Want to weigh less and less day after day?

Discover the power of pulses — the best-kept secret for losing weight! — in The Slim Belly Diet.

If you don't know what pulses are — or, more to the point, if you're not eating them — you could be stalling your weight loss efforts big time.

So what the heck are they? They're simply a category of the legume family consisting of dry peas, beans, lentils, and chickpeas. Most pack 6 to 9 grams of protein per ½ cup — that's a lot for plants — along with loads of B vitamins and fiber. Together, these nutrients contribute to a speedy metabolism, reduced cholesterol, and stable blood sugar. When it comes to weight loss, pulses have superpowers. One study found that people who ate more pulses (no other dietary or exercise changes!) lost the same amount in 2 months' time as those who slashed 500 calories per day from their diet. Other research has shown that people who eat the most pulses lose four times more weight than those who eat the least.

So if you're all signed up to eat more of these amazing beans, but you can't get by on hummus and black bean soup alone, check out The Slim Belly Diet. This new book helps you transform the foods you already eat and love into amazing fat-burning meals with the simple addition of this powerhouse food group.

Pastas, soups, polenta, even puddings, brownies, and cookies — you'll get more than 130 delicious, simple, and satisfying recipes that can help you burn more fat than exercise. You'll fuel up with all-day energy, rather than feel hungry or drained. That means you can help prevent the snack attacks and binge-fests that have worked against you in the past.
