The title of my review is a quote that Jason must repeat at least a billion times in his book!

I bought a juicer a while ago and this book came with it. I'd never heard of Jason Vale, aka the juice master prior to recieving this book and wasn't too impressed after reading the first couple of pages but decided to read the whole thing to see if it would give me any tips or tell me something that I didn't already know about juicing and juice fasting.

Untortunately, it didn't - the book mainly talks about how amazing Jason is, how amazing the supplements that Jason sells on his website are, and so on. Jason tells us in the first few pages that we need to read the book from start to finish without skipping any pages, so I did. After about twenty pages I was really bored. The guy just seems to ramble on and on and on about completely irrelevant stuff which I have no interest in at all and his attempts at humour fail miserably.

After reading through about a hundred pages of rambling and boasting I eventually came across the 'can't be a*sed syndrome' chapter, which I actually found quite motivating and mildly humerous. However, Jason makes the mistake of talking to the reader like they're overweight and unmotivated whereas this really isn't the case for me and I found it quite patronising. I work hard to keep in shape and eat right so to keep reading the same things over and over in regards to motiviation and weight loss was quite annoying.

He states in his first chapter that he didn't want to put 'diet' in the books title but was forced to by the publishers, yet everything about the book just screams generic diet book! He does mention the health benefits of juicing very briefly and says that one glass of juice contains more nutrients in it than a weeks worth of the average persons meals put together, but he never really goes into detail about the nutritional and scientific side of it which I found dissapointing. As for the diet plan, I found it really vague. He lists the ingredients like 'five carrots, one tomatoe, apples.'

He never, ever tells us how many apples we need which I found soooo annoying and had to look online - turns out it's 2 apples per juice. Almost all of the juices need to be blended with an avocado and ocassionaly yoghurt, but as I'm a Vegan I didn't put yoghurt in mine. You also need to buy various supplements including wheatgrass and spiriluna. I followed the plan for three days but found the plan too repetitive and kept getting annoyed and confused about the portion sizes because he's so vague in his description. What I do like is that each recipe has a page next to it which gives information about what vitamins the particular juice contains eg calcium and so on although again, he's very vague with how much of the vitamin the juice actually contains.

Overall I'd recommend watching fat, sick and nearly dead then buying a juice recipe book and finding a juice fast plan on join the reboot (a website). The book is vague, boring and should be titled 'I'm so great, look at me, buy my stuff!' by Jason Vale.

Two out of five stars.
