As a dietitian, I’m not a fan of short-term, quick-fix diet plans. They tend to lead you right back where you started, with perhaps a few extra pounds (restricting tends to lead to binging) and maybe even some shame and disappointment in yourself. Instead, incorporate some of the positive tenets of the diet, like eating more whole foods — fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds, lean proteins — while limiting highly processed foods, alcohol, candy and sugary beverages. There’s also no harm in adding one of the smoothie recipes into your daily menu rotation, but there’s no need to consume three a day.
