Every Body’s Different with This Diet Plan

They say that no two people are alike, so does that mean there is no “one size fits all” diet plan? According to Lyn-Genet Recitas, author of the radical new weight loss book—The Plan—there isn’t. According to Recitas, your weight is nothing more than a reflection of your body’s chemical reaction to foods. You’re not eating too many carbs, or too much fat, or too many calories. You’re simply eating certain reactive foods that are triggering an inflammatory response.

So what foods should you be eating? How long will it take to notice results with a new approach to eating? If you can commit twenty days to The Plan, you’ll notice what foods your body reacts to and that will lead you to more informed food choices.

The Plan has three phases. Phase One is the three day cleanse, which is an easy detox to create a neutral base line in your body. Phase Two is a testing phase that finds which specific foods at restaurants or at home can be considered “friendly” or “reactive.” Phase Three is called Testing on Your Own and consists of creating your own menu based on your body’s responses. Once you hit phase three, The Plan becomes a natural and easy way of life.

The Plan will guide you through each of the three phases and give you examples and recipes to help adjust your eating habits. Also included is a step-by-step guide filled with dozens of recipes and strategies you can use to figure out your own body and its reaction to certain foods. Believe it or not, foods like chocolate-covered strawberries, homemade nutella, and zucchini pizza are all examples of recipes you will find in The Plan.
