My Review 

My husband and I went on this diet last year. With both of us obese, we needed help. This diet has some great foods in it but preparing a daily drink concoction of sliced vegetables and citrus fruit that has to sit overnight got to be a grind. Plus, the drink itself was almost unpalatable to me. My husband finally chose to drink plain water for his. The best thing about this diet was that a lot of my fibromyalgia pain subsided. The recipes we tried were tasty but some of them are just too much work for an old lady with bad knees.

Rather an expensive diet, though.
