The Blood Sugar Solution Cookbook: More Than 175 Ultra-Tasty Recipes for Total Health and Weight Loss by Mark Hyman

4.0

Since completing Hyman's 10-day sugar detox over a month ago, at least 80% of my meals have been from this book. I love that I have a go-to cookbook I can trust to get meals that taste good and are balanced. There is a large variety in types of meals, styles and ingredients (most of which are easy to find at a standard grocery store). Recipes are simple and generally quick to prepare (the estimated cook time is helpful). I've tried a lot of the meals and so far only had two that were busts, in my opinion. Pro tip: the chocolate peanut butter cups are addictive and you will want to make them all the time because they're so quick and fairly healthy.

I like that the book has the design it does rather than being a glossy cookbook because I think it helps drive home that the recipes are medically beneficial. The downside is that because of the name and design, it's made me second guess whether I'd want to give this as a gift because it just doesn't seem...gift-y enough.
