P RAISE FOR THE FIRST EDITION OF

Wellbeing for Life

Until recently it has been a common expectation that most weight loss diets are ultimately doomed to fail. Low calorie/kilojoule diets increase cravings and upset hormone levels, mono diets are nutritionally unbalanced, high protein diets put strain on the kidneys and are lacking in fiber, the high complex carbohydrate approach didn’t take into account the glycemic response. Even when weight loss does occur, the rebound weight gain seems to be just around the corner.

Now this has all changed. Simply stated, the key to successful weight loss is the control of insulin levels. This can be accomplished either by loading the diet with high quality protein and healthy fats or by choosing high nutrient dense carbohydrate foods which have a low glycemic response. Even a balanced approach combining protein, fats and carbohydrates is successful as long as the food combination causes a slow rise in blood sugar and associated low insulin response.

In this book Miriam has taken the guesswork out of choosing the correct weight loss food by supplying sample menu plans and delicious recipes which ensure that your fat stores are the first to go when you slim for life.

Introduction
This is a ‘how to’ recipe book. It is about you looking better, living longer and having more fun by eating yummy food which balances your metabolism, slows ageing and gives you both the energy and edge on life.
There is much conflicting information and advice on what constitutes a healthy diet. Nutritionists generally agree that what you eat, drink and breathe is your body’s fuel, but this is where agreement ends and there is disagreement and consternation regarding the connection between our fuel, our waistline and our wellbeing.

Traditional advice aimed at improving wellbeing through weight loss recommends various methods of restricting fuel intake and increasing exercise. These recommendations appear to be based on the concept that the human body is as straightforward as a car and by simply consuming smaller amounts of fuel (irrespective of type) and driving around a bit (doing exercise) your body will turn into a smaller car — hopefully a sports car.
The concepts which form the foundation of my books are based on my clinical research and experiences, as well as the work of Dr Joseph Mercola, Professor Walter Willett, Dr George Schauf, Dr Robert Buist and Dr Joel Fuhrman among others. Interestingly, they all agree, for various reasons, that there is no direct link between our weight control and the portions, calories or quantity of fat we consume. Rather, they all connect our wellbeing and girth to the type of food we consume, not the quantity, and its effect on our blood sugar. This is the only responsible approach, as your blood sugar balance, weight and wellbeing are directly connected. This balance not only affects your rate of ageing, and what you look like but also contributes to how you sleep and feel.
Having suffered a diet induced eating disorder for much of my life, I give you my word that this book is rich in information that is personally researched. I am a self confessed kitchen klutz who has real trouble cutting straight with a knife, so be confident that the recipes in this book are quick, easy and tasty. They have been put together so you and your family can look better, live longer and have more fun.

Neolithic Nutrition
When we consider the original diet of our ancestors as seen by archaeological investigation of ancient human waste, it reflects negligible glycemic content. These investigators found that the diet of our ancestors contained significant amounts of fat, protein and very little carbohydrate. Fruits and berries were seldom eaten as they were only available seasonally.
Then, during the Neolithic period (around 10,000 years ago) humans began to cultivate wild grains. In Egypt, wheat and lentils were planted, while further North, the Celts and Saxons grew oats, millet, rye and buckwheat. All of these grains have a minimal effect on blood sugar when consumed in their original form, as unrefined whole grains. This shows us that before the Neolithic period, our blood sugar balancing and regulating hormone — insulin — was not commonly used for blood sugar management, as virtually all foods consumed at that time did not rely on its action.
As our ancestors seldom used insulin in metabolizing their fuel, insulin’s original role was directly connected to survival. Its role was to release energy so that the alarm reaction — also known as ‘fight or flight’ — could be activated. This alarm reaction was, and still is, triggered by danger and our survival instincts. In the 21st century, this reaction is not launched by a sabre toothed tiger but by various factors including stress and stimulant consumption (including coffee).
When triggered, this alarm reaction automatically stimulates a hormonal cascade (including adrenaline and insulin) which releases a burst of energy from short term storage. This energy is mobilized for immediate high level mental and physical activity to swiftly design and implement a survival strategy in order to get out of harm’s way and successfully overcome danger. This energy burst is like the energy output of a rocket, which has seen people escape danger, sometimes by performing superhuman feats.
Interestingly, the alarm res
