“21 Pounds in 21 Days: The Martha’s Vineyard Diet Detox,” by Roni DeLuz with James Hester (Collins, ISBN 978-0-06-117617-3, 229 pages, $24.95)

It may be hard to think of Martha’s Vineyard without musing on delectable fudge, heaping platters of seafood and fine wines. Weight loss? I don’t think so. But Roni DeLuz, a registered nurse, naturopathic doctor and founder of the Martha’s Vineyard Holistic Retreat, has found a way to combine the best of the Vineyard with healthy living and eating. Written with James Hester, a former record company executive who now works with DeLuz, “21 Pounds in 21 Days” takes readers on a journey to understand foods and the ways we process them, using the life experiences of real people to illustrate changes we all can make for better health.
