IS A NEW TEEN DIET DO-ABLE OR DANGEROUS? - 04/26/12 11:20 AM
It turns traditional weight-loss wisdom on its head, with advice such as skip breakfast and blow up balloons.
Published as an e-book it has shot to No1 in the iTunes health and fitness book chart.
With its teen-friendly title (OMG being youth speak for “oh my god”) the book is squarely aimed at young women who want to lose up to 20lb in six weeks.
The book is divided into three plans of varying severity called Wave, Blaze and Quake. The plan you follow depends on how quickly you want to lose weight. Carbs are restricted, as is fruit and Venice suggests protein should make up half of each meal. Vegetables are unlimited but some, such as potatoes and carrots, are excluded.
No diet should be entered into without consulting a doctor but some experts recommend avoiding this book altogether.
