all i can say is wow!! The book itself does the job explains the diet etc but the actual diet itself is amazing!! i have never felt better i have more energy an i feel so positive to continue after the week of encorporating smoothies an juices into my diet!!
im not heavy over weight just had 2 stone that i really wanted to shift for summer so i started with this book i can safely say i have lost 6lbs an feel great about it, i never followed his exercise regime to the T ie i couldnt get up at 6 to go for morning exercise but managed to exercise at lunch time in between work an also every evening either jogging or biking.
i also purchased the juice wall plan which shows exactly what shakes to have, before even starting the plan i immediatley cut out half the shakes as i knew i didnt need 5 juices a day i simply had one for breakfast one for dinner an one for tea of course with any diet there are one or two that arent the best in flavour but you know how many vitamins and minerals are in there that it powers you through!!! i have come away from the diet with 3 firm favourite drinks that i shall be having regularly!!
of note though i never purchased the wheatgrass or spinuloa i think thats correct so you may even have better results with this!!
good luck everyone!
