The Digest Diet

More about the book

This 21-day weight-loss plan is built on innovative science and newly discovered foods and habits that promote fat release. Reader's Digest has meticulously analyzed weight-loss research to curate effective foods, recipes, and habits that enable safe and rapid slimming. The program identifies key factors in eating, environment, and exercise that contribute to weight gain and provides strategies to counteract them. The plan unfolds in three stages: Fast Release, Fade Away, and Finish Strong. Each phase emphasizes fat-releasing foods, adjusting calorie and macronutrient ratios to optimize results. Fast Release features a 12-minute workout combining strength training and HIIT for an effective fat-burning jumpstart. The Fade Away phase focuses on lean proteins and nutrient-rich greens while maintaining a daily shake, reducing carbohydrates for enhanced fat loss. In the final week, Finish Strong promotes a balanced, wholefoods diet rich in fat releasers. A comprehensive list includes items like Vitamin C, Calcium, Protein, and Coconut Oil, alongside a cheat sheet of fat-releasing foods such as broccoli, grapefruit, and dark chocolate. The plan includes a 21-day meal plan, 50 recipes with photos, a workout calendar, success stories, and additional online resources to support your weight loss journey. Results from testers, including one who lost 26 pounds in three weeks, are truly inspiring.
