review 1: I found some of these smoothie recipes online a few months ago and had been using them a couple times a week with a workout/healthy eating program I was doing. I am not looking for a diet and have never had a weight problem, but I figured that since I was borrowing the recipes, I might as well read the philosophy behind the diet as well. I actually like the idea of this program. I get so sick of trying to make healthy changes only to have someone tell me I am still eating too much sugar in fruit or fat in avocados or carbs in everything. It makes me want to go back to a diet of brownies for breakfast and cookies for lunch. I get so bored with haters. I like the body reset diet because it allows fat, and carbs and sugars and tries to balance and moderate what our bodies nee... mored. It is also a very mild exercise program so I think this would be an easy plan to get anyone started on the road to better health or weight loss, and I like that eventually it steps up to two freebie meals a week. This seems like a healthy and feasible life plan. I am not sure I will ever follow it exactly but I learned some useful tips. I will keep using the smoothie recipes, and I like the info on combining protein and fiber at every meal/snack so I will try to utilize that info as well but I do not think I will incorporate any of the solid meal recipes. I like my own cooking better, but there is some good info here. 3.5 stars but I will round to 4 because most diet books make me so frustrated and this one did not.
review 2: I marked a couple of smoothie recipes but skimmed through the rest as it found it pretty much like other books I've read on dieting. Actually wish it hadn't been called a diet as there were a couple good concepts but nothing really unique about it except the concept of using your blender to do the work which I really would have liked had I just not bought a juicer! I should have read this last year when I first bought it. less
