We recently teamed up with professional chef and cookbook author Cricket Azima to develop a series of recipes inspired by our GOLO metabolic meal plan.  Since it’s summertime, Cricket focused on recipes that take advantage of the range of fresh seasonal ingredients that are more abundant this time of year, like tomatoes, red peppers, avocados, and cilantro. She also “leaned in” on nutritious proteins like shrimp and turkey. The goal was to create fun and tasty recipes that families and friends can enjoy as part of their backyard cookout plans this summer.  After considering several ideas, C...

Excess weight, and especially excess belly fat, cause your body to be less efficient at managing blood sugar and insulin levels. Insulin is the critical hormone that regulates the metabolism, and ...
