But I think it's very hard to follow and very expensive and time consuming as well. I will try my best. As I go on reading, I noticed that Kimberly forgot that people don't just eat to survive and heal, they eat to enjoy themselves and they have favorite dishes and so on. I made an attempt to try the Glowing Green Smoothie but I couldn't stand it; until I found a local shop that makes organic healthy food and drinks, I tried their green drink and I loved it.
It's way lighter and more bearable to my stomach. In all honesty I'm afraid to try her recipes now, they seems so Foreign to me, the other thing is I'm Arab, we have one of the best cuisines in the world, her food seem to have no flavor, and she doesn't eat meat.
I love the concept of the food, but I'm not sure how easy it is to work it in my life. I might have to edit the recipes. I did feel the glow, and the energy but my body ached for normal and I felt deprived. I can already tell the difference in the way I feel on days when I don't eat meat or dairy, and the days when I do.
Great information for taking care of ourselves. Jan 09, Erika rated it it was amazing. Let me preface this to say that before reading this book, I'd been already mostly following Dr. Furman's "Eat to Live" book, so the Beauty Detox Solution wasn't as much a shock to me as it may be to some. This book gave me quite a bit of new knowledge.
For instance, it is really important to eat certain food Let me preface this to say that before reading this book, I'd been already mostly following Dr. For instance, it is really important to eat certain foods in a certain order fruit or salad before a protein or starch.
Also new to me was to not pair proteins and fats or proteins and carbs together in one meal, for digestive purposes. Kimberly says combining such foods takes more energy to digest, which leaves less energy for our bodies to use on our beauty hair, skin, nails.
I was already having Glowing Green Smoothies for quite some time, months now, as directed by my N. It's an easy way to eat well.
Also, it's a quick way. The idea of eating light meals to heavy meals was also completely opposite of what I've been taught, but my body is responding well to it. I feel much better waiting to be hungry, instead of force-feeding myself right upon waking. The morning liver cleanse really helps!
Also, the recommendation of supplements is terrific. My mom very health-informed has been telling me for years to take a probiotic, and then more recently she recommended me take digestive enzymes, also. Well, these are two supplements highly recommended in this book. Also recommended was a supplement I'd never heard of before: magnesium oxygen.
I will add that to my diet soon. For me, this book was good, as I need help with my health. Jun 15, Dawn rated it it was ok. Don't judge me because I read a diet book--judge me because I only read it based on my favorite celebrity's endorsement. I can't argue with Snyder's overall theme: eat more veggies and fruits, and you'll look better as well as feel better.
If you actually live in rural America, there is no way you have access to coconut oil, miso paste, or organic anything unless you grow it in your back yard. So, yes, if you follow this, you're going to look fantastic like my favorite celebrity. But, if you don't live in Hollywood, you're going to have a hard time finding all the stuff for the recipes, and you probably won't have any social support for deciding to eat like a neo-hippy View 2 comments.

I have to give this girl her props for her congenial dialogue,and tenacious adherance to what I can only describe as dietetic asceticism. I get it that her world travels and experiences have broadened her nutritional knowledge.
I get the science behind her appeals and approach; and the numbers certainly don't lie when you compare the end health results of the typical American or Western diet with those of South Africans,Indians, and Asians. I can even appreciate and gladly incorporate some of he I have to give this girl her props for her congenial dialogue,and tenacious adherance to what I can only describe as dietetic asceticism. I can even appreciate and gladly incorporate some of her program elements and in fact already do into my everyday routine, but the biggest obstacle in converting to any exclusively vegetarian or raw-food diet for me and many other folks is the sheer volume of veggies,fruits,nuts,and legumes required for meeting daily individual caloric needs.
You can completely stuff your gut with greens and fruits at a sitting and that meal will total around calories. THAT, my friends, is hands-down fantastic for revving up your weight loss efforts and achieving optimal nutritional health, BUT may be cost-prohibitive to employ long-term, especially for an entire household unless you own a couple acres, a Vitamix, a Hurom, and a food processor.
The empty stomach can hold around 1 litre of food, and she tries her sweetie-pie best to convince us that we can achieve super-beauty status and stave off real or perceived hunger by downing daily megadoses of "Glowing Green Smoothies or Juice", a few celery sticks, raw rolled oatmeal yuck ,bushels of kale salad and naturally fermented kraut, and a truckload of avocados. I do know from experience that a diet loaded predominantly with bulky, nutrient-dense raw and cooked plant foods,nuts,seeds,and legumes, will trim you down the fastest, lower cholesterol, spike your energy levels, and keep you regular because I have experienced it first-hand.
I was pleasantly surprised by her glowing commendation of and affinity for lactic acid-fermented sauerkraut. I grew up eating homemade "kraut" regularly, and long suspected that the near-sacred presence of it in my grandparents' diet was a key to their longevity.
I guess it's no secret why naturally fermented foods are a boon to health, but I admit I wasn't keen to the bountiful enzymatic and "floral" friends brimming within our family's humble kraut-filled Mason jars. I just knew it paired up well with pinto beans and cornbread. To further sum up, Ms. She has a second book about to be published that purportedly is loaded with even more of her Beauty Detox recipes and counsel.
I admit I won't be a convert any time soon, but whenever I find a better way of doing something I tend to gladly shift gears to accommodate the blessings and benefits to be gleaned, and confidently leave the rest behind. I believe most folks would benefit from incorporating at least some of Ms. Snyder's program into their daily living. Jan 04, Melissa rated it did not like it Shelves: Kimberly Snyder is insane.
I had come across her Glowing Green Smoothie recipe and had been drinking it for breakfast for a few weeks, so I wanted to see what the rest of the program was about. She had me going for about half of the book until she revealed what you cannot eat on this plan: dairy, cereal, pasta, bread, cookies, bagels, soy, peanuts oddly enough, meat is not on the list. I'm already a vegetarian, and I'm pretty vigilant about the quality of the food that I eat, but this is ridic Kimberly Snyder is insane.
I'm already a vegetarian, and I'm pretty vigilant about the quality of the food that I eat, but this is ridiculous! Once you get to the recipe portion of the book strategically hidden away at the very end you realize that all she wants you to eat are greens, avocados and the occasional tomato.
I can see why people stay so skinny on this plan! They don't eat anything! The sad part is that I think she probably has a pretty good point about the food combining and the order in which food should be eaten, but the rest of the program is so restrictive, I don't know how or why anyone would subject themselves to it. Oh well, I guess the glowing green smoothie is all I'm getting out of this. View 1 comment. Really interesting, I'm definitely glad I read it, but not sure I could follow through on the strictest of the recommendations she outlines.

Certainly makes you think more about the affect certain foods will have on your appearance! May 17, Diane rated it liked it. A book that can help me get rid of belly fat and make me look younger? Sign me up! These were 2 of the things that appealed to me when I read this books description.
However, I am realistic, but was still a bit curious. The author's book is about ridding your body of toxins. Once you do this she claims that you will not only feel better, but also that you will be on your way to a more youthful appearance, rid yourself of wrinkles and have healthier hair and nails as well.
The secret she says is A book that can help me get rid of belly fat and make me look younger? The secret she says is "simple diet changes", for some people it may be simpler that for others. The plan is geared toward a Vegan vegetarian diet, claiming that limiting animal protein slows down the aging process which helps you to look younger. However, when I took a look at the 7 Day Blossoming Beauty Menu, it was so restrictive, and just sounded awful, unless you are a fan of spinach smoothies or fermented cabbage to name a few of the terrible things on the plan.
In summary, I did get some good info out of this book, but thought it was just too too restrictive, and some of the items would be difficult to find as well.
It might help slow down the aging process if you started following this plan, or most any healthy eating plan early enough in life, but if your looking for a quick, middle-age fix to a younger you, then I think this plan will be unable to deliver --just my opinion.
Aug 31, Kat rated it it was ok Shelves: non-fiction. I used to follow Kimberly's blog and enjoyed reading her recipes, found I was in line with much of her food philosophy, and liked her yoga posts as well. The title doesn't really speak to me, but I was willing to give it a try to see what the author had to say. A lot of the language was superficial and turned me off sludge, beauties, iffy comparisons to wild animals, etc. I liked the basic tenets of the plan-- eat more veggies, changing your life not all or nothing-- she is very reassuring that I used to follow Kimberly's blog and enjoyed reading her recipes, found I was in line with much of her food philosophy, and liked her yoga posts as well.
I liked the basic tenets of the plan-- eat more veggies, changing your life not all or nothing-- she is very reassuring that it is all fairly easy and you can do this however you like.
Then she starts throwing out the restrictions: BUT you absolutely can't have fruit with anything except veggies, as in the smoothie. Different foods simply must go in these specific orders. It is critical that you get these supplements that I've never heard of before. Just a lot of restrictive and overwhelming guidelines after all this talk about how easy and accommodating the plan is. A lot of the recipes look interesting.
I am saving many of them, and trying to incorporate the idea of eating more salads and raw sauerkraut before meals. She has a video on YouTube making the sauerkraut raw enzyme and probiotic salad, I think she calls it, probably with the word "beauty" in it without miso.
Just the more traditional cabbage and salt. It actually looks super easy, and I am going to try it after being intimidated by what seemed like a lot of work in the past. So: the recipes are interesting many if not all available in her blog archives, though hard to find , her enthusiasm is great, but the diet itself seems kind of overwhelming even for someone who doesn't eat a SAD diet and I don't like the reliance on supplements.

I liked this book on several levels, but overall, its just too restrictive of a plan for me to follow exclusively.
I'm already a vegetarian with strong vegan tendencies and I do eat mostly well, and I still feel like I got a lot of value out of this book. First, I liked that she focuses on plant nutrition and does a lot of explaining as to why certain foods are detrimental to your health and how vitamins and certain supplements can be very helpful.
She's not super preachy and acknowledges that n I liked this book on several levels, but overall, its just too restrictive of a plan for me to follow exclusively.
She's not super preachy and acknowledges that not everyone wants to become a raw vegan. I also really like the focus on eating alkaline and using more greens. I've been doing green smoothies for about 2 months now every day for breakfast and I am starting to see positive results from getting so much more plant food. I use this author's green smoothie recipe, even though I violate her principles by adding hemp protein to the mix.
What I don't like is the food combining theory sorry, but I am not ever going to believe that its bad for me to eat some high quality protein, such as beans, in the middle of the day, or with, gasp, a grain, such as rice or quinoa or the heavy pushing towards a gluten free diet.
I think gluten is fine in moderation. Finally, I really don't love raw food. The author doesn't require it, but its pretty clear by looking at her recipes and eating plan suggestions that she advocates a mostly raw diet. So, I guess I'm settling for a mostly good diet and happy with that. Nov 21, Pamela rated it really liked it. I have to admit, the first part of the book about food combining turned me off. I haven't researched it enough to honestly know what I believe, but I do know it isn't something I could stick to.
