Plan D - Paperback

by Sherri Shepherd (Author), Billie Fitzpatrick (Author)

Popular host of The View set to debut new daytime talk show on FOX TV, SHERRI*

In Plan D, Sherri Shepherd, Emmy Award winner and cohost of The View, presents her easy-to-follow program for losing weight, managing sugar sensitivity, and getting moving--all to help you feel and look your best.

For years, Sherri Shepherd was told that she was pre-diabetic. And for years, she ignored her doctor's advice to lose weight and get healthy before she developed full blown diabetes. When she finally got the big-D diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes, the same disease that took her mother's life, Sherri vowed that she'd change her ways so that her son wouldn't be left alone, without a mother, as she had been.

With the help of her doctor, she created this program, lost more than 40 pounds, and she looks great and has more energy than she did in her twenties. Sherri's diabetes is under control, and she was happy to show her stuff, wowing the world on Dancing with the Stars.

With tools to help you live a long and healthy life, Plan D is a smart and supportive plan designed to help you lose weight safely, make exercise a real, and fun, part of your life, and control your sugar sensitivity. And through it all, Sherri Shepherd is there, like a trusted friend, offering advice, encouragement, and of course a healthy dose of humor.

With her signature humor and hard-won wisdom, Sherri shares her practical, faith-filled approach to wellness:

• A Proven Weight Loss Plan: Learn the exact steps Sherri took to lose over 40 pounds and manage her Type 2 diabetes--without feeling deprived.
• Break the Cycle of Emotional Eating: Discover Sherri's powerful "Sherri Steps" to change your relationship with food and stop using it for comfort when you're feeling stressed, lonely, or bored.
• Motivation to "Do It Scared" Find the strength to start and the encouragement to keep going, inspired by Sherri's vow to be there for her son after losing her own mother to diabetes.
• Simple, Delicious Recipes: Get easy-to-follow meal ideas and strategies for managing your blood sugar that fit into a busy, real-world life.
• Faith and Forgiveness: Embrace a healthy dose of humor and a deep well of faith to help you forgive yourself for slip-ups and stay on the path for the long haul.
