7lbs in 7 Days Retreat
"The week I spent at the Juice Master Ultimate Detox retreat in Turkey was life-changing. I have always been conscious of my health and fitness but the retreat helped me to re-focus and re-invigorate both my body and mind. Sun, sea, exercise and juice every day resulted in my skin clearing up, my eyes and hair shining, dropping 3kg (a further 1.5kg the following week) and loads of energy! One of the best weeks of my life. I'm ready for the next week!"
Beverly Knight (singer, song writer)

"What the frikkin' heck happened last week at the retreat with you guys? It was unbelievable - truly amazing. I had a blast. Your energy and charisma was and is infectious and the phenomena that is the Juice has filtered into my brain cells quite literally and I find myself unable to get off the stuff!"

Experience
Jason personally spends a lot of time high up in the mountains of Southern Turkey at the Montenegro retreat working on projects/books. This is in fact the home of the legendary '7lbs in 7 days' and where could be a better environment in which to do the programme? During the week you will live exclusively from juices and smoothies made from locally grown produce (where possible).
Many people come simply to lose some unwanted weight and catch some sun, but that's only the beginning. A Juice Master detox is different to most detox weeks and is designed so that the week is action packed with activities from Yoga to Tai Chi, from Classical Rebounding to Beautiful Mountain Walks. Losing weight is a given, but its what you will gain from the week that is difficult to put into words. Its an opportunity to press pause on life back home and step out of the fast paced world and enjoy some 'YOU' time. Our aim is that you leave with a new found vigor for life, bundles of natural energy and trimmer waist line. Although Jason will not personally be there for most of the weeks, you will be in the hands of his well trained and dedicated team.
"WOW! What an amazing week; I know when you have had a good break and feel revitalized that its easy to write nice things, but I am sitting here writing this 2 months after arriving back in the UK and can honestly say the effect the retreat had on me is ever lasting......I went to learn about how to beat the food trap and to get leaner both of which I achieved. I lost 6kg in a week and travelled back to the UK genuinely with a different outlook; both my wife and I juice everyday now and we are reaping the benefits of a healthier, energetic and focused lifestyle. I am remembered for the catchphrase ‘That’s Wot I’m Talking About’ but if there is one thing we should all be talking about it’s THE JUICEMASTER"

"Thanks so much...great to have all the music and just a quick note, as am at work today. Wanted to say a huge thank you for all the fantastic energy that everyone that went into last week, had a fantastic time, learnt lots and will definitely be keeping up the juicing daily".

"Thank you again for a fantastic week. I have definitely got much better energy levels than before coming....and yes, I've lost 7lbs.... But most importantly have lots 2 body fat points!
I So enjoyed it and felt I have learnt some really valuble information about 'live' foods and juicing. Also, thank you for getting me back into yoga. What an excellent teacher Steve is. I will definitely be coming back to Turkey (or Portugal!) so am hoping to catch one of his classes again."

Living on Juice
This is a 'Juice Only' Retreat. All juices are made using only the finest locally grown ingredients (where possible). You will have freshly extracted juices made for you regularly throughout the day and various high quality supplements which will aid the cleansing and detox process. The juice programme is based on '7lbs in 7 days' however some of the juices/smoothies may differ.
"Following a summer of rock festival- related excess, a week of enforced juice- feasting seemed like a good idea. …For the first three days we're fed fruit in the morning, and then only juices, which are really giant smoothies packed with banana and avocado, so I don't feel hungry at all. ...A week later, I feel bizarrely light and strong with the sun warming my skin. …I leave feeling calm, strong and leaner (some fellow juicers lose around half a stone) and I haven't smoked since.”
Amy Fleming - The Guardian (read more testimonials like this)

What people had to say about their experience at our retreat last month here
Location
Montenegro, Gökçeovacik, near Göcek, S. Turkey is Featured in the Condé Nast Johansens guide 'Recommended Hotels & Spas 2004', "Montenegro is a property that offers everything that our guests could desire in terms of tranquillity and quality. The characterful stone buildings with spacious rooms, the beautiful mountain views and the warm Turkish hospitality all contribute to our feeling that this is a truly extraordinary destination.
The first thing to strike you on arriving is the view. The retreat is designed to take full advantage of the stunning panoramic views across the mountains and valley below. The various stone terraces provide several vantage points from which to do nothing other than sit in absolute tranquility and contemplation."
What's new this season?
For those who came last year, there will be some nice improvements to the already gorgeous retreat including the new roof on the yoga platform and removing all the plastic to make it more in keeping for yoga and relaxation. One aspect, which will never change, is the teams 100% commitment to making your stay not simply ‘good’ but extraordinary and life changing.
"Just to let you know that I was surprised and delighted to find that I lost 9lbs in the week at Montenegro so the title of your book is by no means an exaggeration Jason!!"

"It was as wonderful as ever and the presence of Ken was a huge bonus. He casts such a wonderful spiritual air around the place with lots of laughs amongst the insightful stuff……into the bargain I lost 11 pounds and set off on another personal journey, leading to handing my notice in at work yesterday. Scary eh!" - Jane
