Wouldn’t it be wonderful to live in a world where you could eat what you want without gaining weight? What if you could indulge and eat fried chicken, pizza, ice cream, cake, cookies, anything you crave and not have to suffer negative recourses? What if I told you, it’s ingredients that make us sick and obese, not the food.

It’s been a year since I turned myself into a guinea pig and delved into the food world. What I found not only disturbed me but drove me to dig deeper into the billion-dollar industry.

At my heaviest, I was 285 lbs. I suffered from IBS, gluten intolerance, nightshade allergies, severe arthritis requiring steroid injections and was on a CPAP aka alien machine. I had tried all of the fad diets. Weight Watchers, Paleo, Keto, Atkins, now called the meat diet, Mediterranean and more. I know all about counting calories, counting carbs, portion sizes, fasting, you name it.

Now, at 54, I’m healthier and thinner than I’ve ever been in my adult years. I’ve gone from a size 18/20 to a 12/14. I no longer suffer from ANY illnesses and no longer hooked up to a machine to breathe at night. I don’t count calories, carbs or pay attention to portion sizes, I only listen to my body. I don’t have to make a special meal for me, while creating yummy meals for my family. We eat together; one meal that we all want and choose.

In this book, I will share with you the ingredients to avoid to lose weight and heal your body. I’ll also share some of my favorite recipes.
