"Taco Scientists" Create 30-Day Taco Cleanse

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – If you could eat tacos for a month as a way to lose weight, would you do it?

A group of self-proclaimed "taco scientists" in Austin created a 30-day "taco cleanse" but they aren't the tacos you're used to.

The group published a book with over 75 vegan recipes for a healthier take on the Mexican favorite.

Health professionals say if you can make your favorite taco healthier- do it.

Jennifer Herriott of San Antonio Metropolitan Health District says, "Beans are so good for us. If you can wrap those inside of a lettuce leaf or a corn tortilla, I think that is a great option."

The book's author say this will be the last diet you may ever need.
