How Many Calories Will You Burn Doing Chores This Weekend?
Dylan Armajani: Run Past Your Goals and Find Yourself
Our Reviewer Says ...
"You won't count calories, do weird food combinations or endure phases of different eating patterns when you follow a macrobiotic diet. This is more of a lifestyle plan than a diet that has a Zen-like attitude toward food and life."
At a Glance
Created by alternative medicine expert Dr. Mark Hyman, "The UltraSimple Diet" is a seven-day fasting program that helps dieters reduce toxins and inflammation within the body. According to Hyman, after these issues are removed, your body can renew and restore itself. For dieters, this rejuvenation includes losing weight (up to ten pounds in one week!).
The program involves following six basic steps: 1) Avoiding foods that cause toxicity and inflammation. 2) Eating foods that detoxify and reduce inflammation. 3) Drinking a special cleansing broth (the recipe is in the book) that also acts as a laxative. 4) Drinking anti-inflammatory shakes. 5) Taking a detoxifying bath every night. And finally, 6) Writing what you're learning and how you're feeling in a journal as you perform the entire seven-day cycle.
