Juicing has changed my life beyond all recognition. I know it’s a cliché when people say this or that changed their life, but I can say with total confidence that without juicing my life would be radically different from what it is today.
Before I got into juicing I used to smoke 40–60 cigarettes a day; I liked my drink (as they say); I was more than partial to the odd bit of junk(ie) food, and, as a result, I was also fat. On top of that I had severe asthma to the point where I had to use both the blue and brown inhalers and was having 10–16 puffs a day on them. I also developed eczema, mild acne, bad hay fever, and very, very severe psoriasis. In short, I wasn’t exactly in the best of health and my energy levels were often right through the floor.
I am now in the fortunate position of being free from smoking, drinking, and junk food. My asthma has vanished, my eczema and acne have gone, my psoriasis has cleared by over 95%, and I am no longer overweight. In fact, on the health front I’m one happy camper!
I am now also lucky to be able to help people who find themselves in a similar position to the one I was in. Since the launch of my first book, Slim for Life: Freedom from the Diet Trap, I have been blessed with tens of thousands of letters and e-mails from all over the world from people who have made incredible changes to their health and lives.
My previous book, Turbo-Charge Your Life in 14 Days, exceeded all expectations when it reached number three on Amazon.co.uk (Harry Potter took the first two spots). It was written about in virtually every magazine as well as being discussed on TV and radio to the extent that several radio hosts followed the program themselves and reported on their progress to the listeners.
The success of that book led to some of the most amazing letters about life-changing experiences I have ever had—from people who not only lost an amazing amount of weight but, more importantly, who found that their lives had changed for good, and not just for the two weeks. They had set out to do a quick 14-day plan to lose some weight and get a little healthier, only to find that their eating habits and lifestyle changed for good.
