Angelina Jolies Martha Vineyard Detox Diet Experiment


Martha's Vineyard Detox Diet Angelina Jolies Martha Vineyard Detox Diet Experiment.

Angelina Jolie is truly a great actress and a devoted one too. And like other devoted actors she sometimes goes to extremes to get the job perfectly right. That's why I wasn't surprised when I read a news item on how Angelina Jolie recently went on the Martha Vineyard Detox diet in an attempt to lose 21 lbs in 21 days for an upcoming movie role. Talk about dedication. And here I thought that she was already slim.

Just so you know, the Martha Vineyard detox diet allows you to drink liquids every 2 hours in order to cleanse your system. No solid food is allowed whatsoever, which is like most other detox diets, although some do allow some solid exceptions. But while I always recommend that no one stays on a detox diet for longer than 10 days, Angelina Jolie is going for the full 21 days.

Well, it appears that the famous Hollywood actress has decided to alter the diet a bit and to add some small meals. Why? Because she began suffering from fatigue. That's what the reports say.

Well, I am not surprised because she choose a very low calorie detox diet which doesn't provide the body with much available energy. In fact, the main goal here is to not just flush the body clean but to create a massive calorie deficit which would lead to a fast weight loss.

However, trying to remain on a detoxifying diet for 21 days is a guaranteed way to suffer from fatigue. There is not getting around it. Your body is just starving for food and if you deprive it for too long, it will just lose all its energy. Apparently not even Hollywood stars, with their resources and access to experts can escape this fundamental fact.

What can we learn from Angelina Jolie's experiment with this detox diet?

1. That you shouldn't attempt to stay on a detox diet for too long. 10 Days is the max. I advise less than a week myself.

2. That trying to lose 21 lbs in 21 days is, while possible, not recommended.

I have nothing against detox diets myself, although I recommend the Master Cleanse as it's the detox diet I trust the most. However, they should be used for a short time only and only as a way to jumpstart a weight loss process. The true way to achieve a long term weight loss process is through a sensible diet and regular exercise.
