THE 22-DAY REVOLUTION is more than just a diet program. It’s a radical plant-based nutrition program designed to transform you, mentally, emotionally, and physically, in a mere 22 days.
Why 22 days? Well, common wisdom tells us that it takes 21 days to create good habits or replace bad habits, so The 22-Day Revolution is specifically designed to empower and teach you to create habits that will lead to a lifetime of superior health and disease prevention, along with the long-term maintenance of your ideal weight.
If you’ve never tried a plant-based, or vegan, diet before, you’re in for a treat. Vegan diets, contrary to the beliefs of many, don’t involve listlessly chewing on kale and celery all day. No, instead, a well-designed vegan nutrition program is hearty, delicious, satisfying, and will leave you without any cravings or hunger pangs. And let’s not forget that vegan diets have been proven to lower your risk of cancer, heart disease, and diabetes and decrease cholesterol levels and blood pressure.
Marco Borges’s 22-Day Revolution is groundbreaking—the manifesto of one of the most well-known physiologists of our time. He lays out in clear detail all of the fundamentals of beginning a plant-based diet, tips for making the most out of the program, easy, delicious recipes, and a 22-day meal plan.
MARCO BORGES IS AN exercise physiologist, life coach, and the founder of The 22-Day Nutrition. He has directly changed the lives and bodies of famous clients, like Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Jennifer Lopez, Gloria Estefan, Shakira, and Pharrell Williams with his trailblazing methods and expertise. In fact, Beyoncé is such a believer of his program that she partnered with Borges to launch 22 Days Nutrition, Borges’s vegan home delivery meal service. Borges is also the author of Power Moves: The Four Motions to Transform Your Body for Life.
The book you’re reading right now is not meant to be a substitute for The 22-Day Revolution but, instead, a supplement. We recommend using it to quickly refresh yourself on the key principles found in Borges’s book and to bolster your understanding of the material with the analysis and additional resources we provide.
BORGES’S 22-Day Revolution diet plan is a plant-based program, the primary objective of which is fast, healthy weight loss and the prevention of disease. Its basic principles are fairly simple—eat until you’re about eighty percent full and craft a diet plan that consists of eighty percent carbohydrates, ten percent fat, and ten percent protein. The plan also prescribes thirty minutes of exercise per day and, of course, drinking lots of water. The aim of the program is to learn to listen to your body, understand the difference between emotional and psychological hunger and real, physical hunger, and long-term weight loss.
