A new diet fad is making the rounds. The M Plan promises
to make you skinny in 14 days, taking away fat only around your waist and hips, leaving
your bust alone. Just eat mushrooms every day and see a slimmer you in two
weeks.
Katy Perry and Kelly Osbourne both swear by the M Plan. They
credit mushroom meals for their slender figures. Could this be true? And how
can mushrooms selectively burn fat strictly from the rib-cage down?
The M Plan is easy to understand. You merely replace one
meal a day with exclusively mushrooms. Yes, that’s it. Mushrooms instead of
lunch, for example. For best results, choose organic mushrooms and eat them
raw. Kelly Osbourne said that she dropped two dress sizes in two weeks on the M
Plan. Sounds pretty good, right?
Clearly, swapping out that double cheeseburger and fries
for a plate of raw mushrooms will probably help you to lose weight. Mushrooms
are low in calories, high in fiber, iron and protein, and they are still a
primary export of Delaware (right behind explosives, if memory serves). There
are many different varieties of mushrooms, too, which helps avoid the monotony
that plagues many single-ingredient diets.
But how can the M Plan direct the weight loss to your
waist and hips? It would seem that fat cells are fat cells are fat cells. Well,
it turns out that there is no scientific basis for this claim whatsoever.
Nutritionists are quick to point out that there is no way that mushrooms could
cause site-specific reductions in weight or inches. So sad!
Could the M Plan be the answer to a pear-shaped figure?
Probably not so much. Mushrooms are wonderful, though, and eating them in place
of high-fat foods is a great start toward a healthier diet!
