you anything - we promise & it's all free. All we do is put a
wealth of weight-loss information at your finger tips, give you access to experts,

A Nutritionist Weighs in...
Many of the Martini Diet recommendations are unrealistic and downright wasteful (such as taking a few bites of food and throwing the rest away). This plan aims to create dieters who are completely self-absorbed and spend their time shopping instead of eating-not a very family-oriented plan. The tips for avoiding eating are tremendously unhealthy. It is okay to enjoy a small portion of a high fat food now and then; however, it is not healthy to avoid these foods by downing countless breath strips and chasing them with iced coffee.
These suggestions do little but encourage disordered eating behaviors. Some of the smarter suggestions include limiting alcohol consumption and ordering off the appetizer menu at restaurants to control portion sizes.
This diet is not practical for anyone who is serious about taking better care of their body and losing weight. The trashy, flashy, and condescending "girlie talk" gets old pretty quick too.
The Martini Diet is more a fun read than a serious lifestyle choice
This diet plan suggests that dieting is more like a hobby - this isn't really practical for those who are serious about losing weight or who have a great deal of weight to lose. Smaller portions are always a good idea, but are you really going to bring a martini glass to the table every meal for the rest of your life?
