The detox program known as the Martha’s Vineyard, 21 Pounds In 21 Days Detox has a new follower in Steve Harvey. Harvey announced on his morning radio show that he was going to give the detox diet a try. The program originates in a book that is a New York Times Best Seller, called, “21 Pounds In 21 Days,” written by Roni De Luz. The book has actually been discussed on several national television shows including “The View,” and “CBS Morning Sunday”.

The diet is supposed to clean ones body from all toxins, while also allowing it to lose a ton of weight in a short amount of time. People following the diet must not chew or eat any food. It is based on only drinking, usually a blend of fruit and vegetable juices, every 2 hours, for 3 weeks. The belief behind this diet program is that the soups, and liquid vitamin packed fruit and vegetable drinks will detox the body, making your metabolism much faster. A faster metabolism will burn much more fat.

Although, “21 Pounds In 21 Days,” is incredible popular, many nutritionists say that its not a healthy way to lose weight. Any weight loss program that causes someone to lose an incredible amount of weight in a short period of time is often deemed unhealthy.

Steve Harvey, who has announced he is undertaking this program in an effort to lose some extra pounds, is an actor, writer, radio and television personality, and comedian. In addition to hosting his own morning radio show, the 53 year old is also currently the host of Family Feud.
