So . . . my husband and I started a short, two-week version of the 02 diet today, and so far, we're really liking it (although a bit munchy).
The idea is to eat nothing but foods rich in antioxidants, which help the body rid itself of free radicals. It's supposed to help prevent disease, aid in memory and brain power, and boost weight loss. I've been reading from other sources that many of the foods on this diet are ALSO good for clearing up "cottage cheese thighs", aka cellulite.
Most of the food is pretty good, and simple to make. I was a little iffy on the Greek yogurt for breakfast, because it seemed a bit bitter to me. I'm thinking if I get a fat-free vanilla-flavored version instead of the plain one, that might make it okay. Meanwhile, I expect the careful portions to get me back to eating smaller portions in general, and I like the idea of cleansing some of the junk out of my system.
If anyone out there's heard about this diet plan and is curious about it, I'll be posting more as I go along. The two-week plan should drop about 5-10 pounds if I do it right. I don't own a scale because I don't believe in stressing about numbers, but it should be noticeable in how my jeans fit.
