Extract from the introduction

Once I'd discovered that the secret to a fantastic life was to detox my world, I can only describe the subsequent changes I experienced as magical. I became my natural weight, lost all sight of depression, gained a new outlook and direction in life. For the first time ever in my life I was truly happy, healthy and wise.

It's the wisdom I've learned that I want to share with you in this book. You might find some of the facts unbelievable -- if you do, try out my accompanying suggestions and make notes on how you feel. That's the only way to know whether to believe I've really found the secret to living life joyfully and in harmony.

When I realised this wasn't just a physical journey I began to take an interest in yoga, which took me further on my own personal development path than I thought possible. I also discovered a simple set of ancient exercises used by Tibetan Buddhist Monks which really do turn back the clock, and I share those here with you, too.

What you have in your hands is everything that I've learned about detoxing naturally. A natural detox is important, as it keeps us in an "earth rhythm" that stops us feeling separate and isolated from all around us. Many of today's problems in our society (and increasingly the whole world) stem from feelings of disconnection. Re-establishing that connection with nature gives us more power to live the life we've always wanted, while creating a sustainable and responsible way of living.

Why detox?

If you've eaten a typical western diet (meat or vegetarian) all your life, you will have taken in more toxins than your body can remove. Eventually, you may start to feel under the weather or ill. The illness can take many forms, such as acne, arthritis, depression, heart disease, lethargy, menstrual pains etc, but the cause remains the same: your body contains too many toxins and is struggling to expel them, because it wasn't designed to deal with such a high intake on a permanent basis.

By lightening your diet and other toxins that surround you, you allow your body more freedom to remove stored toxins.

Your body will thank you by giving you more energy, healing itself of diseases, and clearing your brain so that it's cobweb-free.

The beauty of eating this way

When detoxing, you are not denied lovely food. If you like, you can even have pudding for every meal! Eating your favourite fruits, getting massaged, having saunas, swimming, playing and practising yoga sounds more like a pampering health farm than a strict regime, doesn't it?

Eating detox food is certainly not going to make you feel confined to a life sentence of boring food and hard exercise. I will reveal how this simple way of life can provide you with great health benefits as you read through the sections of this chapter. As you eat more food which has a built in feel-good factor, it becomes easier to believe that it's possible for you to step into your magnificence.

Fibre, protein, cabbages and eggs!

I grew up amongst the F-Plan, Weight Watchers, Slimming Club, The Grapefruit Diet, The Egg Diet, Slim-Fast and The Cabbage Soup Diet. At any time, at least one member of my family or friends was trying them out. Most of them lost weight. None of them kept the weight off. I quietly observed the yo-yoing of my loved ones, while pondering "There must be a better way".

These days we have the Atkin's, Zone and Blood Type diets. We also have many dieters thinking: "Maybe as the old diets didn't help me keep my weight off, then these new ones will?"

As quickly as one diet is devised, another totally different one knocks it off the number one bestseller slot. But as they're all so very different, and as we humans are pretty much similar, they can't all be right. Let's have a look at what we know about diets...

Customer Reviews

A passionate, insightful guide to detox
Having been lucky enough to meet the author of this book I can vouch for her passion, energy and commitment to the raw food/detox lifestyle.

This book is not only brimming with recipes that are non-terrifying for those new to detox but is also full of useful information (for example stockists, websites, books) as well as success stories and a thorough overview of the whole detox experience. It provides an informative, balanced argument for healthy living and, whilst it is naturally biased to one side of the debate, never ends up being preachy.

If you want to kick - start your new lifestyle this is the best place to start.

The book to change the world
This book is all you need to become a normal, fit, happy and healthy human being. It shows you all you need to do, and how to do it, and thoroughly explains why you need to change.

If you think you do not need to change then this book will explain why you should if you want to live your life to the full - happy and without any sickness or pain - as we were meant to live.

It goes on to explain why you should become a raw vegan food eater and gives lots and lots of delicious recipes to tempt you with. I've tried most of them and they are truly delicious.

In a nut shell this is the one book to have on your book shelf, although it will probably spend most of its life either in your hands or on a worktop as you try out yet one more recipe.

Shazzie, the author, is the prime shining example of the lifestyle she shares in her book, if you've ever met her then you will know exactly what I mean.

Celebrate your life - live life alive with Shazzies guidance
It's brilliant. A full and comprehensive wholsitic lifestyle book, full of inspirational suggestions, factual info, recipes and several detox plans to fit even the busiest agenda. This book is a gift -- so many times I have been frustrated not having a book which I can truly recommend to clients without losing them all after the first session!!! I have been seeking something professional enough and yet not too whacky. THIS IS IT. The wrapping and content of this book is enticing and full of excitement. This book held me all the way through and its near 400!! odd pages.

I felt personally re-inspired and had a few questions answered too. It reminded me that we are all forever students of life.

Detox your World is a expression of harmonising livelihoods and service -- sharing of facts without undue controversy. The testimonials were amongst the best I have read. I was moved by this book -- deeply moved. It has also given me an insight into how much work goes into creating and offering a service with so much information and inspiration without becoming boring at all.

For me it supersedes all the books I have read. I feel totally comfy with insisting that all my clients buy this book. I feel delighted to now have a book that I feel proud and joyous to give and share with friends and family too.
A book that guides people through transformational choices and seeks to invite the best from each person.

I felt a deep appreciation and a realisation that to talk about this book would be a joy and a sincere expression of pride in the auhoress. Its already vibrating with a powerful potential of touching families and all beings who seek wellness of life.
