"Juice It to Lose It" by Joe Cross is a refreshing and motivational guide to rejuvenate the body and shed excess weight through the power of juicing. As the creator of the acclaimed documentary "Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead," Cross brings his wealth of experience and knowledge to this comprehensive book. The author introduces a practical and accessible juicing program designed to kickstart a healthy lifestyle.

Cross doesn't just focus on weight loss; he emphasizes the transformative impact of nutrient-rich juices on overall well-being. The book provides a well-rounded approach, offering not only delicious juice recipes but also practical tips for incorporating exercise and maintaining a balanced diet. Cross's engaging writing style, coupled with personal anecdotes, makes the journey towards health feel both achievable and enjoyable.

What sets "Juice It to Lose It" apart is its emphasis on sustainable habits and long-term health rather than quick fixes. The book serves as a valuable resource for anyone seeking a positive change in their life, guiding them step by step towards a healthier, more vibrant self. Whether you're a juicing novice or a seasoned enthusiast, Cross's book offers a compelling blend of inspiration and practical guidance.

I wasn't expecting to like this book as much as I did. I think it was the conversational tone, as though I were sitting down at the author's kitchen table, that drew me in. In addition to the recipes, there is plenty of good advice on how to lead a healthier life, but in a friendly rather than a commanding way.
