SPRINGVILLE, Calif., March 3, 2004 — The Coconut Diet, The Tropical Low-carb Weight-loss program, was launched in February of 2004. Developed by Cherie Calbom, a nutritionist internationally known to millions as the Juice Lady, and Marianita Shilhavy, a dietician and nutritionist from the Philippines, this program will be featured at the Natural Products Expo West show March 5th through March 6th, in Anaheim, California. Ms. Calbom will be present at the Tropical Traditions booth on Friday and Saturday, at booth number 4689.
The Coconut Diet is a low carbohydrate diet that encourages the consumption of healthy fats, especially coconut oil, which has unique health properties and increases the body's metabolism leading to weight loss. Nutritionists Cherie Calbom and Marianita Shilhavy have developed the Coconut Diet by combining traditional wisdom from the tropics with modern research. Author of Juicing for Life (Avery, 1992), with over 2 million copies in print worldwide, Cherie Calbom uses her juicing protocols to help cleanse the body of toxins that we accumulate in today's polluted modern society. Marianita Shilhavy, a Filipino, grew up on a coconut plantation in the Philippines and went on to become a nutritionist and dietician in the Philippines. Together they have developed The Coconut Diet that is helping people worldwide to shed pounds and find new energy and health! Many case histories can be found in the archives of Tropical Traditions' discussion group, coconut-info, hosted at Yahoo groups (http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/coconut-info/), which has become one of the largest natural health discussion groups on the Internet with close to 6000 members.
Testimonials like the following are seen on almost a daily basis: "I have been taking a tablespoon of coconut oil three times daily with meals. Taking the oil with my meals seems to give me a 'full feeling' a lot faster. My sweet tooth has practically vanished — and this is from someone who should have bought stock in Hershey's long ago! About three days into the routine, I had an energy rush on a Saturday morning that kept me going until well after lunch. I can't believe how much I got done that day! My mental state of mind seemed to be much sharper. I was able to focus on the tasks at hand without getting sidetracked. I was not exhausted at the end of running my errands. In addition to my energy level, my mood has been very stable — no up and down mood swings — even with the onset of PMS! My husband commented yesterday on how soft and silky my skin felt, and I have not used any lotion since I started taking the oil." – Teresa
