The Virgin Diet

Drop 7 Foods, Lose 7 Pounds, Just 7 Days

De: JJ Virgin CNS CHFS

Narrado por: J. J. Virgin

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 10 foods that sabotage weight loss. Just by eliminating these 10 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 10 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 10 foods, listeners will eat plenty of Virgin's 50 powerful healing and anti-inflammatory foods for 21 days, ridding the body of inflammation and hitting the diet reset button. After the simple 21-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 10 pounds in 21 days
• Flat tummy
• Younger-looking, clearer skin
• Healthier hair
• Improved energy
• Better sleep and a clearer mind
• Fewer 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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"You must [listen to] this book if you're doing everything right and still struggling to lose weight!" ( Suzanne Somers)

Content made this worth it for me

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

After hearing this book, I bought the print copy as a reference manual. I've been following this diet for 2weeks and have seen incredible changes in my health. I wouldn't have had the time to read the book in print and probably wouldn't have finished it because it's somewhat repetitive. I don't really like the author's inflection when she's trying to make a point (sounds fakey), but I love the content of the book!

awesome!

Would you consider the audio edition of The Virgin Diet to be better than the print version?

Yes I learned so much while I was driving!

What other book might you compare The Virgin Diet to and why?

The Hormone Cure. Both have loads of info and have changed the way I live.

What does J. J. Virgin bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I don't know

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes actually, it was that interesting

Any additional comments?

I don't understand why the other reviewer said there was not enough info on the foods to replace the 7, she offers tons of ideas and states why they are better for you, and loads of research is cited.

Thanks JJ!

So far (after only two weeks), I've lost 7lbs 1.5" from my waist, and .5" from my hips! :) I can't express my happiness since NOTHING else has done it for me. I'm looking forward to actually hitting my ideal weight!

This diet actually works

I followed this diet and can now wear the clothes in the very back of my closet that were too small for me for many years. And I feel better, just more energetic, more well.
I did also buy an ebook copy because I wanted to be sure I got everything right, but the author explains and motivates in the audiobook in a way that might not come across as well in print.
I'm an older woman who has always eaten healthy, but some wholesome foods weren't helping me to maintain an ideal weight. This elimination diet let me figure out what does and doesn't work with my particular body chemistry. After resting my system according to the book's instructions, I gradually added back the eliminated foods. It was readily apparent which ones triggered excessive appetite and which ones were satisfying for me.

Helpful Information!

Great book. Not only does JJ Virgin explain what you need to eliminate from your diet, but also in detail why clearly and understandably.

I'm on board!

I've just started this diet TODAY so perhaps I'll come back and revisit this review in the future, but so far this is reasonable, matches with the science I've read elsewhere, and gives me confidence because of the healthiness and balance of the foods. This seems to me to be do-able. I have hesitated in the past to purchase books that were "read by the author" because of the aural grating irritation that it has proven to cause, but JJ Virgin does a really great job. She sounds genuine and friendly. I only resent the $70 shakes that she sells on her site that are highly recommended for 1 - 2 meals a day. However, in researching similar vegan, soy-free, organic shake mixes, I found that her price is either at par or lower than the others on the market. So. Off I go to get healthier!

Stop eating crap,

Most likely you are allergic to the food you are eating, read the book and find out what to eat.

Finally some help

Amazingly I've battled intestinal issues for over 2 decades (I'm pretty young). I've seen specialists, naturopaths, gone through intense times with many many different bathroom aides(not meaning to get gruesome) to no avail. I'm a small person so no concerns with over weight. It's actually been the opposite. Because food causes so much pain and anguish throughout my entire digestive tract, I always struggle to eat. I got to the point where I mostly ate peanut m&ms, bananas, coffee, tea, spoonfuls of peanut butter when I was desperately hungry and cigarettes to ease the pain from hunger. After week one (although I did eat some of my daughters tres leches birthday cake and paid the price) I was able to go to the bathroom on a daily basis. (at one time for a period of several years o was going 2-3 times every couple of weeks) I decided that this would be a way of life. I cant imagine going back. My body has been begging me to take away gluten, eggs have always made me nauseous, and dairy has always wreaked havoc. Splenda was the tough one. But I haven't gone back. Was it worth the try? Yes, for me it has been life changing
