review 1: This was an interesting read. She says to drop all High Inflammation foods: wheat, milk, soy, eggs, sugar, corn and peanuts. Then, add them back and see if you are affected. I am not planning to do her whole plan, but she convinced me to cut way back on sugar, corn and milk. (I already don't do gluten or soy). So, here's the deal, I think I actually feel better! Cool! The funny thing about this book is she says over and over, "drop the 7 foods, lose 7 pounds in 7 days, feel better and look younger." It's a Harlequin book. Lol. But it has some good facts and information.
review 2: When I first saw the Virgin Diet in Barnes and Nobles I thought it was another fad diet book that was hype and would not work so I passed. Then I won the Virgin Diet through First Rea
... moreds. So I thought "ok...I am meant to read this so I will give it a go." A day orvso after receiving the book in the mail I was admitted to the hospital for what I thought was just a stomach virus and low bp but turned out my intestines were extremely inflamed and mildly infected. This was a wake up call to me to get my life organized and get back to being healthy. While recovering I started reading The Virgin Diet and at a follow up Dr appt my doc said to continue reading that (I was reading it while waiting) and to follow the diet it will help my digestive ans intestinal problem. Ok I thought I really was meant to read this. So for my review. The Virgin Diet is a must read. It really does work. Within the first week I lost 7 lbs and by week 2 I am down 9 lbs. For me it is easy to follow as I need to heal my body after having 2 children and lose the baby weight that has not budged since having my second daughter last year. I got my co workers turned on to it also and a few clients. All have lost weight. I feel healthy, lost weight and no longer have mommy brain or brain fog even with waking multiple times a night. The only part I did not agree with in this book is JJ Virgin is against a vegetarian or vegan diet and recommends we need animal proteins as it did not work for her 20 some years ago. As a vegan I do not agree to thus as we can get more than enough protein from other sources as my blood work and numerous studies has proven. This section bothered me as it is innacurate. As for dropping the 7 foods I do agree with that.I definitely recommend the Virgin Diet for thise who are struggling to become healthy again and lose those unwanted pounds. less

Great start to thinking about how food sensitivities can affect your overall health in subtle ways.

Doesn't work. Badly written, which I would have forgiven IF it had worked.
