I think that the best way to provide my review of this book is by sharing my testimony. On my Day 10 of the GSC I had to drive from GA to DC to bury my 41 yr old friend who had lost his battle with Cancer. And it’s crazy but even in my grief the epiphany that I had during my long drive was that this 10 day detox was about so much more than losing weight. It was about gaining life. Glory.
Now don’t get me wrong, I love feeling sexy in this skin I’m in, and that was my forethought but this Detox was so much more. For me, it was about clarity. I know – How can 10 days of detox provide you clarity? If I heard someone else say it I’d just shake my head. I’m that chick usually pressed to get everything done, degrees on the wall, accolades on the job, successful and I feel NOTHING because I never take the time to celebrate it before moving on to the next thing. I’m just doing what I do to provide for those I love – This Detox made me take time for me. What changed? My curiosity started with a fb post on a friends page. I called her and she shared JJ Smith’s 1st book with me. “How to lose weight without diet or exercise.” It was a page turner. I read and allowed what she was saying to marinate. I did something I’ve never done. I joined a fb page (the GSC community), ordered the book on my Kindle, introduced myself (like JJ Smith says) and immediately I was hooked. The feedback of a community helping each other is Beautiful. On Day 2 I was standing in the supermarket feeling a little overwhelmed about what I could and couldn’t have, I posted the question on my phone and immediately the community responded. This is an awesome example of “Each one, Teach one.” And it just keeps paying itself forward.
People ask me about how I lost the weight and I tell them GSC. What really bothers me is when folks say “Well let me just copy it from you. “ I’m like dude really?” For one I adore the author for what she has done for me and second if you’re not willing to invest $10 - $15 in yourself – You ain’t ready. I recently purchased 3 additional copies of the book, gift wrapped and enclosed love notes for very special people in my life. Not just for weight lost but for life gained. I keep saying Dr. JJ Smith because someone really needs to give this woman an honorary degree. Natural good food is self healing. JJ Smith created a life choice that I wonder how I ever lived without. I spent so much time in my selection of what I could have that I never even thought about what I couldn’t have. I was NEVER hungry. I have divorced my 20 year marriage to coffee and am in love with herbal teas which have me sleeping like a baby. I feel so selective and sultry in my food choices and I love that! JJ Smith’s book taught me to pamper myself on the inside and out. I take time for me. I’m glowing. I am no longer my last option but my first choice in my own life. I am forever grateful. (For a pause, reboot, or whatever this rebirth is that I feel about myself. Glory – This is my testimony and I’m CELEBRATING!
