National Indie Excellence Awards Winner in Cookbooks

Prevent chronic disease, reach your ideal weight, and feel better than ever with the ultimate cookbook and lifestyle guide companion to Why We Get Sick—from internationally renowned scientist Benjamin Bikman and fitness coach and recipe developer Diana Keuilian.

With his breakout book Why We Get Sick, Benjamin Bikman helped thousands of people to understand insulin resistance: what it is, why it happens, and how it affects nearly every system in our bodies.

Now, in this companion guide featuring 70 low-carb and keto-friendly recipes, Bikman has teamed up with the fitness expert and recipe developer Diana Keuilian to help the nearly 9 in 10 American adults affected with insulin resistance. Together, they translate the latest research into actionable, easy-to-follow steps. You can make dramatic improvements in your insulin sensitivity, resist chronic illness, attain a healthy weight, and improve your energy.

In part one, learn how to assess your health with regards to insulin resistance and understand the science. In part two, discover a three-pronged approach to reversing insulin resistance or maintaining insulin sensitivity. And in part three, get the tools to put the plan into action, with exercise, meal plans for intermittent fasting, and healthful recipes that the whole family will love, including:

  • BBQ Pulled Pork Sliders
  • Mediterranean Turkey Bowls
  • Easy Chicken Enchilada Casserole
  • Crispy Sweet Mongolian Beef
  • Adobo Braised Mushroom Tacos
  • Sizzling Crab Cakes
  • White Garlic Lasagna with Tofu

Illustrated with stunning full-colour photography and chock-full of knowledge and encouragement, How Not to Get Sick is an essential resource for healthy living.
