This book changed my life:
This book changed my life. From my first experience with the weekly fast to my most recent three day fast, I have enjoyed a vitality that I never knew. What a blessing the information in this book provides. Costs nothing, you lose weight and your body thanks you for giving it time to heal itself. I have shared it with many friends and their experiences have been similar. Thank you Patricia Bragg.

The Miracle of fasting!:
I have read many books on fasting but none as good as this one, Not only does Paul Bragg take a stand for his faith he tells it like it is! The challenge I have always had with authors, is one simple fact...they rarely are an example of practice what they preach! This is the exact opposite of the Bragg family and they do it well! I believe that if you are challenged in any area, spirit mind or body, that you must take the advice of Paul & Patricia Bragg to heart. I accomplished a 70-day juice fast four years ago and thought I had all the answers! It wasn't till I took an afternoon to digest (no pun intended) the truthful and loving words of this book that I regained that faith. I started my first 3 day "true" water fast the next day. On another note...I was shocked at the "great" price of this book and believe every home should skip one trip to the fast food joint and use the money more wisely... GO FOR IT...I did!!!

Can starving be good for you?:
Can starving be good for you? Your mother will probably tell you, "oh darling, what is it you ate today, why don't you come home for dinner...", yet read on. I read this book in Russian translation, back when I was 20. That was in 1984, Moscow, Russia. After I read it, I regularly fasted, 36 hours every Friday or Saturday, and did a few 3-day sessions. After 4-5 years, I stopped regular fasting, and now am looking to start again. The book will tell you about some of the wonderful effects of fasting, and that it must be done with care. You may feel bad on your first tries, and if you feel really bad, don't be a hero: bail out. Try again when you can. Most importantly, don't eat anything heavy (meat, bread, etc.) for a day or two before, and then after the fasting session. Steamed vegetables work best for me. The effects of fasting when done properly (and it's not difficult), are: improved senses (hearing, sight, touch, taste), peace of mind and calmness, sense of humor (yeah baby!), disappearance of worries, improved confidence, sense of purpose in life. Your skin will get smoother and tighter, your eyes - clearer and brighter, teeth - whiter, your energy level will shoot through the roof. You will feel way better about yourself, and you will find that more people are getting attracted to you and staring at you in public places. And that's just the side effects of what I guess you could call - I don't know - happiness? This isn't of course a universal answer to all problems. It's just one of the possible ways, one of the steps, but very effective, very powerful, if not the most effective out there. It helped me, big time, to become a champion of then-USSR (remember USSR?) in robotic break-dance, for several years in a row. Sounds too good to be true? Try it, and do it regularly. Can't promise you a break-dance championship, but other good things will surely come your way. A.

Bragg Healthy Lifestyle is the real deal:
I'm a very big fan of how easily Patricia Bragg can communicate with the reader. Throughout this entire book, she finds subtle ways of telling us how bad stress, meats, bad water, and other toxic things are bad for us. She goes into detail on virtually every one of these toxic things. This book is outlined nicely, although the ideas are somewhat scatterbrained. It's nice though, because it jumps from one idea to the next, so you don't get bored about reading the same kind of topic over and over. It'll go from something like how Conrad Hilton overcame disease, to how fasting rejuvinates the mind, body, and soul, back to how we need to keep our 'pipes clean'. I would recommend this book to everyone who values their health in any way.

Blah ....Blah...Blah:
I bought this book a while back , mainly to be a companion to Paul's earlier book. Ok it was thicker and newer. And I was disappointed. the older version written by Paul Bragg is much better. It gets right to the point and Paul tells of his own fasting stories and those of others. Bottom line is the older ,smaller and maybe cheaper version is much better. It may be had to find However.
