worth the time to at least read chapter one

I've often been attracted to fasting over the years, partly because of being fat, but mostly as a spiritual discipline and practice. However i have also been singularly unable to properly do it, never lasting more than 4 days. That won't start me from continuing to try, only a warning that i can not practice what they are preaching. So, in anticipation of trying again, more consistently, over a longer period of time (not fasting but attempting to make fasting part of my lifestyle) i emptied the local public library's shelves of books on fasting, juicing and the like. I read the first, last and skim the rest of the book when they come in the front door, or make a good attempt to do so. This book struck me then as being heads and shoulders above the rest, it is literally the only one of the pile i'd actually recommend reading. First, she is just simply a passionate and interesting writer, in her case practicing what she preaches consistently over the years. Second, she is aware of the spiritual dimension not just of herself and people but of the topic-fasting. None of the other books even gave it (spiritual dimension) a passing note, except in one case that referenced fasting as a buddhist spiritual pathway. It is a significant part of the book, of her practice and i think of the topic in general. Even in our materialistic age, fasting as a spiritual discipline, as a spiritual exercise is obvious enough to at least warrant attention. The book is half way between a polemic and a how to do book. It's first priority is to relax people and lead them into her particular 3 day fasting program. To take us by the hand, convince us that reading the book is just a first however good and necessary step, only that a first step, the second step is to commit to doing it. If the idea just stays in her book, without anyone practicing it, she will have counted the book a lose. The how to do section is mostly step by step, chapter by chapter introduction to the why and how of her fasting program, with attention paid to keeping a journal and asking yourself sets of related questions as you go along. It is advice like keeping a journal (i think one of the most important things a person can do, to talk to themselves through time in a systematic way), doing particular kinds of juices during different parts of the day and of the fast, silence, bathing, exercise etc that are the reasons this book is superior to the average one i picked from the shelves. It's specificity, its instructions borne of experience, the structure inherent in following her particular plan for a 3 day fast. These beat the rest of the genre hands down with their generalities and nonspecific friendly advice. Its a breezy read, i practiced my speed reading techniques on it, if you are going to do her fast, you'll need your own copy, the organization is by the day of the fast. The best part of the book is probably the 1st chapter "Take my life, please" which is her story and how she got to where

Just What I Needed!

I decided to do the 3-Day Energy Fast right after New Year's. It was exactly what I needed after the holidays. During the three days, I felt great mentally and spiritually. Physically, I experienced some caffeine withdrawal (which is addressed in the book)that passed without too much discomfort. What I really liked about the book was the way that Serure not only provided me with recipes and menus for the three days of drinking juices and vegetable broth, she also included suggestions for meditations, walks and journalling. This was truly a mind-body-spirit experience! And, I was not hungry at all during the fast. My only criticism of the book is that it does not provide the reader with enough information about how to change eating habits after the fast is complete. While Serure does address what to eat immediately following the fast, I would have liked more information about how to change eating habits on an ongoing basis.

Changed my life!

You read this statement over and over from people in this book and it really is true. Some of the things in it I thought were odd at first, but I did them anyway. I feel calmer and happier than I have in over a year. I feel for the first time I have a handle on my life and my weight. I lost 125 pounds 3 years ago and have kept it all off but the 25 pounds I gained back 2 years ago. I have struggled so much to keep control of my life and my weight. This book helped me not only to lose the weight, but to keep my weight EASILY stable-and more than that-much more-it helped me to work out some tremendous personal problems, get things I've wished for and made me a better person by 100%. If you ever buy any book on fasting/self improvement, it must be this one. The weight loss you'll experience is such a small thing compared to the other things that you'll learn that will truely change your life for good!

This book is it for the new spriritual era.

This book has changed my life entirely. It has given me courage to go on. It has filtered my brain and my body. The zest for life to go on has been derived from all the natural organic juices Pamela mentions in her book. A MUST FOR EVERY HOUSEHOLD!

Life-changing

Pamela's book is supberb. It's an excellent foundation for those who want to take charge of their lives and make monumental changes in a short period of time. After reading and following the plan outlined in Pamela's book your life will never be the same. All those who have never fasted, or who would like to fast and don't know how should start with Pamela's book. I tired the book and it worked for me and 6 other girlfriends. The alter, meditation and prayer really work. Thanks Pamela
