The book is very informative about juicing and why it is essential to your health. It goes through many fruits and vegetables individually and gives you the nutritional breakdown which is great. The kindle edition is really nice because if you are reading about juicing for a specific reason and the section offers recipes you can simply select a recipe to go right to it, no need to go searching through the book for the recipe.
I took off 1 star for the section on weight loss and general diet. I bought a book on juicing not a book on nutrition so I don't want to hear about how I should be vegan for optimal health. I've done and still do lots of reading about nutrition from other sources and was looking for a book purely on juicing. Plus, I really don't think that a vegan diet is the best diet, at least not for everyone. My other problem with the section on weight loss was the authors restrictive diet and use of the weight loss pill HE INVENTED. Yes, in a juicing book the author tries to sell you his weight loss pill. I was disappointed that the author expected the dieter to become vegan, or mostly vegan, and restrict calories as part of a sustainable lifestyle change for weight loss. Simply adding juicing to your daily routine is probably the best thing you can do as a lifestyle change that is sustainable and will encourage weight loss. The author, in my opinion, dropped the ball here. When you start juicing your body naturally starts increasing energy and metabolism, you stop craving all those things that are bad for you, and the weight starts to come off easily. Some people may need more but diet pills should not be your first go to when you start juicing to loose weight.
Overall the book is really good and I would recommend it, I just didn't like the part on diet/dieting.
