The Beauty Detox Foods: Discover the Top 50 Superfoods That Will Transform Your Body and Reveal a More Beautiful You

I started Kimberly's Glowing Green Smoothies 20 days ago and my elbows are now as soft as my 10 year old son's elbows. Neither salt and sugar scrubs nor lotions did the trick before (my elbows were rough and dark for at least a decade as I am cruising into mid-life). But Kimberly's program, so easily read and understood in the Beauty Detox Foods, outlines changes you can incorporate into your food plan to begin getting results like baby soft elbows, weight loss, energy, great eliminations, relief of digestion disturbances, etc.Those salt and sugar cravings I had going in my diet (I was not just using salt and sugar on my elbows LOL) are diminishing too. I had this huge craving for dairy and at the start thought this program sounded way too strict for me. I felt like I would still allow dairy in my diet (I'm a vegetarian). But after two weeks, the craving went away on its own and I now have had a tiny bit of goat cheese once in one week. I'm blown away by that. So, for the people that say whole food groups like dairy, meat, etc. are being cut out: Well, 1. They probably shouldn't be considered food groups in the first place and 2. Once you're eating more healthfully, your body doesn't even want them anyway. Beautiful health is at hand if you simply follow some of Kimberly's principles.This book has even more sound and verified nutritional information than her first book, more of her delicious recipes (I crave just her GGS every morning but did transition with oatmeal for a little over a week, the veggie burger recipe is a super hit with the son and hubby (Dad is a meat eater) with son saying, "These are better than Trader Joes!", nut pate is divine and elegant, have tried many salad recipes and perhaps twisted them slightly with what I had on hand.) very simple outlines to follow as closely or loosely as your day allows, and one of my favorite aspects of the book are the gorgeous color photos of prepared recipes and Kimberly in her glowing gorgeousness. She is true proof that her program gets results.I have to tell you that I became "introduced" to Kimberly by my friend that showed me a magazine article of Kimberly looking her beautiful self and doing this flipped over back-bend on hand-stand yoga pose. We both agreed that we were well beyond her in years and capacity of ever reaching a mile-wide smile or Cirque de Soleil abilities. And I bypassed on the article. But curiosity got the better of me and soon I was on her website and buying her first book The Beauty Detox Solution from Amazon. One day and I was hooked into incorporating more and more in a slow but sure manner. I still don't think I will ever be able to do that flexible and strong of a yoga pose but you know what? My own yoga, which I have been practicing for a year, improved last week and I was able to do poses I had never been able to do before. I love all this proof that something is working and not just on a scale. (I have lost fat too. Yay!)I ordered The Beauty Detox Foods on Amazon and got three copies, knowing I would easily give two away for gifts. They arrived with black marks on them but a quick erasing with my son's white eraser got them back to pristine quality. Yesterday, I presented a copy to my step-daughter and she was really excited by it and immediately found some recipes she wants to try. I will be ordering even more for friends as this information is just too good and easy to keep to yourself. I think it would be wonderful if Kimberly's next book would be one for kids with a "Kimmy" caricature.If there was ever ten bucks that could be spent wisely towards your health, it's by buying Kimberly's book. I really think most people will find something in it that will enhance their life. Some people are not willing to change one bit, but if you think you can try a few different things here or there and incorporate a bit more over time, go for it! With my best wishes to you for beautiful health and glowing happiness in your life.

I have to admit, I was skeptical. I was a science major, have been on the up and up with human biology and nutrition for years, have been eating a plant based diet for 19 years, most of these vegan.... and the title of her first books, "Beauty" Detox Solutions, made me think that maybe this was just another pretty girl claiming to know how to transform you into a pretty girl too with the latest fad diet. However, I gave the book a chance and WOW... I mean, it was no placebo, the tweaks I made to my diet by following her guidelines did the trick to make me see an almost IMMEDIATE difference. And once you stick with it, you definitely see an immediate difference if you fall off the wagon!!! Here I am, 35 and 110lbs thinking she had nothing new to say and that I was as healthy as I could get, and I can tell you, if you are considering buying Kimberly Snyder's books, DO IT! I never realized how drained I was until I followed her diet guidelines, I didn't see how my soy latte a day was me being dependent on the highs from caffeine. I gave up coffee completely and bring my own high quality herbal tea to work now, yet I have WAY more energy than before. I'm a working single mother supporting us entirely solo, I'm starting my own business in fair trade, AND I practice yoga and am going through teacher training on the side....and believe it or not, KIMBERLY SNYDER alone is to thank for the fact that I can keep up the pace!!! I have NEVER had as much natural and consistent energy as I do now. I find it easier to stay emotionally positive, so I think her diet guidelines can also help your mood! Also, I'm no Julia Child, in fact, the running joke in my family is my lack of cooking skills, but with Kimberly's book I find it INSPIRING to prepare food, for the first time in my life!!!! And I start every single morning with her Glowing Green Smoothie. Since this transformation I have had people I don't know asking about my hair, my energy and brightness, etc....I lost count how many times I have written down Kimberly Snyder's book for people! My digestion is normal for the first time in my life, my hair is finally loosing the straw-like texture, and my yoga practice has become stronger than ever. I will forever follow her blogs and buy her books....in fact, I bought 3 of her old one to give away, and 3 of this title so that I had a couple lending copies...now I am just waiting for her to write a kids recipe book, or a book about her world travels. This girl is LEGIT too, she's SO much more than just some pretty girl who tells celebrities how to eat, she's strong, she roughed it around the world and is a true yogini! I love her so much. I can't say enough good things about this book. You'll be selling yourself short if you didn't get it.

I didn't expect any less from this book. I love all the color, and as for another commenter's thoughts on too many photos of Kimberly, I really enjoyed them. It is nice to see her so happy with such clear skin and looking so healthy in such simple environments. She is inspiring. This book is truly gorgeous. It was a really smooth read. I finished it the day it came, and way to go Amazon on that 2-day shipping, getting it to me the day it released! I was beyond excited to get this book, and I really don't feel disappointed at all. I think the recipes look great, especially the Portabello Mushroom Burgers, Green Spring Vegetable Risotto, Lasagna Supreme, Gluten Free Pizza, Sweet Potato Shepherd's Pie, Black Bean Burritos with Spicy Red Sauce and Spinach Basil Polenta with Creamy Sauce. I bought 3 books, so I got her 10 bonus beauty foods and recipes. We tried the Italian Stuffed Mushrooms, and they were a hit as well as quick and easy. I also made her Creamy Dijon Tahini Dressing today and I am in love! I dipped carrot sticks in it and ate it over a simple Kale and Sprouts salad. It is delicious! I can't wait to try some of the other recipes from the book. They are all quick, simple and full of extremely nutritious ingredients that can be found at my local grocery store. Also, my toddler loves the food! :) It helps that these were some of his first foods, but I definitely think these are all family friendly foods. Kimberly Snyder's books helped my husband and I to lose a combined 152 pounds so far. We are continuing on with our journey after one year, and we will never look back. We have literally had people tell us they didn't even recognize my husband because he looks like a totally different person, and one lady told me I was doing the opposite of aging. How awesome is that?!
