The ingredients used in this cookbook are very specific. I have dissected all the macro and micro-nutrients to create recipes to keep our insulin levels low while keeping flavors high. For example, you will never see skim milk in my recipes for a variety of reasons, which you can read more on my chapter “Milk, Does it Really Do a ‘Body Good’” in my book Secrets to a Healthy Metabolism.

UNSWEETENED ALMOND MILK - It is extremely low in sugar and carbohydrates, and it taste great. It only has 40 calories per cup versus 90 calories for skim milk.

COCONUT MILK - It is low in sugar and is healthy for SO many reasons.

1. DIABETICS: Improves insulin secretion and utilization of blood glucose. Helps relieve symptoms and reduce health risks associated with diabetes.

2. INTESTINAL DISORDERS: Helps relieve symptoms associated with gallbladder disease. Relieves symptoms associated with Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and stomach ulcers. Improves digestion and bowel function. Relieves pain and irritation caused by hemorrhoids. Supports tissue healing and repair of the intestines. Improves digestion and absorption of other nutrients including vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. Reduces problems associated with malabsorption syndrome and cystic fibrosis.

3. ATHLETES: Provides ketones for a quick source energy. Boosts energy and endurance, enhancing physical and athletic performance. This also helps relieve symptoms that are associated with chronic fatigue syndrome.

4. IMMUNE SYSTEM: Kills viruses that cause influenza, herpes, measles, hepatitis C, SARS, AIDS, and other illnesses. It also kills bacteria that cause ulcers, throat infections, urinary tract infections, gum disease, cavities, pneumonia, gonorrhea, and other diseases.

5. Kills fungi and yeasts that cause thrush, candida, ringworm, athlete’s foot and diaper rash (infections).

6. Relieves stress on the pancreas and enzyme systems of the body. Reduces symptoms that are associated with pancreatitis.

7. OSTEOPOROSIS: Improves calcium and magnesium absorption and supports the development of strong bones and teeth.

8. HEART DISEASE: Reduces inflammation. It is heart healthy; improves cholesterol ratio reducing risk of heart disease. Protects arteries from injury that causes atherosclerosis and thus protects against heart disease.

9. AGING: Helps protect the body from harmful free radicals that promote premature aging and degenerative disease. Does not deplete the body’s antioxidant reserves like other oils do. Improves utilization of essential fatty acids and protects them from oxidation. Prevents wrinkles, sagging skin, and age spots.
