Detox Yourself - Jane Scrivner > Reviews (4)

I have always found it very difficult to stick to diets and have always been overweight :(. I have a terrible sweet tooth and am addicted to cheese, which I'm sure you agree are two things usually frowned upon by slimmers! I was having trouble sleeping and drinking lots of strong coffee to keep me going through the day. I just generally felt miserable and was feeling depressed.

A friend of mine had just completed a detox and said she felt great so I thought I'd give it a try. I looked on Amazon and bought this book ( I must confess it was only because it was the cheapest at the time!). I read the whole thing and though 'there's no way in hell I can do that!' but I gave it a go anyway. I must admit it was quite expensive to start the detox as you have to buy lots of supplements and you need bucketfuls of moisturiser etc!

I must admit the first week was difficult. One reviewer mentioned they were starving when they did the 3 day detox from the book, I assure you it is not the case on the full 30 day one. I have never eaten so much food in my life. Plus you had to eat goats/ewes cheese everyday so my cheese cravings were happy! You can also have goats yogurt with honey and dried fruit which satisfied my sweet tooth (not as much as chocolate I'll admit!). Your skin also looks terrible for the first week as your system starts to cleans, lots of spots and greasy hair, nice!

Once I started to get in to a rhythm it became easier, fruit and nuts for breakfast big salad for lunch, veg fish and rice for tea and so much water you'll be running to the loo every 30 mins or so to start with!

The skin routine was also really good. Dry skin brushing and moisturising actually started to get rid of my cellulite and all my spots went. Plus the fact that it makes you exercise every day doesn't hurt either!

After 30 days I felt amazing. I had lost a stone, my skin and hair looked great and I was sleeping properly. Hurrah! I think most importantly I was no longer depressed, why would I be when I looked and felt great.

I am currently following this detox for the 3rd time and I must say it is now a lot easier to do, mostly because the things you need to buy can now all by found in supermarkets without the need for searching round health shops. Also it is a lot easier to go out as bars and clubs have a much better choice of non alcoholic drinks and there are loads more veggie options when eating out.

This booked helped turn my life around. I am now a much more active person as it gave me the confidence to get out there and do things with my fab new body! I cant recommend this book enough and have made all my friends and my parents try it too all of them managed to stick to it and all thank me for it now.
