The 30-Day Faith Detox: Renew Your Mind, Cleanse Your Body, Heal Your Spirit

I was admittedly skeptical about whether I could make the types of health changes I needed to make to lose weight, reduce health issues and impact the health of my whole family. When I heard about this book I was curious about whether I could make a commitment to 30 days of detox from an eating perspective as well as complete the daily devotionals. Honestly I thought if I couldn't do the food part of the detox that at least the spiritual detox would do me some good. The great news is that I not only completed the daily devotionals which are very thought provoking and biblically sound - but also completed the dietary commitment! During the 30 days, I lost 10 lbs - not because I stopped eating, but because I changed what I was eating. Some of the reviews express concern about the time commitment... I am a career women working full time and was able to complete the detox - you can do it! and it is worth it!! Now - several months later - I am continuing with the changes in eating habits that helped me lose the original 10 lbs plus 2 more.Eating healthy is a choice and this book plus faith and determination makes it possible! I highly recommend it for you and your family.Update - 1 year later:A year ago, I did the The 30-Day Faith Detox and as a result changed many things about how I cook and what we eat. I have not perfectly complied post the 30 days, but I wanted to encourage folks who are trying to improve their health to look at food instead of medications. A year later, my health metrics have improved tremendously - cholesterol from 194 to 140, pre-diabetic to Normal, thyroid - reducing my medication (looking forward to eliminating it under my Dr's care of course). If you are looking for solutions for your Mind, Body, Spirit, check out The 30-Day Faith Detox. We are doing this again now and hope to see continued improvements! -thank you Laura Harris Smith!

This is my first time writing a review on any product, therefore this means alot to me. I thank the authors for this book. I am on Day 9 of my detox and so far I am enjoying ' most days'. Realize I get a bit cranky because I can't eat other foods that I love. I have to keep reminding myself that this process is for a good reason. I am being disciplined now which is good. I enjoy the daily devotionals, I have been learning some new things however some are reminders and reinforcement for me. There have been two challenges for me and I hope the author can provide some guidance. 1. I live in the Caribbean and some of the fruits and vegetables are not common. I always wonder if I could substitute what we have in season based on the section colors 2. I have not been fortunate to take time off from work and some days I am unable to prepare the juices. Instead I try to eat the recommended fruits instead. However juicing and eating the amount specified is totally different when you take into consideration the amount to be consumed if you're eating. Apart from that, looking forward to the days ahead. I will update my comments after I complete the 30 days.

I'm in the middle of the detox right now and want to say THIS IS TOTALLY DO-ABLE! My husband and I are doing the Detox together and have 4 small children. While more work goes into the buying and preparing of food than we are used to, it is do-able because we have more energy and are feeling great. We're never really hungry, because the prescribed foods keep us plenty full. The author obviously put a lot of effort into the smoothie recipes. The ingredient combinations look so strange but really taste GREAT! I look forward to the smoothie every morning. Also, the devotionals are deep and impactful without being heavy or long. I love this author! I've also read "Seeing the Voice of God" and got this detox book because I enjoyed reading Laura Harris Smith so much. Her writing is transparent, humble, and wise...very wise. We are feeling great and know we are making new habits and kicking old ones every day through this Detox.

Well I just completed my 30 days. I was looking for a faith building book specifically and am glad I got the hard copy verses the kindle version as there is much going back and forth on grocery lists etc. . Being a lacto-ova vegetarian for over 30 years, I thought this would be a walk in the park with regard to the diet (I know it's not a "diet" book but any dramatic change of eating is a change of diet). It was not a walk in the park but it was an overall worthwhile journey. I will give you the pros and cons...Pros- I really underestimated my coffee addiction and how it was affecting me physically and spiritually. after getting past day 3 I saw a huge difference in my stress level and alertness in the mornings. Those first 3 days were tough for me and those around me. I don't think I will go back to coffee on a regular basis. Spiritually I spend more quiet time with God and devoted this process to time with Yom Kippur as that is always a special season for me spiritually (I am Messianic). I dropped 7 lbs which I was hoping for 10 total but with some of the changes I will keep going forward with my diet, should be easy to attain. Loved the smoothies, I will keep with that for mornings.Cons- I love to cook and found some ways to make some of the dishes more varied but would like to see the author provide more recipes/options so the "sameness" isn't a roadblock for some. Chop, chop, chop. I spent so much time chopping. the devotionals were mostly good but I would have liked more scripture/life application and less about the authors past.Overall a very good investment in time.

I love this book and can not wait to put it into effect in my life.

Esta bien pero es un libro americano con recetas americanas y medidas americanas, resulta difícil si no estas muy familiarizado con sus medidas y tendrás que hacer como yo mirarlo todo en interneto hacerlo a ojo. los ingredientes a veces son difíciles de encontrar.Los devocionales son interesantes

I am amazed by this book. I am so thankful to God for Laura Smith's life! I have been so blessed! Thank you Laura for this book. It changed my life.
