The Virgin Diet

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. Nutrition and fitness expert JJ Virgin reveals the real secret behind weight gain--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, 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, clear up inflammation and look and feel years younger. 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.

Now in paperback and featuring a new introduction and more of JJ's favorite recipes.
