Marthas Vineyard Diet Detox

Posted on by

Sure, they promise that you’ll lose 21 pounds in 21 days but before I start explaining how this works, you should know that the authors named this the Martha’s Vineyard Diet Detox because that is where they live. You should also know that it is my opinion that they live there because they can afford to. This 21 in 21 system will cost you a serious chunk of change and there is no money back guarantee. According to the authors, all sales are final. Reassuring, huh? Roni DeLuz is the founder and director of the Martha’s Vineyard Holistic Retreat at … Continue reading →

Super Skinny Me

Posted on by

Kate Spicer – Honestly Showing us the Ugly Side of Weight Loss Last week I watched a BBC program called “Super Skinny Me” and I related to it much more than I’d care to admit. In it, two British journalists agreed to spend five weeks doing whatever they had to do to reach the mythical size zero. I should mention here that both of them were very healthy and attractive women before they ever started their weight loss journeys. The one journalist I related to most was Kate Spicer. She is 38, 5’8″ tall and weighed 140 pounds. That weight … Continue reading →

Why You Should Detox

Posted on by

The topic of detoxifying tends to polarize people. Some people swear by it while other swear about it. I hope to help you out here in case you’ve been wondering what all the fuss is about when it comes to the detox. I published a blog on the Master Cleanse some time ago. It has been particularly popular with those looking to lose a few fast pounds but I’ve tried to be absolutely clear that this is not a quick fix meant for the yo-yo dieter. While one of the side effects is usually weight loss, doing a detox like … Continue reading →

Short-Term Fasting Can Work

Posted on by

It has been touted in Brad Pilon’s new book, Eat Stop Eat. Its benefits have been discussed at length in the Families.com Forums and in other blogs. It has been condemned by modern medicine, nutritionists and dieticians. But hey, they’re the ones who told me to eat eleven servings of starch a day and lay off the meat. That got me to gain weight instead of losing it! Now there is new scientific evidence that supports the theory that short term fasting can indeed help you to lose weight, and not just muscle but real bodyfat! In Pilon’s book, Eat … Continue reading →

More About the Fat Flush

Posted on by

In my initial blog about the Fat Flush, I mentioned that there are some specific details about the Fat Flush that make reading the book absolutely necessary to a successful experience with it. Here is a quick overview of some of the specific items the Fat Flush calls for: Protein You have to consume at least 8 ounces of protein per day to include eggs, lean beef, lean chicken and whey protein. Every pound of muscle burns 70 calories every hour. Protein is what keeps the dieting person from wasting all their muscle to cannibalism. (Yes, your body will use … Continue reading →

What is the Fat Flush Plan?

Posted on by

Somebody on the Beyonce’s Maple Syrup Diet Forum asked about the Fat Flush so I thought it might be a good topic for a blog. The Fat Flush is another Detox Diet plan that doesn’t just leave you after a few weeks of dieting. It demands the incorporation of a lifestyle change. Let’s be honest here, folks. The only way to get slim and stay there is to change your lifestyle. Yo-yo dieting every time you put on extra weight from eating carelessly just isn’t smart or safe. It is a far, far better thing to lose the extra pounds … Continue reading →

Coming Off Beyonce’s Maple Syrup Diet, Day #1

Posted on by

What I’ve been calling Beyonce’s Maple Syrup Diet is actually the Master Cleanse which was originally created by Stanley Burroughs many years ago. I do not advocate starvation diets. I prefer not to think of this as a “diet” but as a way to cleanse one’s system and break addictions prior to getting started on a sensible lifestyle plan. People have used it to break caffeine and chocolate addictions as well as those more serious addictions that I am simply not qualified to discuss here. I’ve used this cleanse successfully and been a long-time participant in the Beyonce’s Maple Syrup … Continue reading →
