Want to drop a bit of extra weight in a jiffy? Lyn-Genet Recitas, author of THE PLAN, has a surprising three-day solution.
Salmon. Greek yogurt. Cauliflower. Strawberries. Oatmeal. These foods are staples in any health-conscious womans diet. But Lyn-Genet Recitas, a Manhattan-based naturopathic nutritionist, sees things differently. In her New York Times bestselling book, The Plan, Recitas says that these and many other seemingly healthy foods may actually trigger inflammatory responses, leading to gastrointestinal distress, headaches, fatigue and weight gain.
To test the theory, Recitas recommends resetting your body with a three-day cleanse. Her elimination diet, which has been featured on The Dr. Oz Show and Fox News, isnt about eating less. The idea is to consume only foods thought to be non-reactiveblueberries, flaxseed and chicken, to name a fewfor three days. Recitas says the cleanse, which includes three meals and a snack, aims to give your system a break from potentially inflammatory triggers. This is about slowing down and listening to your body, she says. As a bonus, she reports that participants lose an average of five pounds over the three days.
For women runners interested in a cleanse, we like this one because it focuses on whole foods, its not overly restrictive (there is no limit on the amount of veggies and seeds you may eat) and it includes a healthy number of calories (roughly 1,800 per day). Try it out during a period when youre not running long distances to see what all the buzz is about.
