Drop 7 Foods. Lose 7 Pounds. Just 7 Days: THE VIRGIN DIET
By JJ Virgin, cns, chfs
With The Virgin Diet, JJ Virgin, CNS, CHFS, explodes the myth that certain foods are universally healthy components in any weight-loss diet.
Based on her work with thousands of clients, including many athletes and Hollywood celebrities, this nationally recognized nutrition and fitness guru has proven that many so-called “diet” foods can undermine your efforts to shed pounds and that supposedly healthy foods can actually cause you to gain weight. With just a 21-day commitment, the revolutionary Virgin Diet can reset your metabolism and end the seemingly endless yo-yo cycle of weight loss and gain forever.
The hidden cause of weight gain, Virgin explains, is Food Intolerance (FI). “Food-intolerance symptoms vary from person to person,” she writes, “but the most common include bloating, gas, indigestion, fatigue, mental fog, irritability, moodiness—and weight gain. If you’re eating foods that your body can’t tolerate, you’re likely to gain weight, feel crummy and look years older than your actual age.”
The big surprise for most of us, though, is that the 7 major High-FI foods are: Gluten, Soy, Dairy, Eggs, Corn, Peanuts and Sugar and Artificial Sweeteners.
In other words, many foods touted as “healthy” can be the culprits: egg-white omelets, whey protein shakes, nonfat yogurt, soy-based veggie burgers on whole grain buns. Eating these foods can actually sabotage your health.
In The Virgin Diet, JJ Virgin explains how food intolerances cause trouble for our bodies and can contribute to weight gain. She then leads readers through her revolutionary program. It begins with a 21-day period of Elimination, during which all of these foods are purged from the diet.
