The Skinny Vegan DietThe Skinny Vegan Diet is one of the celebrity favorites. This diet is designed to make you lose weight and get an extremely thin and model like body. As the name suggests, this is a vegetarian diet so not for the meat lovers.The diet is based on a book "Skinny B****" (sorry, I can’t give you the full name due to the language but you get the idea). The book was written by former model Kim Barnouin and former model agent Rory Freedman. The name is over the top and so is the language in the book but let's focus on the meat (or meatless) and bones of this diet. This is basically a vegan eating plan that detoxifies the body. The Basics of the Skinny Vegan Diet  As a vegan eating plan, there are no animal fats
allowed. Although the book is marketed as a “diet plan”, a
lot is also based on the author’s mutual passion for animal
rights. So for this diet you have to forego all meats, fish,
fowl or anything made with animal fat or products including
eggs. According to the creators, animal products are ruining
our organs and overloading our intestines. With this fad diet you won’t count calories. You can eat how ever much you want so long as it does not include any of the “off limit” foods. Here are a few of the foods that are allowed on the Skinny Vegan diet plan:
They do allow some processed foods like soy ice cream and veggie fries but that’s it. Usually you eat when you are hungry or every few hours, but here, you wait until you are starving to know the feeling of true hunger. There are more banned foods than foods you can eat. If you aren’t sure, anything that you are used to eating is probably not allowed. Downfalls of the Skinny Vegan Diet The emphasis here is on cleansing the body to reprogram it to accept healthier foods. Unfortunately, this diet doesn’t list nutritional information or go by any known guidelines for daily nutritional requirements. In fact, many vegans and vegetarians have issues with getting enough protein with the absence of meat. You will encounter the same issue here. Other vitamins are also probably missing from the mix here as well. Although you would probably lose weight because you are eating next to nothing, the lack of proper nutrients is not a healthy approach. And remember, when you eat too few calories you are slowing down your metabolism. This means when you go back to a normal eating plan, your metabolic rate is now slower. End result usually means gaining the weight back and possibly even more than when you started this fad diet. Summary of the Skinny Vegan Diet To wrap up this review, in short this definitely falls into the fad diet category and should be avoided if you are trying to lose weight the healthy way. Before trying something this extreme, be sure to check out these eating healthy tips. Just a few simple (non extreme) changes can make a difference.
