Jungle Effect
The Jungle Effect by Daphne Miller, MD.
The Jungle Effect in a nutshell: Pick a culture, eat its native diet, and you can lose weight and improve your health, according to Daphne Miller, MD, an associate clinical professor of integrative medicine and nutrition at the University of California, San Francisco.
The pound promise behind The Jungle Effect: Varies. One of Miller’s patients dropped 14 pounds in two months by switching to an Amazonian diet, but how many people can realistically try an Amazonian diet? Not many, obviously.
Steal this tip: For a low-cal snack, try jicama spiced with lime juice and chili powder.
The bottom line: This is a healthy whole-foods approach – with weight loss as a happy side effect, but I think most people are not going to find this book very practical. [source: Health]
