The 14-Day Plan to Flatten Your Belly, Crush Cravings, and Help Keep You Lean for Life
November 21, 2016
Nutrition and fitness expert Zinczenko (Zero Belly Smoothies) and Perrine compare the prevalence of sugar in the American diet to a “virulent virus” in this passionate, anti-added-sugar manifesto. According to Zinczenko, the natural sugar found in healthy diets isn’t problematic, but the hidden, added sugar lurking in such foods as salad dressings, sauces, and peanut butter contributes to diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. Though Zinczenko notes that new food labels mandated by the FDA and set for 2018 will require a separate listing for added sugars, as of now buyers must do their own sleuthing. This book suggests a variety of ways to identify and avoid hidden sugars, and includes ideas and recipes for “zero sugar” breakfasts, lunches, snacks, and dinners, as well as info on foods to eat on the go and in restaurants. Zinczenko’s plan emphasizes a two-pronged approach: decreasing added sugar and increasing fiber. This plan is informative and entertaining (e.g., a chart converts common meals to their equivalent in donuts; “an open letter from your pancreas”) and will help readers rein in cravings and become savvy monitors of added sugar consumption.

ABC News health and wellness correspondent Zinczenko (Zero Belly Diet; "Eat This, Not That" series) now turns his focus to eliminating the added sugar in America's diet and replacing it with fiber and other healthier choices to achieve stable blood sugar levels. The author creates a user-friendly guide with food lists, recipes for all meals of the day, a seven-day meal plan, a three-day detox plan, and sample workout plans, providing a wealth of helpful information and tools for those wishing to limit added sugars in their diet. An aisle-by-aisle shopping planner that names brands makes finding no-sugar-added foods in all categories easy and fast. The focus on reducing sugar has gained significant notice as more reports emerge spotlighting its negative effects. VERDICT This practical, easy-to-digest book will be popular with health-conscious readers.--Crystal Renfro, Kennesaw State Univ., Marietta, GA
