How Does the Martha’s Vineyard Diet Work?
Dr. DeLux teaches dieters how to detoxify their bodies in just 21 days of healthier eating. According to DeLux, popular foods and common dietary choices are often ridden with chemicals and harsh preservatives. These elements create toxins in the body, leading to increased weight gain, poor health, and negative consequences. To detoxify, DeLux advocates that dieters should implement a more natural food regimen, which includes an increase in foods such as:
- Homemade juices from fresh fruits and vegetables
- Homemade soups from fresh fruits and vegetables
- Utilizing and ingesting fresh ingredients such as:
- Lemons
- Blueberries, raspberries, and other berries
- Ginger and natural herbs / flavorings
- Kale
- Spinach
- Cucumber
- Carrots
To follow the program, DeLux asserts that dieters should engage in the 21 days of detoxification at least one a year. The program can be completed in 21 consecutive days, or can be broken up into three separate weeks or separate weekends.
