The straightest path to fast weight loss and reclaiming your energy and health is… eating! And I’m going to make sure you enjoy every forkful. Your plate will be packed with the perfect balance of clean, lean protein, healthy fats, nonstarchy veggies, and slow, low carbs. They’ll send your body all the right messages about blood sugar and insulin, fullness and hunger, and mood and energy. But even too much healthy food can be, well, too much, so I’ll make sure you’re eating the right portions, too. I think you’re going to be amazed by how you’ll lose weight, look younger, and feel better fast, without feeling hungry or deprived!
I’ve laid out my program in three easy-to-follow cycles that will attack your weight loss resistance where it lives: in high-SI, hidden sugar—the kind that wrecks your metabolism and hijacks your waistline.
If you’re eating high-SI foods, it’s no surprise you’re having a tough time shaking that stubborn extra weight and that your energy is in the dumps. You’re also probably dealing with health issues you’re not connecting to what you’re eating. When you eliminate high-SI foods, you’ll not only lose weight, but you’ll have more energy, sleep better, and get back your youthful, glowing skin! Even if you started the Sugar Impact Diet to lose weight, once you see how good you look and feel, you’ll never want to go back to high-SI foods. Never ever.
So if you have any anxiety at all about how the heck you’re going to get sugar—your best go-to buddy in times of need—out of your life, rest assured that this cookbook holds your hand every step of the way. My recipes are all medium and low SI, so you can cook and eat worry free (no counting calories!)—all while wondering how such delicious food could be lower sugar!
All my recipes are appropriate for Cycle 2 unless they’re specifically designated for Cycles 1 and/or 3.
