Book ~ "Dr. Joshi's Holistic Detox: 21 Days to a Healthier, Slimmer You, for Life" - Nish Joshi (2006)

From Amazon.ca ~ This summer's hottest new health guru will give you a new year, new you sparkle, with the mass market edition of his craving-free detox. "If someone doesn't comment within two weeks on how great you're looking - then you're cheating.", says Dr Joshi. Dr Joshi's craving-free detox attracts stars and supermodels from all over the world to his Wimpole Street clinic. Now he reveals the secret of his metabolic detox dieting plan and explains how it has transformed the lives and health of celebrities such as Kate Moss, Cate Blanchett and Gwyneth Paltrow. Based on avoiding foods that are refined, acidic and toxic such as wheat, potatoes, red meat, alcohol and dairy produce, the idea is to alter the PH balance of the body from acid to alkaline - flushing toxins from the system, restoring energy levels and losing weight. It is also about 'cutting down' on certain foods rather than 'cutting out', and changing your palate so you will actually dislike the taste of those foods which are bad for you, so preventing cravings. By following Joshi's intensive three-week programme and three-week maintenance course any one of us can shake off the strain of a high-pressure life and get the body and energy-levels we've always dreamed of.

Similar to the detox meal plan I recently did but a bit stricter (for example, potatoes aren't allowed).
