Both diets are easy to follow and designed to encourage long-lasting habits for optimal health and weight. While there is no right or wrong answer to this question, JJ Virgin does offer the following tips for choosing between the two:

Start with The Virgin Diet if you:

• frequently experience gas and bloating
• struggle with chronic pain and/or inflammation
• have poor focus or mood swings
• crave dairy products such as milk, cheese, or ice cream
• have chronic skin issues like acne, rosacea, psoriasis, or eczema
• have an autoimmune disease
• have frequent GI issues such as heartburn, constipation, or diarrhea
• have difficulty losing weight, no matter what you try

Start with the Sugar Impact Diet if you:

• have excess belly fat, even if your arms and legs are thin
• often have energy crashes or feel fatigued, especially between meals
• frequently crave sweets or carb
• often struggle with brain fog or emotional eating
• have diabetes or hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)
• feel hungry all the time
• have elevated cholesterol or triglyceride levels
• have difficulty losing weight, no matter what you try

If you have symptoms from both lists, JJ recommends starting with The Virgin Diet first and following up with the Sugar Impact Diet to eliminate carb cravings for good.

Hi-FI stands for high food intolerance. The 7 Hi-FI foods that JJ refers to are corn, dairy, eggs, gluten, peanuts, soy, and sugar/artificial sweeteners. These foods are often the culprits behind inflammation, symptoms like headache and fatigue, and weight loss resistance.
