21 pounds in 21 days Diet – Is it effective?

The comedian Steve Harvey announced on his morning show that he’s decided to follow the “Lose 21 Pounds in 21 Days” Martha’s Vineyard Diet Detox, according to Gossip Jackal. The diet program encourages people to sip fruit and vegetable juices every two hours for three weeks.

While the idea of losing a pound a day can sound appealing to a frustrated dieter, experts say it is not healthy. A diet that encourages only juice consumption is a recipe for failure, says celebrity nutritionist Christine Avanti. “Where is the fiber if everything is all blended up?” she says. “And fruit drinks can cause blood sugar to spike.”
