Description
Your fat is not your fault. New York Times bestseller The Virgin Diet explains why food intolerances may be the missing link when you just can’t lose the weight, no matter what you try.
Are you eating all the right things but still can't shift the numbers on the scale? If your “healthy” choices include foods like low-fat yogurt, egg white omelets, whole-grain bread, diet soda, and tofu, then your food may be to blame.
