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.

Avoid this book altogether! Extreme weight loss efforts such as this are the exact thing that coaches and organizations should NOT promote. These methods are dangerous at all ages and should not be integrated into the youth populations. All people should suggest proper balanced diet and appropriate amounts of exercise for sustainable weight loss. Books like this mold a teen when proper eating and physical activity habits should be established. Bad habits run rampant now a days. We should educate with sound, established, safe practices that can be followed for a lifetime. I am here and work to help mold educated, safe, and great citizens and this is not safe nor proper education in my opinion. Take the money you would use on this and put it toward a consult with a registered dietitian or nutritionist and you may spend a little more but you can't ask questions to a book and get a response either.
