And you lose unwanted kilos as well. This practical and informative book includes a seven-step, 28-day plan that kicks off with the Three-Day Nutritional Facelift.

Customer Reviews

I must admit that I was skeptical about this....
But started to do the plan with an open mind. I stuck to the 3 day plan religiously. By Day 2 I hadnt really noticed any change to my skin. I had lost 5 pounds however, but weight loss must be seen as the by product rather than the reason for doing this plan.
However, I woke up on day 3 and my whole body felt like silk. I had been swimming the day before which usually leaves my skin quite dry. But the skin on my face looked very creamy and healthy and the psorisis patchs on my elbows had completely disapeered.
The 3 day plan is very delicious. It involves 'feeding your face' with oily fish, cantalope and various other fruit and veg. This is no Atkins plan. There is no 'unlimited' amounts of anything - which i prefer as this sort of eating encourages glutony, the cause of being overweight.
I will continue with the 28 day part of the plan but this is a very easy diet to follow. And the results are more than just a needle on the scales moving downwards.
