I also know there is a lot of misinformation and debate surrounding juice and juicing.

So before we get to the good stuff, let me start off by telling you what I know juicing is not.Juicing is not a diet. Its not the answer to all of your health problems. It is not going to cure you of any disease. Juicing alone is not going to undo the effects of years and years of unhealthy eating habits. So, if youre reading this book in hopes of juicing doing any of those things, you can stop reading now.Phew! Now that weve gotten that out of the way, lets get busy talking about what juicing is. Juicing is a lifestyle.

Juicing is transformative. Juice is an infusion of nutrients and phytochemicals that will help heal and nourish your body. Juice is delicious! As part of a clean eating, detox-friendly lifestyle, juicing is all of those things. I know this to be true because I live it and Ive witnessed it.Over the last few years Ive led hundreds of people through my Clean Eating Detox. In this twenty-one-day group program, eager participants agree to trade in a diet of highly processed, pro-inflammatory, and toxic foods for one filled with whole foods, very few animal products, and tons of delicious green smoothies and juice. My intention for creating the detox right from the get-go was to inspire people who wanted to make radical dietary and mind-set changes.

People who were looking for a way to detox away from their old eating habits while trying out a new way of thinking about food.My intention for Skinny Juices: 101 Juice Recipes for Detox and Weight Loss is the same. More than just a book of juicing recipes for weight loss and detox, I wanted to create a resourcea guidebook for harnessing the delicious power of green juice, clean eating, and living a detox lifestyle.I want you to change the way you think about food and challenge what youve been told about healthy eatingand juicing. I want you to read this book, start juicing and changing your diet, and have an unforgettable experience. I want you to feel each day how food can affect your mood, energy level, ability to focus, and overall attitude. I also want to show you that living a detox lifestyle each and every day is possible, long after your program is over. And dont worry, if youve experienced the power of juicing already, youll still find plenty of info hereplus some delicious new recipes to add to your repertoire.

Ive always believed that the journey to abundant health is so much more than simply removing certain foods from your diet. Of course, removing highly processed foods full of sugar, sodium, and artery-clogging fat is important, but you dont achieve abundant health just by avoiding unhealthy foods. The foods that you add to your diet are just as important as the foods you take away. A healthy body is created from the inside out. It happens over time, and with consistent effort. I truly believe its your everyday eating decisions that will have the most influence on your body and mind in the long run.In this book I will teach you the ins and outs of juicing.

I will also help you design your own personal clean eating detox. You will learn how to change the landscape of your plate to include foods that support your bodys own detoxification pathways and help to create wellness from the inside out. Yes, juice plays a large role in this transition, but it doesnt end there. Juicing alone is not the answeryou must also pay closer attention to where your food comes from, how much its processed, and how its prepared.Im also going to help keep you juicing and eating clean, whole foods long after your detox is over by teaching you the daily practices that encourage a detox lifestyle. Youre going to wonder how you can feel completely full and satisfied by eating less!This book brings together the main philosophies of my Clean Eating Detox program and 101 juice recipes that support weight loss, detoxification, and digestive health.
