In his book Lose Weight Gain Shape Dr Mickey Mehta, "leading global holistic health guru,” offers a 28-day transformation plan for recharging and renewing the body, reigniting the mind and resurrecting the being. He advocates the concept of "intox” as opposed to "detox” based on the ancient wisdom of the enlightened masters, which he has explained at some length. Mehta has made use of mystical and philosophical language, along with detailed, illustrated charts for yoga, meditation, nutrition and exercise. He has even provided recipes for healthy meals.
The week-by-week plan is meant to be a guide to "align you and synchronize your biological circadian rhythm, harmonizing with a geo-magnetic universal rhythm to achieve a healthy state of being.” It maps out a person’s "journey towards celebration by creating productive workouts which help lose weight, gain shape, as well as serve the purpose of re-creation.”
Mehta has provided tips for achieving the desired end: make good dietary choices, eat at regular intervals, stay hydrated by drinking water throughout the day, get adequate exercise, sleep for at least seven to eight hours a day. Avoid alcohol, sugar, processed, canned and refined foods, butter and cheese, deep fried and oily items and salted nuts, he cautions. He also advocates keeping away from emotional toxins like negative thoughts, stress and painful experiences.
