  three stars is an average... October 26, 2008
Three stars is an average, actually. I give the book five stars. It is inspiring, makes you look at the "Big Food" ( and "Big Health") industry in a totally different (and much wiser) way, and its principles will help you looking after your health even if you don't endorse them completely. The recipes for juices, smoothies, salads and soups are really lovely, and I'm really happy a juicer made it's entrance into my life. The diet, on the other side, gets one star. It made me feel exausted , my muscles ached, and I felt angry (though never hungry, I admit) all the time. I lost two pounds in the first (and last) week (I followed the plan to the letter, and I haven't got a thyroid problem), and so it wasn't even worth suffering. I can lose this amount of weight with a standard balanced 1200 cal. diet. Obviously not everything works for everyone, and this diet is probably great for many people. What is great for all of us, though, is the principle "Look after your body, `cause you've got nowhere else to live".
 Simply fantastic! October 24, 2008
Yet again Jason Vale does it. I have many of his books and this is just brilliant. The juices & smoothies are excellent and I love the simple, quick and easy to do soups, especially the pepper/capsicum and cherry tomato one, you can't go wrong with this book!
Beautiful recipes!!! brilliant book October 12, 2008
For me it werent all about losing weight, ive been lucky enough to be slim and athletic all my life.. I did this to introduce healthy eating into my life.. As i am 21 and a keen sports woman, but always failed to be continuesly consistant in my diet.
Im a first time buyer of Jason Vale, and although he does waffle on abit, its a brilliant book with some damn tasty soups, smoothies and juices... highly reckomended!!!! thanks Jason
Fantastic Book....again! August 19, 2008
This book is really easy to read, clear and informative. The juicing plan is outlined well and I feel, much better than his previous book 7lbs in 7 days (although I still loved that one!). This plan is more easy to follow and fit into family life. The basic principles are the same; juice/smoothie for breakfast and lunch, and soup for dinner. This then extends after 7 days to a more flexible plan juice/smoothie for breakfast and lunch for 5 days a week then just replace the soup to a healthy meal.
Great!
Best yet! June 25, 2008

I'm a big, although initially reluctant fan of Jason Vale's books. I say reluctant, because like many readers it took me a while to get used to his idiosyncratic writing style. BUT since first reading Slim4Life 2 years ago I've revolutionized my health and dropped 2 dress sizes in the process - without dieting.
This is the Juice Master's best book so far, packed full of inspiration and eye-opening insights, and most importantly, a totally fabulous programme that will have you juicing and eating yourself slim, healthy, energetic and full of bounce - for LIFE!
(And as a small and really unimportant bonus, this one is better written than some of the other books.)
