Jason Vale

5LBs in 5 Days by Jason Vale serves as an easy to follow juice detox guide with a good amount of wonderful recipes. The first half of the book was very informative and interesting as Vale share nutritional facts of the juice detox method and common myths about eating and drinking fruits and vegetables. Overall, it was an inspirational read, but I was somewhat uncertain regarding a few of Vale's claims and theories. A great book to have if you are starting a juice routine.

I recently purchased a juicer and a family member gave me this book to read for recipe inspiration. I've really enjoyed it, and I'd go so far as to say that The Juice Master goes further than a regular recipe book in that it provides details on the vitamins contained in each juice and the way in which it will 'juice' those that drink it.

The easiest way to demonstrate this is to share a recipe from the book. Today feels especially cold so I'll share a juice called 'Cold War'.

With over 100 recipes in this format, this is more than just a recipe book, it's a treasure trove of information and also contains juices designed with particular health benefits in mind. With an index sorted by name of fruit and vegetable, it is easy to find what you are looking for.

The documentary Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead has made juicing very popular again although I didn't hear about it until I was buying my juicer. Watching it I found it very inspirational; have you seen it? Excited by the documentary, I asked my Doctor if I could do the juice fast and she gave me an emphatic 'no.' Oh well.

In summary, this is a gem of a juice book and I'm reluctant to return it. If you have a favourite juice recipe you'd like to recommend, please share it in the comments section, I'd love to try it out. show less

I once calculated that some weeks I drank 50 units. Most drinkers consume way more units than they think, kidding themselves that one glass is one unit when it might actually be several units.
I read this book and something just clicked in my brain and I haven't had a drink of alcohol since. Best of all, I don't miss it, something I thought was impossible when I was drinking.
Not many books actually change your life, but this one did.
