Dr Joshis Holistic Detox 21 Days to a Healthier Slimmer You For Life

“If someone doesn’t comment within two weeks on how great you’re looking – then you’re cheating.” – Dr Joshi. Dr Joshi’s craving-free detox attracts stars and supermodels from all over the world to his Wimpole Street clinic. Now, in his first book, Dr Joshi will reveal the secret of his metabolic detox dieting plan and explain how it has transformed the lives and health of celebrities such as Kate Moss, Gwyneth Paltrow and Ralph Fiennes. Based on avoiding foods that are refined, acidic and toxic such as wheat, potatoes, red meat, alcohol and dairy produce, the idea is to alter the PH balance of the body from acid to alkaline – flushing toxins from the system, restoring energy levels and losing weight. It is also about ‘cutting down’ on certain foods rather than ‘cutting out’, and changing your palate so you will actually dislike the taste of those foods which are bad for you, so preventing cravings. By following Joshi’s intensive three-week programme and three-week maintenance course any one of us can shake off the strain of a high-pressure life and get the body and energy-levels we’ve always dreamed of.

User Ratings and Reviews

2 Stars Good ideas terrible presentation
My wife and I have been doing Joshi every January for a number of years and every time we return to the book, we remark on how badly it’s done. This is a treasure-trove of ideas, but good luck to you making sense out of them. The book is more a hodgepodge of notions, asides, lists, and suggestions, many of them contradictory. If you can tease it all apart, you’ll do fine, but don’t count on the book to give you a step-by-step approach. And this is NOT a diet, crash or otherwise, it’s a detox; its main goal is to give your liver a break. You’ll lose weight on it, but unless you’re a diehard, it’s not meant to be permanent. Some of the issues we encounter every time we read it: what is the REAL status of dairy foods? (Cow milk out but cottage cheese, yoghurt, and buffalo mozzerella in — what about sour cream? What about ficelle or buttermilk?; goat’s milk out, but feta in … does that mean you can eat chevre and the many options goat cheese presents? He never says.) Then there are the contradictory lists. He gives you alkaline and acid-producing foods and this is a realkalizing diet. Now potatoes are alkaline. But they’re out. Another problem: can you eat oats? People disagree on whether oats have gluten in them, but some reliable sources say it’s minimal. It would be great to know if you can have oatmeal for breakfast, but Joshi stays clear of this topic. And eggs: in one place he says you can have them three or four times a week; in another place he says you can EAT three or four eggs a week. And on and on. So if you’re a self-starter and you don’t mind wading through this terribly disorganized (on-the-verge-of-random) book and finding the gems within, then it’s for you. If you’re looking for a book to help you all the way through the process, find another detox. This damn book has almost no recipes in it; it gives practical guidance for three weeks of detox in three nearly information-free two-page spreads …

But we do it because it works.

5 Stars It works, it works , it truly works
First of all, this is the first time that i am compelled to write a review. I have been on this detox for about 17 days now and i have lost about 12 pounds. I was looking into detox diets 18 days ago with an intention of finding something that could help me build discipline again that i had couple years ago. I have always believed in healthy way of getting in shape and i know that there are no shortcuts and i don’t even want them because i love the energy part that it brings along. I stumbled over Dr joshi’s Detox diet on google where it listed- things to eat and things to avoid list. I simply started following it the following day and placed an order for this book the 2nd week because i couldn’t understand why he wouldn’t allow nuts,fruits (except bananas),tomatoes and lemons, etc in this detox. But the book took quite some time to get delievered, i just received it couple days ago. I have read almost all of it and the explanation he gives makes a lot of sense. And, now i am a living proof that it works. I just wanted to get disciplined again but it came with shedding few pounds and who would ever mind that. I am going to get married this coming july’09 and i am convinced to continue this longer than just 21 days to loose more pounds. It has not been hard for me at all finding the foods that one can eat on this detox diet. I am very happy that i chose to do this detox and will always take the info that i have gotten from this book and experience for rest of my life. I sure did incorporate some excercise like walking, running, jumping on the trampoline (It is an excellent way for your body to get rid of toxins and easy on your joints. Also, a lot of fun when you dance away your pounds listening to your favourite music.), yoga and stretching. Also, coconut water is an amazing thing. Try it, you will see what i am talking about. By the way, here is the link to how i first got started on this detox programme. I also stumbled over some of the Rawfood diet books (Rawsome, and living cuisine) while doing this detox and i intend on incorporating some of it in my diet after i am off this detox. However, i have no intentions of going totally raw but you never know. You can start the way i did, i just simply followed the rules from this link http://teamsugar.com/group/43626/blog/43933 and, later if you want like i did go ahead and order this book. Good health is a true happiness and i have started to savour it once again in my life. Sorry for writting such a long review but i was compelled to. Go for it……

5 Stars This book changed my life in three weeks!
I read about this book on Gweneth Paltrow’s blog, goop.com. I was skeptical, but gave it a shot.

After three weeks, I feel better, look better, and have more energy than ever. I have lost over 9 pounds in less than 21 days. I will continue with his maintenance plan and follow up on his website. Joshi is brilliant! I highly recommend this to anyone looking to improve health and lose weight.

4 Stars great book but DONT BUY IF YOU LIVE IN THE US!
This is a fab book. however I like in the us and I bought the UK version since its all that was available. And as a result I found out the hard way that this book is made for residents of the UK only. It uses a lot of different slang and language that is uncommon here. And it also has a list of resources of places to shop and workout that obviously wont be good for a us citizen. If you buy it, buy it for the nutrition info only. Otherwise do not buy the imported copy.

5 Stars Liked it, didn’t love it!
I went on this detox with very high expectations. Everyone has a different experience on detoxes because we are all so very different. I lost 5 pounds in the 21 days which I am glad for, but I was hoping to lose more. I experienced more detox symptoms on this program than on any other detox (and I have done many!) I have ever been on. I literally felt and saw toxins leaving my body. No, I did not feel great during this regime at all. I could see and feel a film all over my face and body as I was literally emitting toxins through my pores.

I do feel lighter inside and out after following this program. Honestly though I felt the best when I finally went off the program and ate some berries and citrus fruit. I felt like my body was screaming for them. I attribute my worst day to my own fault as the night before (9 days in) I ate some pasta with regrets. But I quickly returned to the regime and was fine. I DO feel like my palate has changed and found myself eating Salmon and greens (by choice) the day after I ended the program.Joshi’s Holistic Detox I give this detox 5 stars because although I only lost 5 pounds, this is not a diet it’s a detox program and my body definitely detoxed!
