More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
The effects of leading an unhealthy life are all around us: rates of heart and autoimmune diseases are on the rise; reported levels of depression and anxiety are through the roof; and chronic fatigue syndrome is now common place. We feel weighed down and drained, both physically and emotionally. We indulge in alcohol, cigarettes, and "comfort food" to alleviate our pain, only to find that our feelings of lethargy and emptiness intensify. But as holistic chef and cleanse leader, Adina Niemerow demonstrates, we have the ability to reset our body's natural, balanced state by purging ourselves of wasteful diets and toxic lifestyles. For "Super Cleanse", Niemerow has devised 10 comprehensive cleanse experiences that show readers more than just how to lose weight or clear up their skin through detox.
About the Author
Niemerow has worked as a personal holistic chef to many celebrities, including Steve Jobs, Donna Karan, Linda Ronstat, Bob Weir, and Judith Regan, and has worked as a private chef on Hollywood movie sets and in corporate environments teaching about holistic foods and cooking for the likes of Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Moby, Hollywood producers and directors, and many more. She has also worked in renowned restaurants, including French Laundry, and San Francisco's Millineum.

Best cleanses, best receipes, best cleansing book out there!
30 July 2008
Format:Paperback
Super Cleanse is the best book I've ever read or used on cleansing. It is packed with truly delicious recipes for juices and cleansing foods that one can use to cleanse or to also easily incorporate into everyday living. The author makes the process fun and easy. I did the Urban Revitalizer cleanse after being overworked by ongoing business travel, depleted and hooked on coffee and sugar. It was completely amazing. I enjoyed the cleanse more than any other I have ever done because the recipes were delicious, nutritious and sustaining. I lost @ 7 pounds, got off a multiple latte a day habit and felt energized, serene and better than I had in a long time. After studying natural medicine, attending nutrition school and working at a popular vitamin company for the past 10 years, I have read many books on cleansing. This is truly the most useful, inspiring and health promoting cleansing book I have ever read. I highly recommend it for anyone that is interested in cleansing, great tasting healthy recipes or increasing their overall health!

Cleanse as you Go
8 Aug 2008
Format:Paperback
After purchasing this book in June, I did the Urban detox and lost 5 pounds, gained better sleep and just felt a lot more energized. Where does the bloat go? I don't know, but within 2 days my stomach was flatter than it had been in a long time and with no crunches!
I have to do a lot of travel for work and I brought the book along - it's the perfect size and weight - on my next trip. I found I could actually use some of the day fasts and other plans while on the road. Instead of gaining weight due to odd hours working and being away from my own kitchen, I actually lost 3 pounds over a 10 day trip. I LOVE this book. There is variety, great tasting foods and I feel like I'm learning how to keep my body in tune. It's not all clinical and it really is kind of fun to try out the different regimes. I know they are safe, well researched and tested and that Adina Niemerow knows what she's doing. This is no fad approach. You can use the ideas and cleanses in this book in your real life. It's so much easier than I thought to really learn how to live and eat a better way. And who doesn't want to lose the bloat and unbalanced feeling you get from travel, stress and "holiday" (ok, weekend party) eating and festivities? Try this with some friends. It's easy and really can be fun!

Definitely beneficial
5 Feb 2009
Format:Paperback
Any one who says that the recipes are tasty, well, that just isn't true. Then again, I'm comparing that to a juicy a BBQ bacon cheeseburger, fries and strawberry shake. But then, let's be honest, it's the BBQ bacon cheeseburger, fries and strawberry shake that got me into my current "situation" (read: fat lazy slob) in first place.
Yes, she definitely has colorful stories and everything is very insightful and seems well researched. Additionally, she understands there is no "one-size fits all" approach and thus offers several options to cleansing. So how did my cleanse work for me?
Very well. My wife and I did the 5 day Winter cleanse. It was rough. Personal will power is a key component to success and without my wife lending me some of hers, I would not have made it through. After the second day, we were weak, had violent headaches, irratible... not fun people to be around. Of course, this is because we were withdrawling. After fighting through it, we really saw a lot of beneficial effects: My skin was less oily and had a very healthy hue, my mind was very focused (I could wake up in the morning and understand astrophysics), I lost 15 pounds in 5 days.
The drawbacks to the cleanse: The withdrawl is terrible but a very necessary step, the taste of some of those juices is god-awful (why must good tasting food be so bad for you?), I was very fatigued, even after the withdrawl -- though not mentally as stated above.
My wife and I did this cleanse because we wanted to get a jumpstart on a healthy lifestyle after a gluttonous holiday season. I mentioned I lost 15 pounds, I put five back almost immediately and have since (with healthy eating and exercise) lost that 5 and then some all in about a month.
Why only 4 stars if the book did what it said? Simple, I'm very hard to impress.
