The Virgin Diet?
Replies

Another b.s. diet concocted by a know-nothing celebrity "trainer".
Don't eat:
Gluten
Soy
Dairy
Eggs
Corn
Peanuts
Sugar
Really? "But it must be true! Her book was on the NY Times bestseller list...."
This is almost exactly like my diet, except instead of simply restricting myself because of fad *kitten*, I can't eat most of this list because it will make me gravely ill...
Though I do eat sugar. Lots and lots of sugar. :disagree:0 -

Really? A thread full of virgin jokes and the atheist joke is the one that gets flagged?
(By the way, I love you all.) XD0 -
In another thread, someone commented that they had seen another MFPer logging calories burned in "self-pleasure." Maybe that's the Virgin workout plan? IDK, it's been a long time....
Of course people on this fad diet lose weight. They aren't allowed to eat anything but rocks and bark, washed down with unicorn tears. (Oh, I'm sorry, only Non GMO and Organic Unicorn Tears. my bad.)0 -
Does the virgin have more calories or macros if her name is Mary?0

The virgin diet is not really about weightloss, weight loss is a side effect. The main idea behind the diet emilinating imflamitory foods and foods most associated with food allergies and sensitivites. WHen you eliminate these foods for a set period of time (I think its something like 6 weeks) then you give your body a chance to repair any damage that may have been caused be years of eating foods that inflame. After the initial period, you add foods back in one at a time and see how your body reacts sot hat you can know what foods may infame and cause issues for you and what foods do not. I did the virgin diet a couple years ago becaue I was having frequent stomach pain. I found out that dairy products are a real issue for me and have since eliminated them. I also no longer eat soy products as I found they made my PMS symptoms awful! It was really useful for me, and I did lose weight, but the main concept of the diet is giving your obdy a chance to heal by elminating infamitory foods and helping you identify what foods are good for your body and what are not. its really jsut a clean eating plan with a focus on food sentitivites. I also drank wine on the regualr while I did this diet, I was a bad virgin
and the virgin part of the diet comes from the creators last name which, in and of itself, is unfortunate.0 -

Inflammation is not always caused by food. Other causes are infections, stress, exposure to pollutants, lack of sleep, and - surprise surprise - obesity. There are so many factors, that it's hard to claim Diet X is what will cure your inflammation. I used to have chronic inflammation in my leg to the point of needing medication if I had to sit for long periods of time. Once I lost 85 lbs, it went away completely. And yes, I still eat pretty much everything on the "bad" list. YMMV.0 -

Thanks for providing this clarification. The title of the diet is very unfortunate. She is not the first person to come up with this concept. There are similar plans out there based on food elimination to reduce inflammatory response. Every body is different and reacts different to different foods. Although I don't believe in all of Ms Virgin's claims in her book, I do think there is some relevance to the concept. The important part is that healthy foods are added back in once you know that your body tolerates them.0
