Introduction

A Try-It Diet is just that — a diet that you can try out for two weeks to see if it is a good fit for you. Keep in mind that not every diet is right for every person; please consult with your doctor before making radical changes to your diet.

Sugar plays an integral part in the human body’s functioning, but eating too much of it can result in major health problems. Complex starches, known as carbohydrates, are essential to producing energy, maintaining internal organs, facilitating brain function, and aiding overall health. The goal of this diet is to help you use naturally occurring sugars while avoiding artificially processed sugars. You can live happily and healthily on a diet of natural sugars.

The body converts sugars into energy to help the body function; excess sugar is converted into fat to be stored and used later. Sugars are naturally found in fruit, vegetables, and starchy foods such as unprocessed rice, potatoes, whole grains, and legumes. The recipes in this book take advantage of natural sugars and avoid refined sugar.

Complex carbohydrates are the friendly sugars. They are found naturally in unprocessed foods and have long, complex strands of molecules. The digestive system needs more time to process complex sugars than simple sugars, so the release of complex sugars into the body is spread out over a longer period of time.

Buy fresh foods at your grocery store or market. When it comes to fruit and vegetables, eat raw food as much as possible. Fresh fruits and vegetables will provide the carbs and complex sugars you need for energy and good health. They will leave you feeling full so you won’t be tempted by empty-calorie snacks.

Simple sugars contain one powerfully sweet molecule, called a saccharide. Saccharides come from beets and sugar cane and have been reduced to their simplest form through processing. This type of sugar is nutritionally empty and creates spikes in blood sugar as it races through the digestive system. Simple sugar, also known as sucrose or table sugar,
