I first read Kathy's book, Quantum Wellness, and was very moved by all that Kathy has to say and how kindly and non-judgementally she expresses herself and the ideas in her book. She urges people to live a more happy and healthy life, through living, thinking, and eating consciously. It wasn't until this book came into my life, that I really decided to do the 21 Day Cleanse. I have never done anything better for myself and I thank Kathy so much for this.

The "cleanse" is not really a cleanse in the way that celebrities and news people are talking about today. I view it more as a meal plan, which takes the stigma out of cleansing or dieting, as it really is what her cleanse is about. Once I got over the initial, "What on earth will I do without caffeine, animal products, and sugar?!" I went to the grocery store and stocked up on everything that Kathy suggests. There was SO much that I could eat, and I didn't even get everything the first-go round. (I highly recommend having all of the foods on hand so that you don't want to fall back to old habits....this makes doing the cleanse super easy!)

I have never slept better in my life, and wake up with so much energy and ready to take on the world. No caffeine necessary. (after the first few days or so....) My skin looks so much better (I keep getting so many compliments on how I am glowing) and I feel amazing. Not to mention the fact that I have already lost 4 pounds and all of my clothes fit better. I look and feel great; mind, body, and spirit.

If you want to change your life for the better (or just lose weight, or just feel good!), I HIGHLY recommend this book and this cleanse. And if you can't do 21 days, do 7 days or whatever you can, as Kathy recommends. Trust me, it's the best thing you'll ever do.

Thanks!!!

Heard about this book on the TV morning news, but I'm not an Oprah fan so I did not rely on her promotion of the book. The phrase "Quantum cleanse" grabbed me -- I needed a kick in the pants lifestyle change; I'm not one for slow gradual programs. So I just did a cold turkey start two weeks ago -- no alcohol, no caffeine, no glutens, no sugar, no animal products. I'm in my final week. Sleeping better, more energy all day long (no 4-5pm tiredness) and lost 6lbs in the first 10 days. Note -- I did not read much if any on the spiritual/mind/meditation aspects of the book. Not for me. I just went straight to the food focus and (limited) recipes. Had a three-day headache from dropping caffeine, then no problems. The "no gluten" rule is the hardest one to work into the program because it is in too many things I like. Try quinoa -- excellent food and super nutritious. I'm not into self-help books and I was not sure how a former Ford model would be an expert in such things, but hey -- I commend her as it worked for me. If only for the food part of the book -- I am recommending it to my friends and colleagues. I'm sure a ton of other health/diet books have the same "drop it" rules, but this is the one book that actually got me doing it, so kudo 5 stars for the food rules (but only 3 stars for the other spiritual stuff).

This book takes a common sense approach to healthy cruelty-free eating. It also addresses a lot of the weak points in the diets of many Americans such as alcohol,caffeine, sugar, meat and dairy etc. If you can give up these things for 21 days you may just be able to give them up forever. The menus at the end are very sensible and do not include any extremes in calorie restrictions. The only thing that didn't "click" with me were the meditation exercises but you can substitute your own way of meditating. I would recommend this book to people new to cleanses or to someone considering going vegan.

The Quantum Wellness Cleanse is such a well-written, easy to read, life changing book! This book and this cleanse will absolutely change your life and lead you to better health, a more conscious way of living, and an easier way to look at yourself and how you view the world.

Kathy Freston has such a lovely way of writing that she makes you feel like she's your friend, hanging with you on the couch; without judgement in any way. In this book, Kathy urges you to be kind to yourself and others and to just "lean into" change, so that you don't end up feeling frustrated by any changes that you may or may not want to implement into your life. This book brings to light so many subjects (health, nutrition, animals, meditation, spirit) that are told in such a beautiful way that I have never heard before. It opened my mind and my heart and truly changed me into a better person, just by reading the words.

I am so excited to try the cleanse, and have heard amazing things about it from friends. I have already dropped caffeine and chicken from my diet and am ready to take on the other items, by "leaning" in to it!

Such a great book and an amazing gift to give to someone---or to do together!

This book provides exactly what the title promises- a way to change your body, mind and life. Love the recipes and the way it makes a safe detox availale to the pulic without having to pay a fortune at a doctor's office or on a high cost product.
The changes recommended are not easy but for someone who is ready to take the journey this book is a great book to guide him or her.

Try this cleanse, then decide what to add back in slowly. I decided to leave gluten out completely and have found its presence was indeed causing problems.

I am not sure what my goal was when I purchased this book, but as I read it, it became apparent that it was so much more than another cleansing diet as it jogged my feelings concering how I feel about food. What my individual responsibility is in choosing what I eat. And as I read the book I realized how mindless and clueless we all are about what we are eating, and no wonder we are sick. I do know that I can't look at a piece of pork the way I used to.

I also feel now that it is not only a good thing to buy organic, but it is my responsibility so that we can show the food industry what we really want.

What has all this got to do with a Quantum Wellness Cleanse, read it and find out.

Great information and very well written. I've been a vegetarian for over 27 years. This book is motivating me to take my health up a notch and to ease into even better health than I'm experiencing now.

The Quantum Wellness Cleanse, Kathy Freston's follow-up to her 2008 bestseller--and VegNews' pick for "Book of the Year"--coaxes the reader to begin a 21-day detox diet that eliminates "The Big Five": caffeine, alcohol, gluten, animal products, and refined sugar. Freston coaches you through each, with chapter-a-day handholding that includes successfully navigating travel and eating out, asking your doctor questions, and meditation. Quantum even includes recipes by celebrity chefs Tal Ronnen and Lex Townes. This book helps you reclaim your physical and spiritual health. By learning to align what and how you eat with your values, this cleanse can become the bedrock of not just a three-week anti-binge, but the foundation of sustainable change.

This book is very well written and is very easy to understand. The chapters are broken down logically, and I found it to be an easy read. My only objection to this book is that the program that it promotes is very strict and I found it difficult to follow, particularly when faced with business meetings and other situations where it was necessary for me to eat out. Furthermore, I have a teenager and a ten-year-old. Trying to feed my husband, my two kids, and myself was a true challenge. I made it 14 days through the 21-day cleanse, but will probably try again some other time.
