Meyerowitz - Sproutmans 7-Day Just Juice Diet

Thank you, Steve. I loved it! You are a clear and organized teacher.

GLORIA

Drinking only raw vegetables and fruits seemed to supercharge my taste buds, and I appreciate my food now so much more. Im also much more picky about what Im putting into my mouth!

CINDY

Having done three juice cleanses since January, Im almost at my ideal weight. I havent been able to get back to that point in about six years.

RHONA

I just want to say thank you for being such a beautiful human being, bringing health back to all of us.

STACY

I had never tried fasting of any kind, but after reading about Bill Clintons amazing turnaround, he looks GREAT. Your detox class seemed like the right way to jump-start into a new way to eat, stay healthy, and lose weight. And I was right.

S. B.

Not only did I learn the correct and beneficial way to detox, I also learned some wonderful things that I can do daily that will help me attain better health!

CAROLYN

From those seven days, Ive learned how much I enjoy drinking veggies, rather than eating them!

RICIA

Ive tried many things and this is the only thing I keep coming back to. It always makes me feel better when I feel sick and downtrodden. Steve Meyerowitz is by far the BEST teacher in this field.

Introduction

I m getting fired up for another week of just juice. I do this a few times every year. (Yes, it gets easier the more you do it.) Why? I love the way it makes me feel! I invest a week, and I collect dividends for months. The dividends Im talking about are the kind that restore your natural energy and lighten your load. This happens when your body is cleaner and functions more efficiently. Its not a pricey pill; its not a million-dollar secret. Its a 7-day protocol that requires commitment and discipline. I give you the recipes (theyre delicious) and the daily program (its flexible), and you make the commitment.

When I started my quest for healing in the 1970s, Id been struggling with a lifetime of food sensitivities, constipation, asthma, and severe allergies to common things, such as animals, dust, and grass. Even breathing was hard! I discovered juice fasting and did a lot of it, even fasting for as long as one hundred days. I made so many mistakes! But I was determined to get it right and learned a great deal as I refined my process.

The program in this book is modeled after my work with thousands of students. Over the years, Ive taught many classes, including international webinars. I lead groups through the 7-Day Just Juice Diet four to six times per year. And now I can help younot just to avoid the pitfalls but also to get the greatest benefit from juice fasting in the shortest amount of time.

Even though this diet is about cleansing the body, the key to success is getting in the right frame of mind. Once you make the mental commitment, its easier to deal with the challenges of the physical process. Thats why Ill ask you to think about your goals first, and then Ill help you get organized.

This cleanse is not going to cure everything. One week of just juice cant reverse health issues that have developed over the course of a lifetime. However, cleansing naturally reduces inflammation, neutralizes allergies, purifies the bloodstream, purges the intestinal tract, balances the bodys biochemistry, and yes, successfully eliminates unnecessary pounds. And heres the payoff: when you feel better in your body, you approach all your challenges with fresh energy and renewed enthusiasm.

If you take a break from the energy-consuming process of digestion, and from the contaminants in our modern food supply, your body will revert to its natural equilibrium. Youll recapture some of your old self, feeling more energetic and productive, and probably having a better memory and renewed ability to focus. And you can do this simply by peeling back the layers to become the best version of yourself. If its done right, the Just Juice Diet is the fastest path to rejuvenation. Think of your body as a car and the diet as a tune-up. After seven days, youll still be driving the same car, but youll be getting better mileage and a smoother ride.

When you feel better in your body, you approach all your challenges with fresh energy and renewed enthusiasm.

In these pages youll find answers to the most common questions Ive gotten from folks whove already gone through the Just Juice Diet with me. So, think of this book as a road map and a support system that will keep you on track, just as if I were there with you.
