I am intrigued and already experiencing great success in the first week of the program, so I wanted to pass this on to our readers. Ms. Pomroyis a celebrity nutritionist and wellness consultant, and her books have been “Instant #1 New York Times Bestsellers,” so she has great credibility. More importantly, her program makes sense.
We know we love Italian food. We know we love to use garlic when cooking. It’s found in kitchens all over the world. We know that vampires hate it. But do we know how wonderful it is for diabetics?
If we were to list one major failing of diabetics in their self-care, it would probably be lack of exercise. We don’t like it, so we put it off and then we just neglect it. All the cute and labor-saving gadgets on the market have caused us to engineer inactivity into our lives.

New Israeli research indicates that a high-energy breakfast promotes weight loss, improves diabetic symptoms, and decreases the need for insulin. Academic researchers from Tel Aviv University presented the study at ENDO 2018, the 100th annual meeting of the Endocrine Society in Chicago. Their research shows that a diet that includes three meals a day—a big breakfast, average-sized lunch, and small dinner—had many rapid and positive effects in obese, insulin-treated type 2 diabetics. Positive results included more effective weight loss, less hunger, and better diabetes control with less insulin. “The hour of the day—when you eat and how frequently you eat—is more important than what you eat and how many calories you eat,” said lead study author Daniela Jakubowicz, M.D. “Our body metabolism changes throughout the…
Refined carbs produce brain fog, memory lapses, dementia, and are a leading cause of Alzheimer’s. Is sugar putting you at risk?
If you’re one of those people who just can’t seem to lose weight (and many of us are!), it may be because you’re genetically addicted to fatty, sugary foods.
