The Martha's Vineyard Diet

The diet also relies on many supplements and services that leave most doctors and nutritionists shaking their heads in disbelief. (In fact, the book even instructs you on how to explain the concept of detoxing to your doctor, since they'll most likely be alarmed when you tell them what you're about to do.) Some of the treatments the program recommends are so outrageous they bring into question the validity of the program itself, such as having lymph drainage massages, cellulite treatments, a liver flush and even spending up to an hour a day on a "Chi machine" -- a device that swings your legs back and forth to improve the flow of your "life force." It even suggests that jumping on a trampoline three times a week detoxifies your lymphatic system and purges fluid from it, causing you to lose weight.
