Question by Jimmy: Is there a cheaper version of the Martha’s Vineyard Detox Diet?
Two friends of mine went on the Martha’s Vineyard Detox Diet (also known as 21 Pounds in 21 Days) one of them lost 70 pounds and the other 100 pounds, and they had tried everything and that is the only thing that worked and the most important thing is they have been able to keep the weight off. After the success that my friends had on this Detox Diet it made me curious to try it, as I have been overweight my whole life and just can’t lose the weight, but because I don’t have much money and the Martha’s Vineyard Detox Diet is quite expensive (seen at mvdietdetox.com) I am wondering if there is a cheaper alternative rather than having to pay hundreds for the detox kit, like a poor mans version of the detox diet but will be just as effective but will at least save me some money. Can I just by the stuff from my local store and make a home made version? Can you give me a list of what I need to buy and how to make the stuff?
Here is what is included in the detox kit that you can order off of the website (cost 9):
Supercleanse (2 Super sized bottles, Counts as 4 Pieces)
1 Protein Shake in Vanilla or Chocolate
2 Berry Drinks
1 VegeSplash in Apple/Carrot or Zesty Tomato
2 Essential Greens in Apple/Banana and/or Very Berry
1 Box Green Tea
1 Box Herbal Tea
Digestive Enzymes
Lilly of the Desert Aloe Vera Juice
Smooth Move Herbal Laxative Tea
Swiss Kriss Herbal Laxative 120 tablets
Stevia 50 packets
Bragg’s Liquid Amino Acids
Nighty Night Tea

You will lose more body fat eating protein and fat (don’t eat protein alone) than not eating AT ALL. To lose weight fast eat all you want but nothing but meat, eggs, healthy oils, mayo, butter and half an avocado a day (you’ll need added potassium). Keep your fat percentage high. Adding in green vegetables & some cheese will continue weight loss but at a slower pace.
If you starve yourself, your body will freak out and will want to store every ounce in case it doesn’t get nourished again. You need to give it adequate nourishment so it doesn’t slow your metabolism down to adjust for lower calories.
Simple carbohydrates (sugar, flour, bread, cereal, pasta, potatoes, rice) triggers insulin which can store the calories you eat into fat. The more protein you eat the more the fat burning hormone glucagon is released. The more carbohydrate you eat the more the fat storage hormone insulin is released.
Carbs are addictive and can be disastrous to our health. The best way to break the addiction is NO carbs for 3 days. Make a huge batch of deviled eggs and eat one every time you want “something” have huge omelets for breakfast, with bacon, a lil onion, peppers, mushrooms & cheese. Pork chops for lunch. Get pork rinds and eat them with tuna salad. Steak for dinner. Make a huge sugar free cheese cake for dessert. Eat so much you won’t feel deprived of anything. By the fourth day, your addiction will be gone and you can start making healthy choices.
High insulin levels unbalance other hormones. Controlling your insulin level will balance out other hormones & allow human growth hormone (HGH) to be produced naturally so you will gain lean muscle even without exercise. Any exercise will greatly increase your muscle mass with high HGH levels.
Reducing body fat and increasing muscle mass will have you in awesome shape in no time. Good luck!
