Recommend it to everyone! Began flirting with juicing Oct 1. Was going to go full bore however took a
detour to Zuccotti Park for a few days and wasn't sure I could maintain. A few week later after a yoga retreat
where I consumed a vegetarian diet, started green smoothies almost every morning and have moved towards
a gourmet raw food diet. (Had Turkey on the holiday, eat Cod, oysters) Eating like a pig! Lost 10 lbs without
trying.

My partner lost 20 lbs- his cholesterol has dropped and no more threats of meds from the doctor regarding that.

I use a Vitamix and LOVE it. I'm all in. Making my own almond milk- bought the dehydrator, have a spiralizer- Its
a lifestyle change forever for me.

Have so much more energy eating this way.

Bought copies to give for x-mas gifts.
