Some of its most famous followers are ‘Big Little Lies’ actress Nicole Kidman and the Clintons. The diet reportedly costs $4,400 a year to keep making meals in the plan just a bit more expensive than one’s regular daily fare. In comparison, the everyday American reportedly just spends $2,641 annually on food.
