Do not judge this book by the cover, er, the title. Those reading this who are acquainted with me, understand this is not about dropping a bunch of weight in 5 days; it’s about getting in, and staying in “good blood sugar” in 5 days or less. If you’re going “huh?” to the words “level blood sugar” then you should read this book. It isn’t just about guiding you to successful weight loss and maintenance - it’s about health and well being, feeling energetic, and appetite satisfaction and control.

This book precedes The Zone Diet, South Beach Diet, and so many others. Adele Puhn is truly the pioneer (to me) in this category. It’s easy to follow, flexible, (and much like myself), encourages progress – not perfection. It’s not a quick or temporary fix; it is a lifestyle program. Deprivation is not on the menu. I suggest many alternatives to her meal plans/menus with quantity variations for sure, and other food additions not in this book (case by case to my clients) making it that much easier (and convenient) to follow long term for health, weight loss, weight maintenance, well being, and satisfying lifestyle eating.

The copy you see above is the “new” edition; however the original “5 day miracle diet” (without the ‘new’ in title) is perfectly fine.  I suggest using Amazon – search ‘paperback used’ and you can get it to your door for under 5 bucks!  ”In Defense of Food” (a book I recommended a couple blogs back) and the  ”5 Day Miracle Diet” book, will open your eyes (and life) to well being, prevention of obesity & diabetes and so much more, not to mention lowering your own health care costs by eating well!

Right down the hatch!!!

Worth a repeat here at my blog is how much water to drink. You’ve all heard the 8×8 rule.  Drink 8 glasses of water, at least 8 ounces each. There is no scientific study to support this, and the truth is, it really depends on your lifestyle. It depends on your nutrition, where you live (climate) your health, your exercise output, what other beverages or medications you take, and so on. On average, humans are over 60% water, and this water provides moisture and carries nutrients, etc. I won’t bore you with details; you can google that. Simply put, if you feel thirsty, drink. A few glasses a day are sufficient for most of you. For those focused on weight loss (or not) remember this: Thirst will often feel like, and rear it’s ugly head as hunger, when it’s really thirst; your body needing water. Just have a glass of water to kill what you think are hunger pangs.

As most of you know, I’m usually wearing my Fit Flops. Again, I get nothing for endorsing these, I just have first-hand experience of their benefit. If you regularly wear ‘traditional’ thin and flat flip flops, and also have any foot, knee or back issues, (in which case you probably shouldn’t wear those flips) a better alternative is wearing Fit Flops.

The first time I put them on it felt like walking on clouds. They are light and supportive and provide cushion from impact when walking or standing…two things I do A LOT of.

I do NOT buy into any claims about “fitness” related to these shoes regarding improved leg strength/tone. I DO buy into the support and comfort they offer, and suggest you bag your flip flops, for a pair of Fit Flops.

Just google it for many on line stores and a variety of styles for women and men, or to find where they are sold locally to try a pair first. I own a couple different styles, so feel free to email me since I favor certain things about certain styles.

Warm regards,
