FOREWORD by Monique Wright
If you told me a year ago, I would be asked to write a foreword for a diet and nutrition book, I would have spat out my wine and chocolate, so hilarious would the suggestion have been!
But such is the life-changing effect of Sarah Di Lorenzo. I dont quite know how she does it, but she has some sort of superpower! I cant overstate how amazing her guidance is, and Im conscious not to churn your stomach with how affected this might sound but you WILL achieve health goals you never thought possible.
I want you to know that with Sarahs help, you WILL reach your goal weight. But more than that you WILL keep it off. Plus, your mind WILL be clear, and you WILL have energy in abundance. Put simply, you WILL feel amazing. WILL of course being the operative word here. Because where you might have struggled with willpower before, somehow it becomes your friend.
You might have lots of fears embarking on this and letting go of old habits which you actually know are not serving you. One of them might be that you love your food and think you will be denied enjoying it. Well, youre in good company. Because I love food, too. But more importantly and this came as a surprise to me Sarah also loves food. She is crazy about it!
My co-host Matt Doran and I embarked on Sarahs program together. Now, he is a lover of tofu (well, almost). This is from the king of junk food! Together, we have talked about how all of a sudden we could properly taste foods we never gave any consideration or credit. Sarah loves flavour and her recipes are nothing short of world-class.
Something else we learned is not to eat mindlessly. That was almost the key to the whole thing. Sarah makes you aware of what you are eating and how much. You still enjoy your treats or things you love which might not be good for you, but youre mindful of it and can counteract it in other ways.
Everything Sarah does is backed up with meticulous research. You can trust what she is saying is best for you. Some of her research still goes over my head, but along the way I managed to understand elements of nutrition and weight loss like I never have before. It has taken me until middle age for it to finally seep in.
It all sounds too good to be true, right? Perhaps youre remembering all the other times you have tried a diet or a program of some sort. While it might have worked for a while, nothing lasted long. Well, that ends now.
When you reach your goal weight, its time for maintenance, which Sarah will also guide you through. She teaches you how to move to a new normal, where you can eat your favourite foods, but how to balance it. There were moments I found it hard and challenging and it still is sometimes. But nothing is as hard as feeling out of control and sluggish, and your body and you deserve better.
Sarah also teaches you that if you fall off the program, get straight back on. Not tomorrow or Monday. Straight away! You ate it. Move on. Get back on immediately and feel in control of it again.
As a single mum of three divine daughters, Sarah knows what being time-poor is all about. She is never going to suggest you pop off to pickle your own bamboo or attend lengthy, expensive gym classes. Her program is simple to follow and her recipes are easy and quick. And as I mentioned before, they are delicious and good for you!
I make Sarahs recipes every day. My kids love them, and they are foolproof. I am a sucker for anything sweet and she even has a huge array of easy tips to satiate that need as well.
Like all good recipes, there is a secret ingredient its the way SARAH CARES. She genuinely wants people to succeed and feel great. And she puts her heart and soul into her programs, which get results. There is something incredibly special about another person truly believing you can do something. And you know what YOU CAN DO THIS!
