The Big Breakfast Diet: Eat Big Before 9 A.M. and Lose Big for Life

Product Details

Eat a huge breakfast, lose a lot of weight? It sounds counter-intuitive, but when a clinical professor of endocrinology and metabolic disease advocates it, maybe it's worth considering. And when that same clinical professor offers proof that overweight women lost nearly five times more weight on a breakfast cure diet than their counterparts did on a low-carb diet, it's time to pay attention.

Dr. Daniela Jakubowicz, a clinical professor at Virginia Commonwealth University and the Hospital de Clinicas Caracas in Venezuela, originally published her diet book in Venezuela and it became a South American bestseller, selling 300,000 copies. Now after continued research, Dr. Jakubowicz presents The Big Breakfast Diet, with its promise that you can have all the foods you crave, from pasta to bacon to ice cream, with just one catch—you have to eat them before 9:00 A.M. Based on the body's natural rhythms, eating a big, complete breakfast revs up your metabolism; helps burn more calories during the day and more fat at night; satisfies hunger all day long; boosts your energy; eliminates cravings for sweets; and reduces the risk of serious health conditions like type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

After explaining the science behind the diet, and how the body's hormones and metabolism process food differently depending on what time of day you eat, The Big Breakfast Diet centers around a full 28-day meal plan—breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks, plus recipes. The day begins with a big breakfast—a smoothie or shake, pancakes with berry syrup and ricotta cheese, Canadian bacon, a breakfast sweet—and ends with a moderate, delicious dinner.

Lunch = protein only - Sylvia Lawrence - New York, NY USA
This diet works. The trick is to eat only protein for lunch and a veggie salad with some oil and vinegar for dinner. If I eat any carbs for lunch, I get hungry in the afternoon to the point of being unable to resist food. I also drink decaf with a little big of milk or plain tea at night. I give it 4 stars because the information is not new. "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day." has been around forever.

Quick and Easy Vegan Comfort Food: 65 Everyday Meal Ideas for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner with Over 150 Great-tasting, Down-home Recipes

Product Details

A born food-lover, raised in California on “the best Mexican food in the country” and her father’s “traditional Southern soul food,” Alicia C. Simpson couldn’t imagine giving up her favorite dishes to become vegan. Animal-free food might be healthier, but could it match the tastes of home—like fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, or a bowl of chili? Three years after Alicia took the vegan plunge, Quick and Easy Vegan Comfort Food answers that question with a resounding “yes!”

Here is the essential cookbook for any of America’s more than 6 million vegans who miss the down-home tastes they remember (or want to try), or for vegetarians and even meat-eaters who want to add more plant-based foods to their diets, but don’t know where to start. Comfort-seeking cooks will find:

• Easy-to-prepare, animal-free versions of classics like Spicy Buffalo Bites, Ultimate Nachos, Baked Ziti and more
• 65 delicious combinations for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with flavors from around the world, like “Chinese Take-In” or “Tijuana Torpedo”
• Everything you need to know to start your vegan pantry, and why being vegan is easier, less expensive, and more delicious than you might think.

With spirit and style, Alicia shows just how easy—yes, and comforting—vegan food can be.

A-MAZING!!!!! OH, I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THIS BOOK! - Shanen Marquita Smith - Atlanta suburb, GA
Holy smackers this is a good book!!! Flavor-full and cruelty-free.

Where do I begin??? I started out with the Sweet Potato Waffle recipe because I have complete and absolute love for pancakes and waffles, but oh my god...the warm 'melt-in-your-mouth' goodness of the cinnamon, vanilla, brown sugar, and sweet potato was almost too much. But when I took the first bite, I just closed my eyes and smiled a deep, heartfelt smile of sheer satisfaction. Adding a small pat of Earth Balance vegan 'butter' just about took it over the top. I couldn't believe I made them. Fantastic.

Then I decided to try the Fool-Your-Friends Tacos. I figured "Meatless taco? Yeah right." So I began to prepare the recipe. The easiest taco recipe ever -- and QUICK! Less than 15 minutes, they were ready to eat. I never told my husband, the consummate carnivore, that the tacos contained no meat. He took one bite and his eyes rolled in delight. He hadn't even swallowed, but he couldn't stop talking about what he was chewing. He wolfed it down and then I decided to come clean. I revealed to him that he had just scarfed a 'vegan taco'. His expression sank at the deception. And, with a food-stained mustache, he conceded, "That was a darn good taco. Make me 2 more." Convinced I was on to something, I decided to prepare and sample one myself, and boy, let me tell you...Taco Bell just lost one of its most enthusiastic supporters. Forget Fool-Your-Friends Tacos. I call them Fool-Yourself Tacos because you'll never believe you ate a taco that good without having to 'run for the border'. She [the author] says you'll lick the plate. And after wiping the sour cream and taco sauce from my forehead, I can say that I surely did.
