There are many reasons why this is a plan you will find irresistible, even
in the long term.
• This diet is not just about eating less, it’s about eating the right foods
for your liver. As you’re about to learn, the liver is involved in weight
loss, and maximizing and supporting liver function with the right
foods will allow you to lose weight safely and permanently.
• It is based on whole foods. The average American diet is filled with
high-calorie foods made with bad fats, sugar, and salt, all manufactured
to make us crave and overeat them. “Diet” foods often aren’t
much better. Many are filled with chemicals and aren’t as nutrientrich
as we think they are. The Inside Out Diet emphasizes the goodness
of nature. It will reacquaint your taste buds with delightful,
satisfying natural flavors, and pretty soon you will notice a remarkable
change—you will no longer crave addictive foods that aren’t
good for you and will intuitively reach for healthy foods.
• It’s a realistic long-term plan. I won’t give you a diet that lasts
several weeks or months and then say “see ya!” I won’t leave you with
a diet that keeps you on a strict leash 24/7—or else—for the rest of
your life. Life isn’t about boot camp. This diet is a way of life, allowing
you to eventually eat what you like, in moderation.
• It will work for your busy life. I made sure this was doable and would
fit in with hectic schedules. Although it initially requires you to
make changes, once you get into the flow, it’s quite simple.
• You won’t need to take ten billion diet pills a day. I will suggest certain
supplements, such as essential fatty acids, but they will be part
of a minimal core plan. Instead of relying on supplements, we will
take advantage of the healing properties of food. People with certain
health conditions, however, may require further support.
• The recipes are delicious and satisfying. The recipes in this book
were created by chef Sabra Ricci, a chef to the stars and a caterer
on the island of Maui. A graduate of the California Culinary Academy
in San Francisco, Sabra is renowned for her healthy, delectable
menus. She created these recipes to fit the guidelines of this diet,
and I have no doubt you’ll enjoy them.
