Metabolism Miracle RecipesMiracle (mir-a-cle): an outstanding or unusual event or accomplishment. Anyone who is bold enough to use the word miracle in a book title had better have darn good evidence to back it up. Thats what I told myself as I thought about a title for the lifestyle plan that I knew could change the lives of people who kept trying and failing at losing weight. You may find the title of this cookbook a bit over the top. I knowyouve heard too many promises from too many experts who claim theyve found the elusive key to weight loss. You want to believe them, so you follow their program and prepare the recommended recipes, but find yourself regaining weight in a yo-yo cycle that brings with it fatigue, irritability, and frustration. So why should this book be any different? Why should you believe in the promise of The Metabolism Miracle and Metabolism Miracle Cookbook? This cookbook contains specially designed recipes that fit perfectly into the Metabolism Miracle program and meet the nutritional needs of the millions of people with metabolic syndrome (what I call Metabolism B).

Each recipe is formulated to help you prepare great-tasting dishes that will maximize health and help keep your weight under control. The promise that comes with these recipes is one that is based on your unique physiology and the way your body responds to foods. With the help of The Metabolism Miracle Cookbook, you will be eating in a way that works with your metabolism, not against it. The title of this cookbook and my first book, The Metabolism Miracle, starts with my own story. Its a story I saw mirrored in patient after patient as I worked as a medical nutrition specialist. About twenty-five years ago, at the beginning of my career, something changed within my body.

It started with weight gain (and a roll around my middle) and as time progressed there was a definite change in my health and energy level. Because I was a registered dietitian, diabetes educator, and weight-loss specialist following the traditional medically recommended diet, this slow but steady increase in my weight, blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood sugar made no sense. I felt like a stranger in my own body. I had no energy, didnt look like myself, didnt feel like myself, and was prescribed medications for medical conditions I should not have had based on my seemingly healthy lifestyle. Ironically, this same pattern was surfacing in nearly half the patients I saw for weight loss. Somewhere along the line, our metabolism appeared to have switched gears.

I came to realize that we shared symptoms: an expanding waistline, fatigue, cravings, depression, anxiety, brain fog, decreased libido... and none of us could lose weight and keep it off on traditional diets! After years of trial and error, improvement, and refinement, I was able to design a lifestyle program that enabled those of us with this alternative metabolism to lose weight, keep it off, and reduce the medications we took for weight-related health problems. We could finally look great, feel great, and have a new lease on our life. More than anyone, I know the potential of this program, which is written specifically for people whose metabolism responds differently than that of the average persons. I have witnessed its overwhelmingly positive outcomes in patient after patient. And I watched it work for me.

Patients encouraged me to put the plan into book form. So I went back to them for input, asking them to choose a word that they felt most clearly described this program. The number one word they chose, all independent of each other, was miracle. I was sold. If the very people who lived and loved this way of life felt it was a miracle in their lives, then Metabolism Miracle was the right name. And so, in the spring of 2009, The Metabolism Miracle a comprehensive weight-loss plan for people with Metabolism Bwas released.

By summer, the book became a New York Times best seller. By autumn of 2009, it had become an international sensation. This program has tens of thousands of devoted followers for one reasonit is the first and only scientifically based program written specifically for more than 50 percent of overweight peoplepeople who have Metabolism B. Without this program, these people would never be able to lose weight, keep it off, and improve their cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar while increasing energy. What looked like just another diet fad was a reality. After The Metabolism Miracle was released, readers clamored for recipes that would match the three steps of the lifestyle.

Along the same principles of the program, the cookbook had to work for busy schedules and everyday life challenges. In this cookbook, Ive set out to create recipes that are quick, easy, and deliciousrecipes that can work
