According to authors Roni Deluz and James Hester, 21 days is all you need to lose 21 pounds and detox your life.  We all know that fat ages us and makes it nearly impossible to lead a normal and healthy life.

If you don't agree, just try bending over a fat belly and tying your shoes. Or try running (even walking) up a flight of stairs or sitting in a seat at your local movie theater.  Every excess pound puts strain on your joints, heart and other organs.

Roni DeLuz, RN, ND, PhD, is the founder of the Martha’s Vineyard Holistic Retreat at the Martha’s Vineyard Inn.  Colleague and co-author James Hester lost thirty pounds on the diet.  But this is no ordinary diet, this is a detox diet.  And it's no ordinary detox diet as it focuses on anti-aging antioxidants and stress reduction.

It also includes fasting and enemas; not everyone's cup of tea.  It eliminates all coffee, salt and probably most of the foods you eat daily.  It replaces these with lots of juice, green powder drinks, soups and vitamins.

You can purchase the detox kit for about $200.00 from the authors or do-it-yourself with the following:

• Enzyme supplements
• Stevia to replace sugar
• Herbal or Green Tea
• Purified water
• A herbal colon and liver cleanse formula
• Green power drinks - these are the best
• Antioxidant berry drinks
• Aloe Vera juice
• Protein drink for breaking the detox

Check with your doctor before considering this diet.
