A diet based on carrots is the recommended program at new website CarrotsOnly.com. “After an exhaustive 15 year beta study, we are excited to offer our carrots diet to the public,” CarrotsOnly.com president Kent Billings said. “Carrots are good for your eyes, lower cholesterol and help prevent heart attacks and cancer. On our carrots only program, consumers will lose weight and live better lives.”
Followers of the diet eat 40 to 50 carrots a day every day and eat nothing else. “I feel better than ever,” said Greg Gilando, an recent advocate of the system, “and I can see like a hawk!”
Carrots are packed with beta carotene which converts to vitamin A in the body — Vitamin A helps improve vision. Beta carotene also gives carrots their color- Mr. Gilando’s skin has turned a dark shade of orange and green leaves are beginning to grow on his head. “I just tell people I am using a self-tanner,” he said.
