A new diet cleanse is hitting the world by storm, and it allows people to eat nothing but tacos.

While the premise might sound silly, reports are in that the cleanse actually shows results. According to E-Online, the taco cleanse has become so popular that the first edition of "The Taco Cleanse: The Tortilla-Based Diet Proven to Change Your Life" is currently sold out.

What is the secret behind the new fad diet? Can someone actually lose weight by just eating tacos?

To answer that question, a deeper look into the diet must be made.

First off, it must be said that this taco cleanse isn't for everyone. A doctor should approve of any diet or cleanse to make sure it is safe for the body.

Next, according to Taco Cleanse, those who partake of the diet will not be eating regular tacos. Instead, they will be eating a variety of vegan-based recipes focused on cleansing the body while maintaining taste and fun.

It is also important that you follow the recipes in the book and not add any meat or animal by-products as it will defeat the purpose of the cleanse. Those who are looking for variety should not worry as the book has over 70 recipes to choose from.

Lastly, as with any diet or cleanse, one must always see it through to the end to see lasting benefits. Cleansers have reported that these lasting benefits began to show after only 30 days.

The taco cleanse was founded by the four authors of the book Wes Alison, Stephanie Bogdanich, Molly Frisinger and Jessica Morris. My Statesman reports that the four friends thought of the idea after a night of fun.

The four friends were out for drinks one night when Morris stated that someone had mentioned they had only eaten tacos for a whole day. Morris then stated that they should do the same but for three days instead.

It was here where Bogdanich stated that they should make it a month and insisted the tacos should be vegan.

Frisinger soon tweeted and blogged about the idea of a taco cleanse, and the idea went viral soon after.

It should be noted that each of the friends have a background in dieting or lifestyle changes. Morris even owns a store called "Rabbit Food Grocery."
