Easy to follow!
Because of all the recent information I have come across on how bad sugar is for all of us, I wanted to take a more in-depth look at this subject. Blast the Sugar Out offers a very comprehensive look at the subject. The author Ian K. Smith, MD, explains where the various kinds of sugar come from, and offers a five week program with weekly changes to replace some of our bad habits with good ones.
I feel that the diet is easy to implement, and I like that it doesn’t completely eliminate carbs as so many do these days. It actually includes sandwiches, wraps, crackers, bagels and potatoes. I tried one of the zero no-carb diets a few years ago, and let me tell you, I found it excruciatingly difficult to completely eliminate carbs! The recipes in the book range from breakfast pizzas to salads and shepherds pie. The author also provides 100 snack ideas. Since snacking has become my downfall, I appreciate that he added ideas to help me in that department.
I highly recommend this book. The author says this is a good plan if your diabetic or just want to get healthier. I received an ebook for review; however, I prefer this type of book in hardcover form, and I will be purchasing a copy.
