The Diet Detox: Why Your Diet Is Making You Fat and What to Do About It: 10 Simple Rules to Help You Stop Dieting, Start Eating, and Lose the Weight for Good Kindle Edition
We're addicted to fad diets, cleanses, and programs that promise miracles in minutes. But when diets have expiration dates, so do the results. After those popular 30-day diets end, people slide back into the same bad habits that led them to gain weight in the first place. Nationally recognized nutrition expert Brooke Alpert has seen this happen far too often. She knows that in order to lose the weight and keep it off, you must develop habits that will help you stop dieting and start eating well for the rest of your life—not just the rest of the month.
In The Diet Detox, Brooke shares the diet advice she would give to her friends. Engaging and encouraging, this visually friendly, easy-to-use guide lays out a set of 10 simple rules meant to teach people how to eat for lifelong health. Along with Brooke's expert advice, you'll find:
• A one-week kickstart program
• Nutritionist-tested weekly food plans and shopping lists
• 45 delicious recipes—each with no more than 5 ingredients
• 10 doable, effective high intensity interval workouts from one of NYC's top gyms
This is not a demanding, complicated program that leaves you hanging after you're finished reading—this is a lifestyle manual that will help you form healthy eating habits that last the rest of your life.
The Diet Detox is the practical, non-diet diet book that everyone should read, whether they want to lose weight, get healthy, or just stay that way. Brooke's 10 simple rules will be the last you'll ever need: stop dieting and take control of your weight and your health—for good.

I'm now most of the way through my first week following Diet Detox's 10 rules. I love that they're easy to remember, so I'm never worried that I'm screwing it up. If I'm sitting down to a meal, I just run through it in my head: do I have protein and fiber on my plate? Do I have the correct starch portion? Where is my fat coming from?
Regardless of what the scale says, by following this lifestyle for just 2 weeks and getting into a consistent exercise routine, I can tell that my stomach is smaller and my pants are fitting looser all around.
When I am on diet, I don't like to omit food groups all together, so I recommend this book to anyone interested in eating more consciously and sensibly. It's very easy to follow with options. I enjoyed choosing which meal to save my carbohydrate! It's impossible for me to give up starches so I was relieved to know the plan allowed for once-a-day in the Kick-Starter week. The recipes are really good so that's a bonus. I also read Alpert's book "The Sugar Detox" which was more intense but an excellent education on sneaky sources of sugar! I feel much more energetic after just a week on the Diet Detox and have far fewer cravings for sugary, processed foods. I would highly recommend this book to others wanting to break the cycle of making bad food choices and eating the junk food in their house!
