The 14-day plan combines diet and exercise. While weight loss can result from just dieting or just exercise, research has shown that a combination of both is the key to long-term results (it was also the ideal prescription for reducing blood pressure in a recent study).

Combining diet and exercise also helps to avoid the counterproductive changes to fat metabolism that can occur through dieting alone, according to a recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
