Join Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Zonya Foco for this 4-part series that takes a deep dive into everything it takes to manage your blood sugar – DELICIOUSLY.  This program, which is half education and half inspiration, will address the evidence-based principles about what absolutely works in the short-term and LONG-TERM, helping you successfully trim down and improve insulin sensitivity so your blood sugar levels normalize and stay that way.  Even if you’ve never been told you have diabetes (but prefer to nip this possibility in the bud), this session will absolutely improve your weight, energy, and health goals.  All while YOU live life deliciously!

This supportive series will answer your biggest questions, like:

  • Are all sweet treats really taboo?
  • How much, if any, bread, pizza and pasta can I have without spiking my blood sugar?
  • Do I have to count carbohydrates?

Just imagine…if everything you ate from breakfast to lunch to snacks and dinner, was scrumptiously satisfying and smartly balanced, how much more controlled would your blood sugar be? Yes, we’ll uncover:

  • What are healthful swap-outs for family favorites like cookies, pie, fried chicken, mashed potatoes and good ole soul food?
  • How can I eat out while keeping my blood sugar in good control?
  • What’s a simplified, flavor-amped meal plan strategy that I can apply for life?

FAQs with Zonya

Yes, and for the following reasons: You will gain delicious ways to bump up your nutrient intake, down your quick-acting carbs, improve your insulin sensitivity, more easily control blood sugars and improve your lipid profile, while reducing your risk of complications. All while eating the most delicious food of your life!

That said, this course will focus on prediabetes and type 2, and will teach an “approximating” carb counting style (even though ALL recipes do provide the carbohydrate content, for you and anyone needing to count carbs closely). As long as you know your medication and the amount of carbs you need at each meal, then YES. This course will be fantastic for you!

Absolutely! In fact, for those who have weight to lose, Step 1 for improving your insulin sensitivity is to lose that weight. So you can rest assured that this series is packed with waist-whittling tips and nutritious recipes that support weight loss. If weight control is your only goal, this series will deliver the very information, challenge and support you need!

Yes! Every recipe featured is either naturally gluten-free (GF), or the GF ingredient substitution is provided. Over 700 of the recipes at EatRealAmerica.com are labeled and searchable as “Gluten Free.”

YES! Every recipe is new and unlike what’s been featured before. If you liked my past programs and are looking for more, this is it!

Yes! Most of the recipes featured in this series are found on the site, and not in the cookbook. We therefore include membership to the site as part of this series.

Yes! The cookbook is an awesome addition! For anyone who doesn’t already have it, I highly suggest it… though you don’t have to, because every recipe in the cookbook is also at EatRealAmerica.com. That said, the recipes in the cookbook are 100 of the most prized recipes from the site, organized into a 4-week meal plan challenge. Plus, shopping lists and all the added tips included throughout the book make it a must-have. I also suggest the REAL Food Daily Defender Checklist and Shopping List Notepads… all great tools that make healthy eating so much EASIER!

Actually, BOTH! The focus is lots of delicious nutrient-rich plants, including high-fiber, resistant starch that is “slow carbs”. Yes, the diet is significantly “lower carb” than the traditional American Diet, but includes the right carbs in the right amounts, and does NOT eliminate entire groups of food. Many delicious eye-opening meatless meals will be featured, but so will the inclusion of meats in wise portions, so no one feels deprived!
