This is where it all begins. You’ll look back on the moment you start the Sugar Impact Diet as one of the big turning points in your life, so take a good look around!
I’ve included seven of the most popular meal plans in this cookbook to help you fine-tune the Sugar Impact Diet for your specific needs. But if you don’t see yourself in these meal plans, there are many more at http://sugarimpact.com/resources. They target conditions like high blood pressure and menopause, and offer support for everything from being on a budget to throwing a low-SI bash. More than one may apply—if you’re an athlete dealing with food intolerance, you may want to incorporate the Virgin Diet while you’re lowering your Sugar Impact. Or you may be paleo and trying to feed a finicky family. Mix and match to suit!
Also, I’ve built these meal plans to give you a lot of variety each week. If you prefer to repeat meals and keep it simple or you’re cooking for one or two, you can opt to have your leftovers from dinner for lunch the next day, or repeat your evening meal two days in a row. These meal plans are meant to be a starting guide, not an absolute.
I think you’ll be surprised by how quickly you’ll kick your sugar habit. Your sensitivity to it could reset in just a few days, which means super energy, stable moods, and weight loss will follow, fast. You’ll be eating foods that shift you from burning sugar to burning fat and begin to heal you (you may even see a dramatic reduction in your symptoms right away). On average, my clients lose 10 pounds in the 2 weeks of Cycle 2—and you can, too, just by following the recipes and meal plans in this cookbook. That’s why you’re here, right? To lose weight and feel better fast? You’ll get there soon, and you’ll never want to leave.
