The Healthy Juicer's Bible: Lose Weight, Detoxify, Fight Disease, and Live Long

Weather you are new to juicing or have been at it for a while, this book is not only informational but is inspiring as well. Full of personal stories, tips, guides and recipes. The book is written well, clear and concise...no fluff, just stuff you can use. I bought this book when I bought my Breville juicer and was glad I did. We started juicing at the coffee shop where I work and this book helped me, help my customers. I was able to give them good nutricitional guidelines and healthy facts about the fruits and vegetables they were about to consume. Along with tips on how to juice at home. One other book I would reccommend is The juice Lady's Turbo Diet by Cheie Colbom. As a footnote: I started juicing about 6 weeks ago...I have lost enough weight for people to notice. My clothes are looser and I feel better because juicing is a healthy lifestyle. Watch Joe Cross "Fat, sick and nearly dead" video on netflix or Utube...it will inspire you to take your health into your own hands. I did a three day reboot...comsume nothing but juice and then have had a juice every morning for breakfast since. This is something Farnoosh Brock reccomends in her book...juice at least once a day (on an empty stomach) preferably for breakfast. You'll be glad you got this book, it's very thourough and is a really a good read! I read it from cover to cover in a matter of a few days. I gave it five stars because it's great! Loved it, and will continue to reap the benefits from it for a long time to come.

As someone who lost 80 pounds through juicing, runs a popular blog and podcasts at JuicingRadio I have read my fair share of juicing books. The Healthy Juicers Bible by Farnoosh Brock gets a 5 star rating from me for the following reasons. 1) Great Presentation 2) Attractive Photos 3) A good selection of recipes - though do not buy this if you want 1000s of juice recipes - there are plenty of cheap kindle books for that. 4) Juicing Success Stories 5) Preparation tips 6) Good explanations on the types of juicers out there. I know this can be a minefield for the uninitiated. 7) Written in plain English 8) Not hippy dippy/alternative - the writer does not promise that juicing beet greens will cure cancer for instance. 9) Great tips on how to detox. 10) Most importantly for us there are strategies on how to succeed. Some great motivational tips and the author does accurately point out that juicing is a lifestyle not a fad. Ms Brock has not written this book to push her own supplements or products, the book contains good honest juicing information that I wish I had when I started juicing.

This was a very good, informative, beginners guide for juicing. Let me start by saying that I did NOT purchase this book with the intent on going on a juice diet. I just wanted a book to explain the pros and cons of different types of juicers, as well as the benefits of juicing certain fruits, and vegetables. This was all new to me, and I needed a book to reference. That being said, I actually read this book from start to end. The authors writing style kept me interested, and I found her recipes to be quite easy to make. None of the ingredients were difficult to find. Most of the juices tasted great too. I strongly recommend this book as a starter book for juicing. It has helped me tremendously, as I am no longer afraid of my juicer, lol

I have to admit I am not a fast reader but I finished this book in just a few hours. It is not your ordinary recipe book. It is a very informative manual on juicing with a STORY. It flows beautifully and on your journey through the book, you will learn all you need to know about juicing in very informal and fun way. I am not a novice to juicing but I was still able to find useful tips. My only wish is that I owned this book when I first started juicing. Some of the topics discussed such as how to pick a juicer, what to do with pulp, how to store juice, how to stick to juicing etc. is what makes the book truly priceless. Further more, it does not only provide many wonderful and delicious recipes, Farnoosh teaches you how to make up your own concoctions. I routinely come back to the "What does and does not work together" chapter. Throughout the book you will find other juicers' stories which bring the topic of juicing into real life. These are just ordinary people like us and it shows you that you can do it too! Enjoy the many benefits of juicing. I healed my eczema in 4 months!

This book should come with a Warning Label -- don't juice without it! I began my juicing journey about 7 months ago by reading online information, watching infomercials, and listening to friends; all of which left me very confused and somewhat misinformed. This book cleared all the fog! I'm so happy that I clicked the BUY button and ordered this as my first juicing book, otherwise I might have given up early in my journey. The photographs in this book are picture perfect. My weekly goal is for my kitchen island counter top to look similar to these photos...inspiration waiting for me to arrive home from my day. She puts it all out on a silver platter for you; a quick and easy read, with no fuss, so that you can get on with your juicing. And I LOVE that the book is accompanied with a touch of her personal journey. Who doesn't love an inspiring story? There are plenty of recipes in book; I have not needed any other source but she does include a section on how to create your own delicious juices. I have several friends who have started juicing recently and I have given several people juicers as gifts. I always treat those people with a copy of this book. I could say a lot more but the bottom line ... juice at your own risk without this book. Especially a necessity for any newbie to juicing.

Even though I rated this book 3 stars I would buy it again and again. Let me start with the cons... 1. There are are more stories, more information (of which some I take issue with) than recipes. I believe the author has answered has answered these complaints by stating there are 47 juicing recipes in this book. That's not a small number of juices to sneeze at, but when you break it down by, "fruits & veggies I don't juice or can't find or that aren't in season"or I can't juice wheatgrass in my machine...the number seems to shrink. The juice recipes are from p. 135-172. 1-2 per page. The text of the book is 281 pages. If you are looking Purely for juicing recipes & not information this book is not for you. Remove half a star. There pulp recipes & suggestions though. 2. Benefits are not discussed...when I handed my BF a glass of juice he asked...what's this one do? Many other books breakdown the benefits of the recipes. I know collards are rich in magnesium, cucumber is hydrating, etc. in comparing to other books I own, it doesn't give that vital info. I need magnesium & adrenal boosters for example. I am familiar Veggies that give me that benefit, a beginner may not! I'd have to remove half a star for this one. 3. The masticating vs centrigal juicing machine argument...sigh. I do believe masticating juicers are best, but I own a centrigal juicer. And I store my juice, typically for less than 12 hrs. I juice during the workday. I am disappointed that Ms. Brock provided no scientific study/research to back her statement "you need to have a masticating juicer to store your juice". I have seen her conditions quoted verbatim on several websites. There was only one scientific study I could find (from food matters) that compared the two types of juicers, temp, effect on veggies,etc. I did not find one study conducted on the nutritional content of masticating vs centrigal juices after they have been stored 8-12 hours. I would hate think a centrifigal owner would toss aside juicing during the work day or a juice fast altogether based on her advice. Remove 1 star for failing to provide references. Is this a fact or an opinion? Pros 1. Great little book nonetheless. She re-inspired me to continue juicing which her statement "juice should taste good"! Whoa, no other book I own adresses taste. I have been a hold you nose, drink it down juicer for a few weeks. I ha e had her "green explosion" and it's delicious! I will edit this review with my fave juices from her book from time to time. I believe there will be many. 2. She adresses planning ahead, shopping, cleaning & storing for your veggies. She discusses veggie shelf-life. I have been googling that info, so I am thankful to have it in a book. Her advice is good and solid and will declutter my fridge a bit and make taking my veggie inventory easier. She adresses what to & not to juice. Some may think it silly, but a friend asked if she could juice a banana. I laughed, but it sparked a debate at work! 3. Inspiration. She provides it in bulk. 20 juicing benefits, her personal story, short stories of others she has helped. In full disclosure I own 3 juicing books. I have been juicing since March '13. I believe this will be the tastiest juices of the 3, in terms of reviews she has received the 2nd highest review. (The juice lady provides no index!!! & other complaints). In terms of useful scientific information about juicing & juices she has provided the least. All told I would buy it again, just for the tasting juices, her suggestions for alternatives & additions & the inspiration/motivation. I will eventually own about 5 juicing books and am picky about the ones I buy. This makes a good library addition, but I still haven't found that quintessential, all-encompassing 5-star juicing book.

In a word: Outstanding! It's easy to get lost in the proliferation of juicing titles available today, but this one stands apart in its content, its presentation, and just plain lovely execution. Farnoosh's writing style is as full of life as juicing itself, and it's compellingly endearing, as if she were right there next to you, talking about one of her true passions: healthy juicing. If you've never read any of her titles, or better yet, listened to any of her many podcasts to hear the genuine honesty and excitement in her voice - you're in for a treat. Not only is this lovely little book informative and inspiring, it's also beautifully published. The presentation of the book itself is truly stunning. The layout, the colors, the print, the paperstock, and the photos - including the dustjacket AND matching cover - ARE "mouth-wateringly" beautiful! I even love the size/dimensions of the book itself - slightly smaller than a typical hardcover, and that almost gives it the feel of a "pocket book" - easy to carry, hold, and read. The philosphy, benefits, and even the mechanics of juicing covered in the text are balanced perfectly with the awesome recipes themselves, and even includes a "what next" section and words to motivate and keep the momentum going. All in all, very well done. ....The Healthy Juicer's Bible? Amen! ~Bruce

I've read Farnoosh's other books on juicing and thought they were good, but this one is truly a work of art. First, the art work is really well done. Beautiful images throughout the book make me want to juice the pages! There was so much care put into the photography, that by itself, it makes the book a joy to read. As far as the content, I thought the book would simply be a dense collection of recipes, but I was pleasantly surprised. Farnoosh tells her story candidly and without lecturing. The distinctly non-pedantic tone of the book is nice, considering some other books preaching a healthy lifestyle. In addition to nutritional information and practical tips for juicing, she brings herself to the table in a very authentic way. And there is a chapter with recipes. The most important section of the book is about juice fasting. It's easy to get this wrong. Rather than just telling me what to do, Farnoosh actually explains why she fasts the way she does, what pitfalls to avoid and mistakes she's made along the way. I can't wait to start my first 5 day fast!

When I first cracked open the book I was expecting a bunch of recipes - but those are only a few pages in the whole book. "Oh no" I thought to myself, but then I actually started reading. Farnoosh took me through her story of getting started, the benefits of juicing and even some great tips on ways to combine different fruits and vegetables. I now juice almost every day and am trying to increase that to be a minimum of once a day. Just the other day I made my own concoction of veggies left in the fridge and it was awesome. Without the encouragement from Farnoosh in the book (and on Twitter I might add) I don't think I would've had the confidence to attempt it. If you're a new juicer, or seasoned veteran, you NEED to add this book to your collection. No excuses.
