The Virgin Diet: Drop 7 Foods, Lose 7 Pounds, Just 7 Days

A New York Times bestseller.

“The Virgin Diet eliminates the ‘healthy’ foods that are actually holding your health hostage so you can lose weight quickly and permanently.”—Mark Hyman, MD, #1 New York Times bestselling author 

Your fat is not your fault.

Are you eating all the right things—low-fat yogurt, egg-white omelets, whole-grain bread, even tofu—but still can't lose the weight? Your favorite "diet" foods may be to blame. In this informative nutrition guide, celebrity nutrition and fitness expert JJ Virgin reveals the real secret behind weight-loss resistance—food intolerance. A negative reaction to certain foods like dairy or gluten can sabotage your health by triggering inflammation and causing a host of nasty symptoms like bloating, breakouts, headaches, achy joints and—worst of all—stubborn weight gain.

On The Virgin Diet, an effective elimination diet plan, you'll eat plenty of anti-inflammatory, healing foods to reclaim your health and reset your metabolism, while avoiding the 7 foods that are most likely to cause food intolerance. You'll never feel hungry or deprived, and in just one week, you'll drop up to 7 pounds, lose belly bloat, gain energy, reduce inflammation, and look and feel years younger as part of this effective anti-inflammatory diet. And that's just the beginning!

Including delicious, guilt-free recipes as well as testimonials from people who have had successful results, The Virgin Diet will help you to look and feel your best.
