Amazon.com Review
"Protecting our beauty begins in our youth and continues throughout every age and stage of life," says Anne Louise Gittleman, author of Beyond Pritikin, Super Nutrition for Menopause, and several other books. The answer, however, isn't anything you can buy at the cosmetics counter. "The right nutrition, internal cleansing, and hormonal harmony are the pathways to attaining natural beauty and vitality," says Gittleman. Following her program is not an easy task--you'll be carting supplements from the health food store and warily reading ingredient labels on every item that comes into your house or near your face. Her Living Beauty regimen is based on seven "beauty fundamentals": - a cleansed, detoxed system
- purified water
- powerful proteins
- beautifying oils
- energizing, immune-boosting veggies and fruits
- revitalizing vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants
- balanced hormones
Her major recommendation is to undergo a "seasonal cleanse" four times a year--not a fast, but a diet rich in lean protein, certain oils, and seasonal, organic fruits and vegetables; eliminating sugar, caffeine, alcohol, and white-flour products; and taking herbal teas, cranberry juice, and a "super green food supplement." Each season gets its own chapter with its own specific food choices. Gittleman also gives detailed beauty tips for different life stages, strategies for detoxifying your emotions, and chemicals to avoid in cosmetics and household products. --Joan Price
Product Description
SPRING -- time to rejuvenate. Leafy green vegetables, dandelion root tea, dill, mint, and chlorophyll-rich parsley cleanse the system, balance energy, and aid digestion. SUMMER -- an active season. Rose hips tea, garlic, cayenne pepper, and oregano, along with the Living Beauty Elixir, promote vitality, make the heart strong, and increase nutrient absorption. AUTUMN -- time for inward reflection and preparation for the darkness of winter. Fenugreek tea and warming foods and spices like cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg protect the lungs, aid in elimination, and boost the immune system, leaving you with vibrant skin. WINTER -- a season of stillness and rest. Getting enough sleep and eating cooked or warm foods spiced with ginger sustains body heat and immunity.

 WOW - A BEAUTIFUL BOOK THAT HAS IT ALL - DIET AND DETOX! February 21, 2000
137 out of 139 found this review helpful
I first read about Ann Louise's Two Week Fat Flush on iVillage where it was getting over 5 million hits a month. I tracked the program down to The Living Beauty Detox Program and am so happy I did. This program and her seasonal detox programs really work. I have been on the Two Week Fat Flush for 10 days and plan to continue it for another 10 days. My inches have come off my tush and buttocks - places where I could never reduce before. Besides, I am not hungry and am not EVEN TEMPTED by sweets anymore. I am a true believer and hope this woman does news letters in the future.

My husband bought this book for me for my birthday. I have been doing the Two Week Fat Flush in preparation for the Spring Cleanse. I have lost 5 inches from my thighs so far. I AM NOT EVEN LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO EAT, WHAT A MIRACLE. I keep this book next to my bed because the quotes in front of each chapter are so inspiring. Well Done..

What a valuable and exciting book to learn how to have beauty from the inside out. There are so many helpful ideas to look prettier and become healthier at the same time. I love the simplicity of the detox diet plans. I have started the one for Spring and I already look five years younger. I have had the opportunity to meet Ann Louise on several occasions and she is a living example of this program - she has flawless skin and looks about 25 years old. Ann Louise is a gifted author with a knack for finding the latest and best information to help me stay healthy. This book is a must read and must do. I am telling all my friends about it.

I read The Living Beauty Detox Program and began the outlined programs approximately two months ago. I start every day with the "Living Beauty Elixer" and fiber cleanse supplement recommended in the book. This book establishes specific detox and diet programs for every season as well as an overall system detox called the Fat Flush. This program has been extremely successful for me and I continue to feel better every day without any major detoxification side effects! The Living Beauty Detox Program is an excellent read and is complete in its recommendations and how-tos. A definite MUST READ for anyone concerned with their well-being and overall health.

I am suspicious of most books on natural nutrition and diet because they either promote 1)a quick fix or 2) a grin and suffer attititude; but this book is special. I find that my diet ebbs and flows, and this detox plan works perfectly with those natural tendencies. After a 2 week detox, I go to the maintenace plan which (for me) has a tendency to gradually fall apart. But alas, I am saved by the next seasonal detox diet. This program allows me to continually pull myself back together. I also appreciate the vitamin and mineral reference; my health food store is now becoming a place I can navigate through. I've found my path.
