The review---
21 Pounds in 21 Days isn't just about loosing
weight!
A New York Times bestseller,
21 Pounds in 21 Days isn't your
average diet book. It can be a thought provoking assessment of
yourself; your mind, body and general well being. Dr. Roni
DeLuz, the book's author, sets the tone for some of us older
folks who remember the late 60's and early 70's. DETOX! Back
then it was all the rage to be pure through fasting and better
eating. Rachel Carlson scared some of us deeply with Silent
Spring. Purifying your body is nothing new, it goes all the way
back to ancient times and the Greeks and Romans, maybe even
before that. The practice of flushing your body with liquids and
cleansing with fruit, nuts and grains has long been known to
have health and healing benefits in every culture of the world.
21 Pounds in 21 Days puts
everything into perspective and shows you how to do it yourself.
Everything is based on the Martha's Vineyard Diet Detox Program
used at Dr. Roni's retreat in Massachusetts. Learn how to rid
your body of toxins, manage your nutrition and consume the right
liquids. One body organ cleansing technique that may hit home to
some, is the liver cleansing method. Let it be known that this
is no diet book: it's a wellness book that focuses on
detoxification through flushing, taking antioxidants and making
lifestyle changes. There is a small chapter with recipes to help
you get started with the program.
Refresh your system so
you can function at your best, buy 21
Pounds in 21 Days!
