Diets & Weight Loss

At 247 pounds, Diana Stobo was plagued by pain and physical discomfort. After years of struggling with body image, health issues, and the addictive food cycle, Diana became sick and tired of being sick and tired. She decided to take her health into her own hands.

Displaying a list of Nos prominently on her fridge – No Sugar, No Wheat, No Dairy, No Alcohol, No Caffeine, No Meat – Diana "got naked" and watched her life and her health quickly transform.

In her own words, "Getting Naked means stripping down and simplifying the nourishment that you put in your body. I use the term Naked instead of Raw because we are often set up for failure if we strictly limit ourselves to just one thing."

Diana shares her simple and flexible philosophy in the recently published Get Naked Fast: A Guide to Stripping Away the Foods That Weigh You Down.

The basis of her approach is eliminating refined sugars, wheat, dairy, alcohol, caffeine and meat, and in the "Know Nos" section, she offers a sensible overview of how the different foods affect the body.

I found the information easily digestible. There are no "shoulds" or "should nots." She even addresses common questions:

Q: Im addicted to coffee and cant start my day without it. What should I do?
A: If this is the one vice you have while alleviating all the other toxins from your body, then have your cup of joe and enjoy it.

Q: What happens when Im hungry?
A: Its simple, you eat.

I so resonate with her start-where-you-are approach. By taking things one step at a time and allowing your system to gently detox, youll soon see the benefits of Getting Naked. Watch as your energy starts to increase, your skin clears and brightens, your eyes sparkle, and you begin to effortlessly shed unwanted weight.

Diana breaks it all down for you. Shell teach you how to makeover your pantry and explore food substitutions as you begin to Know the Nos. Simple replacements like almond milk for cows milk, or sprouted whole grain flourless bread for your usual wheat bread can make a big difference to your body.

And for those of you who gotta have that cup of joe, she suggests substituting Euromild™ Acid Free Coffee for your daily caffeine fix. Sweeteners, condiments, alcohol, its all laid out. She makes it super easy to make out your new grocery shopping list.

So, what to do with your newly restocked kitchen? Get Naked Fast and start playing with your food!

Dianas created delicious and simple recipes for Naked Nourishment. Most prep times average between 5 and 15 minutes.

I like to start my day with freshly extracted green juice, but many folks like to begin their day with something hearty. Hows Fresh Apple Muesli with Maple-Pecan Cream or Hot Quinoa-Cranberry Cereal grab you? Maybe an Easy Almond Date Milkshake or Julius Kefir Smoothie is more your thing.
