I had amazing success with the program presented in this book. In two weeks, I lost 16 pounds, my skin cleared up, my eyes got brighter, my hair got shinier and bouncier, my energy level shot way up, and I just felt great. Gittleman's ideas are revolutionary, as well as biologically accurate. However, since I am HUMAN, I have to say that it is very difficult to follow the program for a longer duration (see the maintenance section). The foods are not altogether tasty, and there are no real allowances given for situations such as eating out, parties, holidays, etc. I think that in order for someone to follow this program and also have a truly diverse diet, one would need to do additional research. While I had great success during the two week detox period, I had a great deal of trouble integrating the maintenance portion with my every day life. Also, like many diets, it assumes the ability to cook every meal at your own kitchen, which is not usually the case for those of us who work and have busy, active lives.

I first read about Ann Louise's Two Week Fat Flush on iVillage where it was getting over 5 million hits a month. I tracked the program down to The Living Beauty Detox Program and am so happy I did. This program and her seasonal detox programs really work. I have been on the Two Week Fat Flush for 10 days and plan to continue it for another 10 days. My inches have come off my tush and buttocks - places where I could never reduce before. Besides, I am not hungry and am not EVEN TEMPTED by sweets anymore. I am a true believer and hope this woman does news letters in the future.

My husband bought this book for me for my birthday. I have been doing the Two Week Fat Flush in preparation for the Spring Cleanse. I have lost 5 inches from my thighs so far. I AM NOT EVEN LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO EAT, WHAT A MIRACLE. I keep this book next to my bed because the quotes in front of each chapter are so inspiring. Well Done..

What a valuable and exciting book to learn how to have beauty from the inside out. There are so many helpful ideas to look prettier and become healthier at the same time. I love the simplicity of the detox diet plans. I have started the one for Spring and I already look five years younger. I have had the opportunity to meet Ann Louise on several occasions and she is a living example of this program - she has flawless skin and looks about 25 years old. Ann Louise is a gifted author with a knack for finding the latest and best information to help me stay healthy. This book is a must read and must do. I am telling all my friends about it.

I read The Living Beauty Detox Program and began the outlined programs approximately two months ago. I start every day with the "Living Beauty Elixer" and fiber cleanse supplement recommended in the book. This book establishes specific detox and diet programs for every season as well as an overall system detox called the Fat Flush. This program has been extremely successful for me and I continue to feel better every day without any major detoxification side effects! The Living Beauty Detox Program is an excellent read and is complete in its recommendations and how-tos. A definite MUST READ for anyone concerned with their well-being and overall health.

I am suspicious of most books on natural nutrition and diet because they either promote 1)a quick fix or 2) a grin and suffer attititude; but this book is special. I find that my diet ebbs and flows, and this detox plan works perfectly with those natural tendencies. After a 2 week detox, I go to the maintenace plan which (for me) has a tendency to gradually fall apart. But alas, I am saved by the next seasonal detox diet. This program allows me to continually pull myself back together. I also appreciate the vitamin and mineral reference; my health food store is now becoming a place I can navigate through. I've found my path.

The Living Beauty Detox Program has encouraged me to look at ways I can take steps to feel better and enjoy life. After being on the spring detox program, my hair looks better, I've lost weight (in the right places) and my skin looks great. Ann Louise has done a superb job of making sense out of how we can feel young and youthful again. Thank you Ann Louise! I can't tell you what a difference this book has made in my life.

This book addresses physiological answers to beauty problems. I love the way of eating and am losing inches and weight. Eating like this is a pleasure. I feel as if I am doing something right for myself; I am covering the bases as best I can!

Oh I have read many books on nutrition and this is far and away the best: primarily because it makes sense! You begin with unsweetened cranberry juice in the morning and at the end of the day. This "Living Beauty Elixir" has become a sort of daily Zen experience of cleansing. In just 10 days I feel more energetic and my body feels softer and even a bit smoother. Give it a try!

This book is packed with information that every woman regardless of her age will want--and need--to know. There are easy-to-understand insights on how estrogen mimics affect our health and how many of the things we do and take add to the problem--and most importantly, destroy our beauty. I found the detox diet and beauty routines so helpful I'm giving both of my daughters the book as a present.
