I got this book about three weeks ago, right after it came out. At the time I was considering doing one of my semi-annual juice fasts, but kind of wary because, while that used to take off a good 6 pounds or so every time, the last couple of times I did it I didn't lose anything. Depressing! The book I use for my regular juice fasting is Dr. Paavo Airola's book "How to Keep Slim, Healthy and Young with Juice Fasting" which is out of print, but you can get them used online. So after skimming through the Juice Lady's book I thought it would make a good transition diet for after the juice fast. Sure enough, after a week on the juice fast I had lost 8 pounds. Then I transitioned into Cherie's diet. That way, instead of feeling like I was giving up all the foods I loved, I felt like "Oh goody! I get to eat a real apple!" =] I have tried several of her juice recipes and they were yummy. However soaked buckwheat groats...well it ended up in the trash. Won't be doing that one again! After one week transitioning, I have not gained back a single pound (which really means I've lost some, because after a week of juice fasting there is nothing in your intestines and when you start eating again it fills up again, of course.) I am not craving sugar, salt or anything but fruits and vegetables (living foods). I went to the grocery store yesterday, looked at all that nasty processed food and couldn't make myself buy it. Did spend a lot of time in the produce department, though. =] I am not following her diet strictly, so don't know about the losing 10 pounds thing, but I am liking what I am doing right now, and will continue juicing at least once a day. I am juicing fruit, which she does not do if you are strictly on the diet.

The Juice Lady's Turbo Diet(which we could only find on Amazon, after much searching) has provided us with so much information, and we are pleased to have implemented many of the suggested recipes into our diet. Between my husband and myself, we have lost 36 lbs in the past month. Before starting this diet we purchased a juicer and prepared ourselves for the change in our diet and routine. With the proper planning and knowing that we were going to be very focused on this recommended Juice Lady's Turbo Diet as first seen in Womens Magazine Sept/10, we are so happy with the result. We had concerns, wondering if we could go each day with only juice and raw veggies and hummus until supper time, but we enjoy this diet, with no hunger issues or concerns. We both feel fantastic and look so much healthier. Our fitness routines have always been part of our lives, but this weight loss and feeling of being so healthy and full of renewed energy gives us such confidence when moving forward and incorporating this diet into our lifestyle. Knowing that we feel so much healthier on the turbo diet is such a huge gift, after years of trying to find the means to be able to lose weight, and eat healthy at the same time as feeling so fantastic.

I hate dieting/ nutrition books with too much fluff. I love good instructions, meal plans, and recipes. This book has it. Of course, there are several chapters of all the positive reinforcement and general info, but it's written well, and chapters with actual plans are easily found.

Got this book in hopes of restoring my health and loosing impossible weight. Steroids have taken their toll, and I can not get the pounds off. The first 7 days I lost 10 lbs, and faster than the book promises. I am into this for only a month and following the juicing directions and have lost 8 inches in my waist. My body is still detoxing and I am beginning a new life! This book is so easy to read, understand and apply to your life. Cherie's really got it figured out! I learned about how the toxins work on your cells and how even if you don't eat, you can still gain fat cells! Get this book if you want to try the easiest way ever to get healthy and restore your youth! I am buying up all The Juice Lady's books! I have turned everyone I know, on to the great process of getting healthy.

I learned about green smoothies and juicing from Dr. Oz. I took his basic green smoothie recipe and juiced it. (It seems that green smoothies are not for me because of their texture, not their taste.) That is what got me interested in juicing. Out of the three juicing books I purchased, this one was by far the best. It has good recipes. Actually focuses on juicing, which I was most interested in. One of the other books I purchased focused on colon cleansing....I'm not in to that! Juicing was what I was after and I highly recommend this book.

I was given Cherie's other book on juicing for Christmas and tried out several recipes. I never liked V8, so I immediately thought I wouldn't like juicing. I love the veggie drinks! Already losing weight and feeling better. Now I'm shooting for 10lbs in 10 days!

I have learned much after reading this book. I am looking forward to using the receipes given in the book. I have been using a smoothie receipe from May to Oct of 2010 and lost 38 pounds. I am very excited about the implementing the drinks from The Juice Lady's Turbo Diet into my routine since it is easier for my body to absorb nutrients in liquid form instead of trying to eat all the veggies that are needed. I know from my experience with the smoothies that I felt better after one week of using the smoothies. I highly recommend The Juice Lady's Turbo Diet.

The recipes in this book are sooo good. I highly recommend getting this book, you'll feel better after giving your digestion a break.

I can't believe that such an excelent author with a book that has so much to offer would overlook the "minor" detail, which is formatting of the tables with key information in this book. I would like to go grocery shopping with those tables but I simply can't read them in my kindle. The print is tiny and there is no way to zoom in to those tables, I feel cheated, Fixing this problem would be so simple if I could just get an email with those tables so that I could print them out and have them handy.
Frankly, I can't believe formatting issues are not addressed before offering books in kindle. I wish I had bought the printed version but I didn't want to wait for it to come by mail.

For the first time in five years, I was able to lose some weight. Not 10 lbs in 10 days. However, I was happy with 6 lbs in 10 days. I am able now to think more positively about losing weight instead of constantly feeling stuck. The book is informative, easy to follow and has great juicing recipes. The book itself is a lovely colorful format.
