Pounds in 21 Days: The Martha's Vineyard Diet Detox is not a traditional diet,
but a detoxification program designed both to "cleanse" the body and
cause weight loss. Author Roni DeLuz, a registered nurse and naturopathic
doctor (not to be confused with a medical doctor) says she created the liquid
diet when she was trying to heal herself.
Dieters are
supposed to cleanse their bodies by drinking liquids every two hours. They
choose from a limited number of options including water, homemade soups, juices
made from fruits and vegetables, and powdered antioxidant berry and green
drinks available from the author's web site.
In theory,
once free of toxins, your body functions better and your metabolism soars so
you can shed those extra pounds. The Lose 21 Pounds in 21 Days plan is based on
three principles: rest, reduce, and rebuild. "Rest comes from not chewing
and ingesting nutrients in liquid form. Eliminating toxins, resting the body
and engaging in elimination therapy, you cleanse and rebuild the body so it can
shed weight," says DeLuz.
DeLuz
recommends a 21-day detox yearly, a seven-day cleanup each calendar season, and
a weekend detox each week.
Supplements
including enzyme capsules, an herb cleansing formula, and aloe vera, as well as
services like lymph drainage massages, cellulite treatment, liver flushes,
kidney cleanses, body wraps, detoxifying baths, and weekly coffee enemas and
colonics are part of the plan.
After 21
days, dieters go off the detox plan carefully, because their cleaned bodies
will "no longer tolerate processed and junk foods, which will cause weight
gain," explains DeLuz. The author recommends slowly awakening the
digestive system with a daily protein powder supplement along with vegetables,
soy milk, 3-4 ounces of salmon, and 1 cup nonfat yogurt. Nutritional
supplements (green drinks, berry drink, and protein shakes) continue to be
recommended in smaller doses.
