Product Description

This follow up to The Sugar Solution offers more than 200 delicious recipes that stabilize blood sugar, which is the key to losing weight quickly, safely, and permanently

The latest medical discoveries make it clear: The real key to losing weight isn’t in calories, carbs, or exercise—it’s learning to control blood sugar. By focusing on the healthiest carbohydrates and fats, The Sugar Solution Cookbook enables readers to keep their blood sugar in check—so they can keep their metabolism up, overeating down, and quell their cravings for fattening foods. They’ll learn how to eat six meals a day while dropping a steady 2 pounds a week—and never regain the weight.

While some other popular diets are dangerously high in fat and deficient in fiber and other important nutrients, The Sugar Solution Cookbook draws on the latest research in the science of weight loss and features:

• a nutritionally balanced eating plan—created by a nutritionist and backed by Prevention, a name readers have learned to trust for safe, effective health information

• more than 200 mouthwatering, simple-to-prepare dishes, including such family favorites as All-American Pot Roast, Stir-Fried Orange Chicken and Broccoli, and Cajun-Spiced Oven Fries

• tips on how to substitute good fats and carbs in favorite recipes

And, since there are no forbidden foods in The Sugar Solution Cookbook, the dessert recipes include such delectable treats as Spiced Kahlua Custard, Peanut Butter Bundt Cake, and Dark Chocolate Pudding. Best of all, every splurge is guilt-free.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews 71 of 71 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of Great Meal Ideas, February 5, 2007 By  Kelly McCants (Frisco, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)       This book is not only a cookbook, but a meal plan and guide as well! For people like myself who desire to eat a well-rounded, nutritionally dense diet that is not overly calorie laden, this book is perfect. The meal guide that is presented in the beginning of the book is so easy to use. It suggests healthy breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks (3 on most days) that accomplish the goals I mentioned above, all while keeping your blood sugar steady throughout the day. The menus suggest a nice combination of recipes from the book, convenience products and whole foods. It is very easy to use in that you can exchange meals from one day to the next to tailor your own tastes. The recipes that I have tried have all been excellent! They are mostly very easy to prepare. The only ones I have not cared for have been the salad dressings. There is a tremendous variety in the types of foods used and suggested so that your taste buds will never be bored. The one thing I have found, however, is that the menus do not provide enough calories to keep me full through the day. They typically range from about 1400 to 1550 calories a day, which would ideally result in a pound per week weight loss since that is about a 500 calorie per day cut from the average woman's diet, and 3500 calories make a pound (500 * 7 days). Honestly, I needed more, though. I was starving before dinner every day. I finally started doubling up the afternoon snack and was much more satisfied, and that still amounted to enough of a calorie cut for me to still lose weight. A man using this meal plan would most likely want to add more calories to it. Mostly, however, I just love how healthy the eating plan is. No "diet" foods, just nutritionally dense foods to give you what your body needs to operate optimally. I do recommend this book to anyone who would like to eat healthy and just needs to be shown how, or anyone who doesn't have to time to plan a completely balanced menu everyday for themself. 38 of 38 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars good way to feed your family, February 19, 2007 By  CyndiGene (Chattanooga, TN United States) - See all my reviews I bought the Sugar Solution because it looked like a book that was more accessible for cooking for families while being on a low glycemic diet. I tried using Zone cookbooks, but they were too hard to follow when I had to triple the recipe. My family likes the dinners, and I don't feel like a chef,cooking two meals every night--one for me, and one the rest of the family...and now I don't feel like I'm cheating when I eat what everyone else is eating for dinner! 28 of 28 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Quick, tasty meals!, May 25, 2007 By  C. Smith (Chicago) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    I bought this book because I was looking for a cookbook that stressed nutrition. I purchased a few other cookbooks at the same time and this is by far my favorite. The book has a wide variety of delicious meals that have all been surprisingly quick and easy to prepare. Unlike many "health food" cook books, this book did not sacrifice taste to nutrition. Instead the recipies use nutritious ingredients in such a way that the flavors are enhanced and compliment each other. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to focus on conforming to a healthy diet but still wants to enjoy their food!
