Why this book was written:
I bet you are wondering why I wrote this book? I’m not a qualified chef or
nutritionist but I do have a lot in common with these professions. Just like you I
love food, food is fuel and trying to find the right diet whatever your reasons are,
e.g losing weight, diabetes, food intolerances is a task within itself! So I put
together some of my favourite recipes so that you can now know the secrets of
maintaining a delicious balanced diet.
All the Ingredients in this book you can buy wheat free, gluten free and sugar
free.
The most inspiring thing for me while writing this book, was that I found it an
adventure in itself. After trial and tribulation I have prepared a healthy diet for
you to enjoy so you don’t have to feel it’s a burden to diet or to keep eating
healthily.
There is a lot I have leant from writing this book. If you eat my diet I want you
to be careful not to stop eating carbohydrates altogether but to start eating foods
that are low carbohydrate and also low on the glycemic index i.e. slow sugar
releasing.
This is so your body can start to break down fats which will release the toxins in
your body that will be expelled through the usual channels. At first you might
not lose weight because you are toxic. You may even feel horrible and feel that
little monster inside you saying “give me sugar”. You have to be strong and say
no!
The toxins in your body will get released and get pushed out of your system.
The toxins will try their very best to win, they have been hiding away in your
cells for sometime. So time to set them free. Get freedom from your foods!
I had to change my diet because of my health problems. I was very depressed, I
gained 30 lb in little over a few months and there was no chance of my weight
gain slowing down unless I changed my diet and the way a felt inside. I decided
to beat my health problems with the help of top nutritionist Hazel Du Preez, and
my good friend Ian Solley. I cured my fatigue, I got on top. Through my diet
and exercise I lost 5 lb in a week. I reduced my aches and pains and headaches
and I got rid of my bloated stomach.
So here is a diet that makes your mouth water with the thought of eating it. I’ve
tried and tested all my recipes on top detox nutritionist Hazel Du Preez and of
course my whole family and they love it. So give it a go!

Why is it so hard to diet and why is there so much conflicting advice on how
to diet and eat healthily? (Ok the next bit is technical but hang in there).
Some diets have completely the wrong message i.e. stop eating fats! Warning:
cutting down on fat intake is harmful. Your hormonal systems rely on good fats!
Eat them! (Not refined oils like margarine but healthy oils from butter (yes butter
is healthy) or those found in clean sourced fish or vegetables/nuts/seeds).
The misunderstanding and conflicting advice about dieting is a result of the diet
industries ability to market ideas that have NO basis in science.
For example one day I overheard two young women in a supermarket discussing
how to loose weight – They would buy rice cakes! They were reading the label
and figured if it's got hardly any fats - it must be slimming? WRONG!
There is a fundamental reason why this “This Diet Works” reduces fast sugar
releasing carbohydrates in the diet. (You still eat carbohydrates just not the bad
ones). To understand this we need to know a little about what happens when we
eat carbohydrates like sugars, bread, starchy vegetables, potatoes, fruit, etc.
The body responds differently depending on whether food is carbohydrate,
protein or fat.
It’s worth looking at how we evolved, as it highlights how absolutely ridiculous
our modern sugar-rich diets are. Five hundred million years ago, we weren’t
about on this planet. However, eicosanoids (the super hormones that control all
our body systems) were. These were the first hormonal control system for living
organisms to interact with their environment; and they existed in sponges.
Four hundred and fifty million years later, the paired endocrine hormones (those
that are secreted from a gland, the pancreas, into the blood) insulin and glucagon,
appeared.
Evolution designated eicosanoids to be that control system over those hormones
and how an organism responds to food, and nothing has changed in this regard for
hundreds of millions of years. By the time man appeared 100,000 years ago, this
control system was deeply embedded in the genes, and genetic changes evolve
very slowly. Therefore, as a species, our bodies don’t react very well to changes
in our embedded dietary patterns.
As hunter gatherers, our insulin responses evolved in the face of the uncertainty
over our food supply. Faced with long periods without food, the body developed a
system for storing nutrients. Insulin is effectively a storage hormone. Its role is to
take excess glucose from carbohydrates and amino acids from protein and convert
them into fat.
5
The body always needs a constant supply of carbohydrates in the blood to feed
our glucose-hungry brains. So the body continually takes carbohydrates and
converts them into glucose, and insulin is released to drive down sugar levels in
the blood to keep them constant. Any excess carbohydrate not immediately used
by the body is converted into glycogen (a form of glucose) and stored either in the
liver or the muscles.
Only the glycogen in the liver (not the muscles) is accessible to the brain –
because it’s easily broken down and used. This store lasts about 12 hours,
meaning the liver's glycogen levels must be maintained on a continual basis.
That’s why we eat carbohydrates. The problem comes when we eat too many
carbohydrates. I think we can all relate to that. Once the glycogen levels are filled
in both the liver and the muscles, excess carbs gets converted into fat and stored
in the adipose (fatty) tissue. And remember, it’s fat cells we’re trying to break
down and convert so that they release their toxic load. Eating carbohydrates
makes this biologically impossible.
The biological opposite of insulin is glycagon. Instead of acting as a storage
hormone as insulin does, glycagon mobilises stored carbohydrates from the liver
by converting glycogen back into glucose to be released into the bloodstream.
Whereas insulin is stimulated by carbohydrate intake (proteins also produce an
insulin response but far time carbohydrates), glucagon is stimulated by protein
intake.
The aim of the diet is to consume foods that have very low carbohydrate content
and any content they have to be low on the glycaemic (US glycemic) index.
This index measures how fast carbs are broken down/digested and converted into
glucose in the bloodstream. High glycaemic foods raise the blood sugar levels too
fast, promoting an elevated insulin response.
The glycaemic index of a food depends on the structure of the simple sugars it
contains, its soluble fibre content and its fat content. Surprisingly, puffed rice
cakes have a higher glycaemic index than normal table sugar. What this means is
that they produce a higher insulin response and create higher insulin levels
pumped into the bloodstream, which basically instructs the body to store fat and
keep it stored.
The fat content in foods such as fibre content actually slows the rate of entry of
carbohydrates into the bloodstream. Fats also cause the release of cholecystokinin
(CCK) from the stomach, which tells the brain you’re full.
6
If you experience blood sugar swings, you may be suffering from either
hyperglycaemia (an excess of glucose, from high carbohydrate intake) that exists
in the bloodstream or hypoglycaemia (a deficiency of glucose in the blood). This
can be diet-related but can also be caused by parasites, harmful bacteria in the
intestines or faulty liver functioning.
Obviously, these typically high carbohydrate diets that we eat nowadays upset
this critical hormonal balance, and we can see how successful the ‘high
carbohydrate diets’ have been in reducing weight; we’re in the middle of an
obesity epidemic! So much for fats making you fat and overweight. In fact, you
have to eat fats to lose fat; just make sure they’re from high quality sources.
There is another problem with high insulin levels: they increase the chance of
diabetes, where you get insulin resistance, and insulin no longer effectively brings
down blood sugar levels. After the detox, the correct balance of protein to
carbohydrate to fat that you should eat in your meals is 40% carbohydrate to 30%
protein to 30% fat. On the plate, that’ll mean that your carbohydrate portion will
look about twice as large as your protein portion. Eat in this ratio, and you’ll
maintain a healthy balance between good and bad eicosanoid (super hormones)
production and its dramatic impacts upon not only blood sugar and therefore
energy levels, but also upon immune system functioning, cardiovascular health,
CNS functioning, the reproductive system…
Now we understand the effect that cutting out carbs has on fat metabolism and it
results in lower insulin levels, we can look at two of the main effects of this:
1. REDUCED insulin response causes DECREASED Phospholipase 2 (PLA 2)
enzyme action. And the reason this is so important is because the activity of the
PLA 2 enzyme rises dramatically in states of toxicity (biotoxins or heavy metals)
and causes increased inflammation and metabolic distortion plus the loss of
essential fatty acids from phospholipids in the cell membrane. The solution is
dietary control of carbohydrates, which directly lowers PLA 2 and inflammation.
Another effect of cutting carbohydrates from the diet is:
2. REDUCED insulin response and INCREASED glutathione enzyme action.
Biotoxins and heavy metal toxicity decrease the levels of glutathione produced by
the body. However, a low carb diet supports the body in forming its own
glutathione, one of the most essential and powerful substances our immune
systems produce. Glutathione is a naturally occurring protein with antioxidant
properties produced by the cell which protects every cell, tissue and organ in our
bodies. Glutathione helps the liver filter the blood and helps protect cell enzymes
from damage.
7
It participates directly in the neutralisation of free radicals, reactive oxygen
compounds and maintains antioxidants such as vitamins C and E in their reduced
(active) forms. It is able to directly fuse together with foreign substances along
with also having potent anti-viral properties.
Note that a lack of glutathione has been linked to Fatigue. Also well known and
studied are the individual genetic differences in glutathione availability. Studies
show glutathione to be significant in enabling mercury bound together with
glutathione to be cleared from the blood more readily, preventing mercury from
entering red blood cells.

I have created this book so that anyone can understand the easy cooking
instructions.
To get the full health benefits from your food and aid detoxification:
1) Chew your food thoroughly!
2) Avoid eating when upset or stressed.
3) Eat little and often if digestion is weak.
4) Avoid drinking fluids after eating for at least 30-60 minutes.
5) Avoid skipping meals.
6) Take digestive enzymes after food (see list of suppliers at end of book).
7) Take chlorella 20 minutes before food (see list of suppliers at end of book).
8) AND MOST IMPORTANTLY: Introduce the diet slowly and if you stop
reintroduce higher carbs SLOWLY over a week.
Warning: Allergy clients. Some of these recipes are explicitly titled as
containing nuts. Dairy products have been substituted with soya milk and goats
cheese unless otherwise stated.
Forward By Nutritionist Hazel Du Preez
I have suggested to many of my clients, to write a recipe book of recipes that
they have found that helps them with the low-carb diet that I have been
advocating for over 5 years and that has helped so many. Kat has responded by
compiling a sumptuous selection of recipes that made her conversion to this way
of eating, and her subsequent resolution of her health problems, a breeze.

This book should make the low carb diet even more enjoyable as it certainly can
be. There are too many myths relating to low carb eating. This diet in the main
(there are a few higher carb treats), allows lots of vegetables and not just fat and
protein (preferably organic) as in the initial Atkins style diet. The difference is
that the vegetables and fruit are mainly all low carb.
After over 12 years of using Electro Dermal screening machines which can
identify the energetic signatures of toxins in the body, I have discovered that the
largest amount and the worst toxins are the heavy metals, especially mercury.
The reason for this diet working so effectively is that there is an overload of
heavy metals/neurotoxins in our cells that have been stored for many years. It
has been discovered that the liver is unable to effectively detoxify these toxins
when there is excess insulin in the body and the body then has to find a place to
store these toxins.
Many things can stimulate excess insulin – i.e. stress / adrenalin, alcohol,
carbohydrates, sugars (especially refined) etc. It has been discovered that there
is an enzyme in the liver that helps detoxify heavy metals, which is switched off
with raised insulin levels. Hence right from our first ‘Farleys’s rusk’, we have
been unable to adequately detoxify our heavy metals. Today these metals are at
an unprecedented level – they mainly come from amalgam fillings, vaccinations,
industrial pollution and fish. They are unavoidable and our bodies (especially in
children) have a huge amount of these neurotoxins to try and get rid of.
The low carb diet is the only way I have seen some really stubborn cases of
various illnesses resolved. There are obviously other things involved like taking
supplements/herbs to support this process but the strongest effect is from the
diet. Not everyone here will need to do it rigidly but for more serious health
complaints, it is certainly preferable. Occasionally there are some tough detox
symptoms that arise from the diet but with some guidance from a Nutritionist
used to this programme, it should not be a problem.
Kat’s recipes make it an easy transition to this way of eating and should be an
enjoyable experience, unlike a traditional diet.

Ratatouille
Ingredients
2 red peppers
1 Australian aubergine
1 courgette
250g goats cheese (grated)
! tsp oregano
Directions
Before you start cooking you must prepare all your ingredients. I start off with
slicing the red peppers and placing them on a plate, I do the same with the
aubergines and courgettes.
Heat your frying pan with a little olive oil until piping hot then sauté the
aubergines and courgettes.
Once you have sautéed the vegetables grab your ovenproof dish and start
layering your dish, not forgetting to sprinkle cheese in between each layer of the
vegetables.
I would start with the aubergine because it is larger and more likely to hold your
ingredients together. This can be a sloppy dish but my partner and I enjoy this
meal.
So anther tip is to use a deep oven dish to make more layers, you want about 5-6
layers.

Wheatgrass Shots
Ingredients
20 ml wheatgrass
Blender
Directions To Grow Wheatgrass:
Using organic soil and organic wheatgrass berries, scatter seeds on top of 2-
3 cm of soil in a plastic bedding tray and then place a light top cover. Leave
in a dark room for 3 days until shoots appear then place in (sun)light. 1 kg
of wheatgrass seeds is enough to grow 4 trays (1st and second cutting). An
average tray yields around 8 shots.
Lightly water every day, to keep damp but not saturated. Grow in light and
warmth. When the grass gets to a good height, 15-20 cm and starts to bend
cut down to near soil level, wash in water and use a blender to get the juice.
Drink immediately, do not freeze, or leave standing. A very powerful
detoxifier, it can make you feel a little queezy if you take too much because
20 ml is the equivalent of 1 kg of fresh fruit and vegetables.
