This book is all you need, along with a two ounce bottle of homeopathic drops (from your local or online store) for your weight loss journey. The "secret" way to get the same quality product for less and step-by-step, walk-you-through-it instructions and recipes are all here in this one book.I am not a doctor. I am a stay at home mom in her mid-forties who lost about a pound a day. Follow these instructions and you can too. Lisa B. Ellison
