The Virgin Diet: Drop 7 Foods, Lose 7 Pounds, Just 7 Days (CD, Library)

The key to weight loss isn't calories. It isn't fat. It isn't protein. It isn't even carbs. You can count them, cut them, and swap them all you want, but you won't lose weight if you're eating foods that your body can't tolerate. And the most common diet foods--like egg whites, wheat bread, and fat-free yogurt--are some of the worst offenders. These "healthy" foods are actually making you fat
In this book, celebrity nutritionist and fitness expert J. J. Virgin pinpoints the ten foods that sabotage weight loss. Just by eliminating these ten diet saboteurs, listeners will see incredible results: their fat will melt away, their metabolism will get a healthy boost, their energy levels will skyrocket and they will start to look (and feel ) younger. As Virgin explains, the body is a chemistry lab, not a calculator. These ten foods cause inflammation in the body, slowing the metabolism, creating mood swings and cravings and causing premature aging--not to mention a host of beauty problems.
In addition to eliminating the ten foods, listeners will eat plenty of Virgin's fifty powerful healing and anti-inflammatory foods for twenty-one days, ridding the body of inflammation and hitting the diet reset button. After the simple twenty-one-day program, listeners can try incorporating gluten, dairy, and eggs back into their diet and testing for inflammation. Virgin's clients see incredible results with the program, including:
Weight loss--at least ten pounds in twenty-one daysFlat tummyYounger-looking, clearer skinHealthier hairImproved energyBetter sleep and a clearer mindFewer mood swings and cravings

This book is for listeners who are tired of counting calories without seeing results, or who find it impossible to lose weight, no matter how many calories they count or carbs they cut, and listeners who struggle with any type of inflammation.
