The Alkaline Reset Cleanse: The 7-Day Reboot for Unlimited Energy, Rapid Weight Loss, and the Prevention of Degenerative Disease

I have loved following Ross and his book is no exception! He shares his knowledge in a very understandable way. I loved the way the book was set up. It was easy to follow and well thought out. There is information about supplements, etc. etc. I like to know the “why” of what I am being asked to do and the answers are provided with each area of focus. Ross eases you into the cleanse and provides a meal plan and recipes for a week prior to the alkaline reset as well as for the cleanse itself. I did enjoy most of the soup and snack recipes. The flavor of juicing veggies is much better than the smoothies. I could not palette the smoothies so I would just do more juicing using his recipes. I have lacked energy and had inflammation and body aches and pains for years. After doing the cleanse, my body aches were almost non existent, I was sleeping well, I felt lighter, clear minded, more alert and had more motivation to get things done without procrastinating. Honestly, I hadn’t felt better in my life. This book is a great kickstart to healthier eating habits. Following an alkaline diet has made me keenly aware of my relationship between food and my physical ailments. If you want to start feeling better today, following the guidelines in this book is the quickest way! Ross’s outline will flood your body with much needed nutrients while completely eliminating all inflammatory foods. I have done this cleanse 3 times! My favorite way to do this cleanse is with other people. We each made different soups and snacks and shared them with each other to cut down on the food prep. I was never hungry on this cleanse. The food portions are large! I usually had double what I thought I was going to get. For the first time in many years I was able to kick my body into fat burning mode and get to my ideal body weight. What are you waiting for? Give this cleanse a try! You’ll be glad you did!

Thanks to Ross Bridgeford and his book, The Alkaline Reset Cleanse, I am finally stepping out of the fog I have been living in since 2003. For the last 16 years my body has been plagued with sickness and disease. I have battled breast cancer, a carcinoid tumor, chemo brain, chemo induced neuropathy, low immunity, acid reflux, gastroparesis, kidney stones, allergies, sinus and respiratory infections multiple times a year, joint pain, migraines, exhaustion and depression. I have been on meds for all the above and that in turn adds more negative side effects to my daily woes. I was tired of being sick and tired. Fortunately, I stumbled upon The Alkaline Reset Cleanse and the fog, sickness, pain and exhaustion are fading into the past. First, let me say it wasn't easy at first to make this change. After 49 years of eating refined sugars (chocolate was my primary food group), processed food, non organic, gmos, and not drinking enough water my body was addicted to the wrong foods\additives. It didn't help that those around me were eating the same way and eating processed food is actually encouraged because it saves time and is so often labeled as good for us. My body kept showing me I was living a lie, it wasn't healthy, it was breaking me down. Life wasn't meant to be this way, this way of life is man made and it's destroying our bodies. I decided I had to give the 21 days and try the Alkaline Reset Cleanse, truly, what did I have to lose? The week before the cleanse process was easy, just a few changes to my regular way of living, no sugar, caffeine and adding more water, ginger, and turmeric along with a few recipes provided in The Alkaline Cleanse book to get me prepped for the cleanse week. The first 2 days of the actual cleanse week were a struggle for me, I disliked the consistency of the smoothies, the flavor of kale yuck, and no meat..... I persevered, it was just a week out of my life. I found I could better tolerate the smoothies that contained the coconut oil and a whole avocado while adding more filtered water and blending longer so the smoothie wasn't so lumpy. By day 3 of the Alkaline Reset Cleanse I was on board and the weight started to dissolve away. By day 5 my energy began to pick up. By day 7 I had lost 10 lbs. just during the cleanse week (I had lost 3 or 4 lbs during the before week.). Ross had mentioned that the benefits would grow even more after the cleanse week and it did for me. I'm 4 weeks out of the cleanse and my addiction to chocolate and sugar is gone, I no longer crave it, instead I crave veggies (Never thought I'd say that!). I no longer have to take meds for my neuropathy, it's gone. My gastroparesis, no longer a problem. My energy level is higher than It has been in a few years. The 13 lbs I lost hasn't come back. I'm actually getting ready to start a 2nd cleanse to help heal my kidneys. I'm now beginning to live the life I was meant to live. Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? The Alkaline Reset Cleanse book is easy to understand and all the info you need is there, right at your finger tips. What equipment do you need to start, a decent blender and juicer, water filter jug, measuring cups and spoons, and knives, they don't have to be expensive ones. Then of course you'll need to purchase the food (Organic is best, but if it's a financial strain non organic will work.), spices, and a few supplements to get started. Ross covers all of this in his book. What's stopping you? You and I were meant for so much more!!

After a recent fall back in my health I was desperate for something that would help me feel better. I was already eating "healthy" and definitely healthier than most on the Standard Modern Diet, and yet I still fell in the epitome of disease. Just for reference: I was eating gluten free, mostly dairy free, and do not eat food colorings, additives, refined sugars, fast food, or highly processed foods. It obviously wasn't working, not for me, and so I decided that I needed to really dial it in. I had decided to do the alkaline diet as I had already done the ketogenic, paleo, raw, and the Whole Foods diet. I ordered 3 different books. One book went to donations as it wasn't a truly alkaline book. The other was a hard read and much too intense for my liking (it needs to be easy if its going to be a lifestyle change) and the 3rd book....well that is Ross's book, The Alkaline Reset Cleanse and it is phenomenal! I couldn't put it down. I took it with me to read in the car as I wait for the kids at pick up and I would read it every night before bed. I literally carried it with me wherever I went so I could sneak in a page or two when I had time. It is well laid out, easy to read, makes 100% sense on why the alkaline diet works, and gives step by step instruction on how to complete the cleanse. All the way down to shopping lists!! I have implemented all of Ross's recommendations (but have yet to complete the cleanse) and I feel a world better! My foot pains and inflammation have gone away. I feel rested. I have energy. And, I can't wait until I am able to complete the cleanse to see how much more by body transforms! If you are looking for a good alkaline book....stop. This is it!

The book is clear and insightful as to what you are getting into and "WHY." Ross' approach is not overwhelming, and he's created some great recipes.

I purchased Ross book in 2018 however I have been with Ross since 2015 . Ross makes eating healthy so easy and the recipes are delicious . Ross book is easy to understand and follow , he takes you step by step through the 5 Master systems , Immune , Digestive, Endocrine , Detoxification and the PH Buffering System which helps us maintain our PH Balance. After reading about these 5 Master Systems I have a clear understanding of what each one does . Ross book teaches you how to do a Cleanse , not the cleanse where you starve and just drink water but a cleanse that fills you up with nutritious smoothies, juices (that you prepare ) and delicious soups, as Ross always says " If you are hungry on the cleanse you are doing something wrong" ! If you are looking for information on Inflammation , and who isn't ? Then this is the book for you, We all know by now that Inflammation is the root cause of most diseases , with this book you will get the full story on Inflammation and recipes for Juices,Smoothies and dishes that will help you reduce the inflammation in your body. With the Alkaline Reset Cleanse and all of the information in Ross book you are on your way to a very healthy lifestyle. When I follow an Alkaline way of eating and drinking my arthritis pain goes away !! I promise once you buy this book you will never need another .

The best thing for me in Ross's approach: it is not about being perfect, it is not about giving up all your favorite food, it is about adding more and more healthy food and little by little even before you realize you are eating healthier and it can only get better! I bought the Alkaline Reset Cleanse after an online live presentation from Ross. I loved his energy and his philosophy is based on the "natural goodness of Nature" and it make so much sense that it resonates within you. I wanted to change my breakfast and start the day with more energy. Also, I never done a cleanse before and I wanted to give it a try. Right away I went from coffee, bread and butter to turmeric-ginger tea, an awesome oatmeal recipe and a green juice everyday, it had been a month I feel better than ever and more confident in my food habits! I read the book, I did the cleanse: the first part explain to you why, what and how, which motivates you even more and then you just have to follow the instructions because everything is so well detailed and organized: you get the shopping lists, the schedule, the pre-cleanse and after cleanse guidelines! The cleanse is so powerful, you WILL NOT starve, I was amazed about the mental clarity you get from it right when you wake up in the morning, the good nights of sleep, the look of my skin and hair and how much energy you gain by the end of the week and still after. I will definitely do it again in the future! After the cleanse week, you will not eat exactly how you use to, you are so conscious of the benefits on your body. They are so great that you don't want the coffee anymore you want the juice or the smoothie! Then, you find yourself wanting more greens, more water... THIS is a life-changing book ! Thank you Ross Bridgeford.

Ross Bridgeford has apparently been coaching people for many years. He has no health credentials that I can find and is, apparently, self-taught or self-professed. The purpose of this book is to guide you through 7 days of vegetable juice, vegetable smoothies, and vegetable soups as a cleanse. There are no solid foods during this week. In addition, Ross presents a plan for 7 initial days to prepare your body and mind for this reset. You have to wean yourself away from sugar, meat, dairy, coffee, fruit and gluten. I would suggest the weaning process might take more like three weeks. I came to this book fully aware of the alkaline style, having read and followed some of the guidelines in Dr. Daryl Gioffre's book, Get Off Your Acid. Pretty much you can google for a chart of alkaline foods, which are mostly vegetables, especially green leafy vegetables, some starches like quinoa and sweet potato, and nuts and seeds, and guide yourself. Personally, I think any program that guides you to a new lifestyle of eating whole foods that are plant based will help to make you healthy. You can check out Dean Ornish, Michael Greger, Alan Goldhammer, Caldwell Esselstyn, Neal Barnard, Joel Fuhrman, and many more, all of whom will give you information about a plant based diet. These other docs believe also in salt and oil free food, while Dr. Daryl and Ross believe in adding lots of fat to your diet, coconut oil, olive oil, avocado oil, etc (which are not whole foods, btw). If you are ready for some hard work, then this book might be for you. If you are looking for a weight loss book, this is not it, despite the claim to rapid weight loss in the title. This requires a commitment to a lifestyle in order to lose weight and keep it off. Certainly, anyone who is obese, or has high blood pressure, a heart condition, or is diabetic, will benefit by following any lifestyle that removes sugar, meat, dairy, and gluten from their diets. The processed foods that we eat as part of the American Standard Diet (SAD) are making people sick. This is not a bad book. It's just not 5 stars as far as I am concerned.

I’ve read the entire book and began pre-cleanse two weeks ago and finished cleanse week yesterday. The reason I began this plan was because I had gained some weight in the past year due to some bad food choices. I eat rather healthy otherwise but had fallen off the wagon in recent months. I started experiencing a lot of inflammation in my body and my hormones were getting out of control to the point where I was getting hormonal headaches every month that were agonizing. I exercise regularly but was finding because I was eating more sugar and starches that my joints were becoming achy and I was having stiffness in my spine and in my neck. After two weeks of cleansing I lost 11 pounds which I know was primarily inflammation. The achiness in my body has disappeared. My energy levels have increased. And so far this month I have not received a hormonal migraine. However I will not know until next week if I get the migraine or not. In another week I know I will be out of the woods. The cleanse really has helped me reset my system. My cravings for sugar have gone down by at least 80%. My body constantly craved foods that were starchy and sugary. I highly recommend this and have talked about it with several people. But for many people eating some of these foods is very difficult and preparation is not always what some people choose to do. With the alkaline reset cleanse a lot of preparation goes into making sure you have good meals to eat. It is a matter of discipline but I’m enjoying the change to a plant based diet.

Having gone through my own journey of pain followed by researching of health and the microbiome and how to optimise my body I am amazed at how much info in here matches what I have found and tested on myself. I’m very impressed at the level of detail. I’m loving the shopping lists, recipe lists and guidance. He makes it all very digestible (pun intended!) . I will buy this book for family and anyone who wants to know how to get themselves in better shape through eating. The breakdown of the 5 major systems in the body and how they interact and rely on each other really helped me to paint a better picture of where I can improve and where things aren’t as they should be. I am going to do the 7 day cleanse once my paycheck lands next week. The last 2 weeks I have tweaked and removed a bunch of stuff and I can feel a direct effect on my overall mood already. Especially energy levels being consistent. I can’t imagine how I will feel after 7 days of the diet. I’m genuinely excited.

Ross's new book 'The Alkaline Reset Cleanse' is a step by step approach to living with better health, improved weight, less inflammation. Written with clear language, and well organized structure, Ross's passion and knowledge come through with clarity, inspiration and motivation. Ross walks the reader through the whys and hows of alkaline lifestyle, and the ultimate 'cleanse' to reboot one's metabolism. The book is a functional how to get started, how to do the cleanse, and how to continue the lifestyle. Ross provides support with menu plans, shopping lists, and recipes. A very helpful book, for anyone seeking a serious lifestyle change for the sake of good health.

I have followed Ross and read his website for years and it is great to have his teaching distilled into this practical book. Not just the alkaline cleanse, but the background to why his approach is so important. I highly recommend this book.

A bit disappointed, doesn't have full food chart details

Ross Bridgeford knows how to scientifically and convincingly provide insight into how malnutrition can/will cause disorders, BUT ESPECIALLY ALSO how you can find your way back to recovery. I am very happy to have purchased this book.
