Awesome, inspiring book
I have been a fan of Rainbeau's yoga DVD's for quite some time, over 8 years at least. I live in an area that doesn't offer much in the way of yoga studios so I have always had to rely on DVD's/Be Fit on youtube to learn and practice and always fell back to Rainbeau over other popular instructors, you just can't beat her demeanor. I've always been very physical by my diet was somewhat lacking. It wasn't until this past year that after dealing with severe dry eye syndrome and some other small aliments (I'm in my early 40's) that I found it necessary to try to take charge and change my eating and drinking lifestyle. I've made changes by incorporating a vegetarian/vegan diet to start and gradually weaning to vegan. I love info and knew about her mom's cookbook Rawsome so I downloaded just to see what it's about. That was an eye opener with a plethora of information. I'm on Rainbeau's email list so I knew her book was coming out but didn't know if I had the dedication to follow through with a cleanse as such. After reading Rawsome, I was so inspired I pre-ordered Rainbeau's book to see if it really is something I can make work for me.The book arrived on Thursday and by Saturday morning I had read the book cover to cover and have started at the beginning again. What a source of sound information! Rainbeau is so knowledgeable, everything she states just makes common sense. I'm gearing up to start my 21 days this weekend, had to stock up on some items. Reading this book just makes you want to be healthy and live a healthy lifestyle without sacrifice. I'm not saying I can follow the program 100% but I will try to do the best I can and then give it another go and hopefully advance to the more advanced week 3's. This is not a one time read, I feel like this is a book I will come back to, time and time again for all kinds of information besides the 3 week cleanse process. As my husband says, look at her, she looks radiant and is the epitome of health. She's doing something right!

Love it
So first I should point out that I've been a whole food plant based vegan for a couple years, so that eating style is normal for me which helped make this an easy book to follow. If you don't, there may be a learning curve about some of the ingredients and it will be a little pricier to do since you likely won't have most of these items already in your pantry. I did not have some of the more exotic super food powders, but found them easily on amazon. They weren't too pricey, and I have lots of them leftover after the 3 weeks so I'm still adding them to my own creations. I loved this plan as I've been playing with my nutrition over the last couple of years. I am usually pretty heavy on grains and legumes so this was perfect for me to try out a more fat based nutrition plan (nuts/seeds). I started this program after a 5 day Fasting Mimicking Diet by Valter Longo and my body was in heaven. I lost 10 pounds during the fast and it stayed off with this program following it. It was the perfect clean transition back into food. I did not try every recipe as I meal planned to be cost effective, but let me tell you that raw strawberry pie is pure bliss! There are a lot of really good recipes, so I'm going to eventually try them all out. A note on the raw coconut smoothies, if you don't eat this regularly DO NOT FOLLOW THAT RECIPE, it will be WAY too much and you'll get sick. I think this program also reset my taste buds. After not having anything processed for so long, I found I didn't even want it anymore. I broke my 'after lunch piece of chocolate' habit. Food starts to taste the way it is supposed to after all the chemicals have left your system.

Can't read it.
When this book was downloaded onto my Kindle, I looked it up and the print is so faint and so tiny that I cannot even read it. Is there a remedy for this problem? Can't rate it until I've read it. Thank you. Brenda Kimberly

I am glad I got this book
I am glad I got this book. Rainbeau Mars has such a compassionate heart it really shines through in this book. I like the options she gives to the reader to let go of bad habits and shift into a more healthy lifestyle. Her approach comes from experience so it is woven with inspirational energy. There is so much the book has to offer. I feel anyone that is looking for a reboot can benefit from this read. Thanks Rainbeau!

I'm revived and alive!
Rainbeau Mars is an incredible representation of health, beauty, fitness and vibrant living! I purchased the 21 day cleanse book thirsty for ways to become more mindful of my body and the things I put into it. I have to say that in three weeks that I read and followed the recipes, yoga and spiritual exercises, I became a more clear-minded, happy-hearted, self-aware person. I felt I enjoyed simple things more, like a beautify prepared and well seasoned vegetable. I was able to have the energy and patience to be a better and more connected mother. And finally, I looked and felt better - my skin cleared, the whites of my eyes became whiter, I had more energy, I lost the last pesky pounds that I held on to from pregnancy, found a new depth in my faith and spirituality, and I felt at peace. I will keep this book close to me always and of course share all that it taught me. Thank you Rainbeau!

Beautiful book, inspires change on every level.
My first impression, upon unwrapping this book from Amazon, was "Wow this is a big fat book (there is no skimping on content)...and then...wow, look at these full-color pages full of amazing photos, vivid colors, and inspirational quotes." The organization and presentation is superb, yes... but the real jewels lie inside. I do know a lot about healthy eating, and at first was unsure if I really needed another health book. But I'm extremely happy I bought it--it's the whole package, a lifestyle--that is communicated. It's not just the insightful tidbits of nutrition & recipes that are generously sprinkled throughout the book, but it's how the pieces integrate into a whole. I really hope that this ideal for beauty and health becomes more prevalent and visible in mainstream media. Rainbeau is the perfect picture of vibrant health on all levels!p.s. As an recovering addict of air-popped popcorn, I was thriled to find a recipe for raw popcorn. Loving it, thanks Rainbeau.
