The Blood Sugar Solution 10-Day Detox Diet Cookbook: More than 150 Recipes to Help You Lose Weight and Stay Healthy for Life

After a couple of years of feeling urgh, loads of non- specific symptoms, meds being swapped about, and feeling every day like I was trudging through treacle, I heard an interview with Mark Hyman and thought what have I got to lose?I bought the book. I read the book. I procrastinated on the book!The problem, for me at least, is the sheer amount of supplements supposedly needed and the amount of baseline tests.I'm veggie and the book isn't - my protein option is basically tofu which I don't particularly like.Eventually, I committed to the 10 days of tofu. I did not buy the fibre pills that need to be imported if you're in the UK. I supplemented with basic easy to find supplements - B12 spray with chromium and green tea extract, vit D and a multivitimin with minerals. I detoxed my kitchen to remove as many temptations as possible and dove in - answered the questionnaire and took my weight and basic measurement ( waist and hip sizes)After 10 days...I felt great, more energy, so many aches and pains had reduced, no headache or migraine, sleeping better. There was no cravings, no hunger. Shockingly, I started to recognise when I was hungry and when I was sated. It gave me control! Yes I lost weight, almost a stone! I chose to continue the plan for another 90 days.75 days later...So far I have had no migraine, no aches and pains, more energy, better sleep pattern, mood stabilised. I've lost 4st 2lb, 5 inches off my waist and 6.5 inches off my hips. My life has been changed.The hardest part is planning and organising around cooking from fresh. No convenience. It gets easier.4stars because it is very US focused with the supplements and testing regime.

The best book on Diabetes that I have ever read. I have lost a stone after 5 repetitions. Note to self - do more exercise and benefit even more. And I wasn't hungry due to snacks recommended by Dr. Hyman.

Eating the best foods for weight loss is great but you need the receipes to go with the food, hence the book . Great receipes, losing weight. A winner.

This book arrived promptly however more importantly as a pre-used book it arrived as described in excellent condition & as new.

Very disappointed lots of fish and chicken recipes, thought it would be more creative!! Avoid if veggie and note that it’s quite difficult and expensive to source healthy fish and chicken.
