Continued from Gwyneth Paltrow’s Detox Diet.

Why celebrities are seem to be obsessed with bowel movements? Is it just me or do you find it rather peculiar as well? If you have been wondering how Gwyneth Paltrow’s detox plan came about, wonder no more.

Gwyneth Paltrow’s detox plan is a product of Dr. Alejandro Junger and comes from his upcoming book Clean. And yes, the bowel movement is an important part of his detox plan.

Gwyneth Paltrow’s detox plan (click here to see it) How did she come up with her new detox plan? She did not. Her doctor, Dr. Alejandro Junger, created it for her. Why does she need a detox plan to begin with? Gwyneth says that she needs to lose a few pounds, but she did not want to use the Master Cleanse, so she asked Junger for a new plan. Has she ever heard of a normal diet? I guess not.

Anyway, while Gwyneth Paltrow’s detox plan is better than the Master Cleanse, which she apparently does not like, it has nothing on the Lemon Juice Diet, and it still calls for starting each day by drinking “lemon water and herbal tea.”

What’s wrong with Gwyneth Paltrow’s detox plan? First of all, it is completely unnecessary. Second, it seems to be low in calories; maybe it does provide enough calories for an average person, but just barely.

Third, it seems to be high in sugar; in my opinion, all those juices and smoothies are not sufficiently balanced with protein, which means that your blood sugar levels are likely to go on a wild ride. [via]
