Summary: Return of the living dead
Review: This is an excellent book to follow to do what people call juice fasting. I won't get into the language argument of using the term fasting with juicing because everyone knows what you mean. What the good Dr. has here is an excellent way for an individual to gain control of their health. As a by product you will effortless lose weight and detoxify at the same time. I can't stress the detox benefits enough as you will simply be amazed at what happens to your body as you continuously use the program. Even if you do it once or twice a year, once a week or whatever you will always realize benefits. The program is so very flexible and you shouldn't be bored. The first few times I followed the book to the letter of the law and then I re-read it and found that there were alternatives given that I had glossed over. These alternatives make this a very flexible and easy to do routine. This is the no excuse way of keeping yourself healthy.

Summary: Merits of the book and the author's writing style
Review: Written in the 1960's, this book discusses juice fasting as a way of maintaining health, detoxifying the body and losing weight. Clearly, juice fasting has been around for a long while, so it is not a fad. It is so much more than that!

This book provides numerous anecdotal examples from the mid-1900's of people who have recovered from various illnesses and obesity while fasting on juice. It gives some guidelines or "to-dos" for juice fasting and different methods and settings for doing a fast. It discusses the vital importance of exercise and rest. It does not incorporate nutritional information, scientific breakthroughs or medical insights from the past three decades. It does not give a lot of detail about potential risks of fasting for different people. The reader will need to balance the directives of the book with current health information and her knowledge of her own body.

The book is rather short. As the title indicates, it is a guide for fasting. It is not a guide for healthy eating when not fasting. There is some information in there about that, but if more nutritional detail is desired, the reader will have to look elsewhere.

The author's writing style is very enthusiastic and easy to read. It is clear that he had a passion for the subject matter and believed in the power of juice fasting.

After reading this book, "how to keep SLIM with juice fasting" was extremely clear to me. Not eating = weight loss. "How to stay young" and "how to stay healthy" with juice fasting were not as clear to me, and I looked to other, more recently written and up to date books for further guidance.
