The Blood Sugar Solution 10-Day Detox Diet Cookbook: More than 150 Recipes to Help You Lose Weight and Stay Healthy for Life (The Dr. Mark Hyman Library, 4)

I'm anxious to start trying some of the delicious recipes. I've not been much of a cook during my 35 years of marriage (thankfully I have a husband who loves to cook), but I started the 10 Day Detox diet on January 1 and started cooking daily. It does take some time to think about how to cook a wholesome, nutritious meal rather than reach for something easy, quick and most likely full of unhealthy ingredients. Since January 1 I've lost 11 pounds. That's not a lot of weight, but I have hypothyroidism and my doctor said it's actually wonderful weight loss for my body chemistry. I've also dropped about 10 points in blood pressure, and I've seen HUGE improvement in eczema. So I bought the cookbook for further inspiration to continue my change in eating habits- and the book is indeed inspirational. As I said, it takes an investment in time, an investment in quality ingredients, and an investment in supplements. (By the way, I don't buy my supplements from Dr. Hyman, but I certainly respect his opinions and follow his suggestions. He said plainly in his book that you're welcomed to purchase these supplements anywhere). So I don't spend money at the spa - I spend it at the grocery store buying the best quality food I can afford because I'm able and I'm willing to make the investment in myself. Thanks Dr. Hyman for writing this book and encouraging us to be as healthy as we can be. It's a wonder what you're body can do to fix ailments if you it nourish properly!

This book is life-altering. I was skeptical at first but my good friend had completed the detox and said she lost a lot of weight. Once I got into it, not only did I eat a lot of delicious food, but I lost 5 pounds in ten days and my chronic nagging health conditions all seemed to improve: less achiness in my joints, better skin consistency, clearer sinuses, even my vision slightly improved. In fact, the plan was so easy and the food so good, that I stayed on the diet and after 3 weeks had lost 13 pounds. I am 57 years old, 5'7" and holding steady at 132 pounds. I look good in my clothes again. I eat all that I want but on Dr. Hyman's recommendation, I have eliminated gluten -- most likely permanently, and I'm trying to have just an occasional piece of cheese now and then. Thanks to all the supplements he recommends, especially the fiber PGX, I'm never hungry. No more cravings, ever! I haven't had blood work taken since I began this diet four months ago but will be very curious to see the pathology at my next physical. Thank you Dr. Hyman!

I like the book and love the recipes. I have especially enjoyed the expanded breakfast options. My husband and I are both on the detox and like trading off the breakfasts between the shakes and egg recipes. I do agree that the shopping and prep is time consuming but I was glad we didn't let that intimidate us. Now that we are midway through another 10 days, I feel like we have it down. We went through the book and made a menu plan for the week. We shop on Saturday and on Sunday, I prep everything that I can for the week. We make ahead any slaws or sauces that would hold. In addition, I roast several pieces of boneless skinless chicken or turkey breast. I slice them up and put them in bags that are ready to go for lunches for the week. We also will have it on hand in case something unplanned occurs. If so, we just reheat them and steam some veggies for a quick dinner. We found our appetites reduced and my blood sugar was normal for the first time in a long time. Finally, I was disappointed that there was a picture of chia pudding on the cover but was unable to find a recipe for it in the book. Same with the third photo down. It appears to be some sort of ice cream and we did not see it in the book either. The most crticial thing that I find confusing is, in the 10 day diet detox book, Dr. Hyman was very specific about making sure you used the recipe on the day that he had listed. While I know to only eat red meat once in every 10 day cycle, it does not give any guidelines about what recipes to eat each day. I felt this was confusing and a change of message from the book to the cookbook. I was unable to find any guidelines of the change so we are going to try the mix and match this week and see how it goes. I just wish he had spoken to this change. I lost 13 lbs during the first 10 days and I am worried that mixing and matching might impact future results. Otherwise, the recipes so far have been wonderful.

I bought the 10-Day Detox book and then ordered this cookbook after we decided to just stay on the diet. I have suffered from joint pain, bloating, swelling and just plain feeling like crap for several years now. I've been through the Western medicine ringer, if you will. Fed up, I started looking into Ayurveda and stumbled upon Dr. Hyman's newsletter and then decided to do the 10-Day Detox Diet. I made everyone in the house follow it since I figured I'm the household cook and it would make my life easier if everyone was on it together. For the first time in 7 years I lost weight (I've done several cleanses and would only lose 3-4 lbs and those pounds that came right back). We have been on the detox diet for nearly 5 weeks now and I've lost 15 lbs and my husband has lost 18 lbs. But the most important thing is that by the 6th day I realized my joint pain was almost entirely gone (I had been living a life of pain 24/7). My "lupus" symptoms all but disappeared making me question the diagnosis altogether. This diet has been a game-changer for me. I suspected I had a gluten sensitivity, but it turned out to be far worse than I thought and my husband has a severe dairy intolerance, both of these were identifiable as a result of the 10-day detox and then reintroducing food items one at a time. When I introduced a small amount of gluten back into my diet I became quite ill and my knees and hands began to hurt almost instantly. This diet is the best medicine I've ever taken and we have decided to make this our new "life diet." I am a total foodie and a very creative cook so I've taken some liberties with the recipes that have taken them to an all new level. I post the meals on our FB page and my friends and family keep asking for the recipes. While it is challenging to maintain the diet, especially as two professional people who have demanding jobs, once you figure out what you can and can't have and learn the new recipes it gets easier. Tip: Make big dinners so you have leftovers for lunch the next day, it will save a ton of time! I highly recommend this diet to anyone, it just makes you feel better overall. If you are struggling with health issues I strongly encourage you to give it a try, it has changed our lives.

you cannot follow this diet for a long time maybe one or 2 weeks. if you exercise regularly or do marathons or very active your muscles need the grains like whole wheat, pasta, rice for your muscles and energy. when I hired a trainer to help me with some muscle development she wanted to make sure I was eating the whole grain bread and pasta and brown rice. B/c she was saying this provides energy and the muscles do need this product. Higher the fiber content slower the release of sugar etc. The problem taking advice from doctors on dietary needs is they are not nutritionist and or dietitians. They are not the best guide to eating properly. his book is not all that different from Atkins. I have always eaten healthy lots of vegitbales and fruit with a smaller amount of meet, and lots of beans and lentils. I am in my mid fifties and thus in good health. I now make sure I limit my refined sugar in take to a very small mount. only on the weekend I may indulge in a deseart I like again in a limited fashion. I travel around the world and go to places where they eat bread, or lots of rice, or pasta or all. They are not fat and better health then us. The difference is outside the US. People walk more and they don't have large meals. they have meals that are the amount they should be earing to satisfy their hunger. I only liked some of the receipes in this book but wont be using it as a dies guide.

I heard about Dr. Hyman when he was a guest speaker on the Megyn Kelly podcast. He was very information and his talk peaked my interest. I have been trying to lose weight for some time now, but I've not been successful. Since the start of the year I began weight/ strength lifting using another book from Michael Matthews (recommend). I have struggled with food and watching what I consume. I read Dr. Hyman's book and tried the 10 day diet. I lost weight and I feel better and it's easy to do. I'm more aware of the groceries I purchase for me and my family. I needed this to help me kick my sugar addiction. I highly recommend if you need a reset. I was tired of going to my PCP to only try to shove pills down my throat. Getting educated about healthy eating is a must if you're tired of being sick and tired.

Listen to this man -- he knows what he is talking about. I have been on the diet for 5 full weeks now and saw my sugars drop from 230 to 123, have lost 15 pounds, and have journaled an entire page of positive changes. I have been using both the cookbook and the recipes in the 10-day detox diet book. Honestly, I don't miss the gluten, dairy, and grain products one bit. And I don't believe I will resume eating them when I get to my weight and glucose level goals. I'm hopeful that I will be able to get off or significantly reduce my medications, and am looking forward to my next doctor's visit! Thank you Mark Hyman! I have recommended your program to other folks -- some of whom want to embrace a healthier way of eating and others who are struggling to bring their glucose readings under control. There is life after diabetes.

I don't often get excited over"Diet" books but this plan is SO EASY and do-able that it has changed my life! The first 3 days were the hardest, but then it was so satisfying to see the weight drop of and to feel SO HEALTHY, finally giving the body what it needs and getting rid of SUGAR!!! I have told 4 friends about it and they also have lost weight and kept it off too!! I wanted to lose 12 lbs., which I did, and my friends have lost up to 30 lbs.! I feel and AM healthier and I never have to worry about how my clothes will fit. :) This book just is the perfect compliment to the 10 DAY DETOX DIET by providing great recipes for your new lifestyle.

No es el recetario que esperaba las recetas son colplicadas de hacer

Das Buch ist schön gestaltet. Die Rezepte sind allerdings aufwendig und man braucht sehr aufwändige und die Deutschland schwer erhältliche Zutaten. Die Diät selbst funktioniert bestimmt. Es reicht dazu allerdings, sich das ,Blood Sugar Solution‘ Buch zu kaufen.

Big fan of Dr Hyman. The 10 days detox changed our way to eat. I would say changed our life, lost the excess wait following his recipes in his previous book without starving and enjoying delish dishes. This book is a must if you care for your health, but fed up with all the useless, dangerous diets. Once you understand his concept and stuck up your kitchen with the right ingredients he suggests, the recipes are easy to follow and delicious. Get your health back, one dish at the time !

This book arrived promptly however more importantly as a pre-used book it arrived as described in excellent condition & as new.

Jammed full of recipes that aren't boring sounding. Looking forward to trying these!!
