Amazon International #1 Bestseller (January 2019)
 
This book reveals the simple secret to losing your sugar belly and never seeing it again.

Trendy low-carb diets, exercise programs, exercise equipment, and weight-loss surgeries typically produce a yo-yo effect, with short-term gains that cannot be sustained for a meaningful length of time. It's a vicious cycle that teases you with progress, raises your hopes, and brings you crashing back to reality.

The Sugar Belly Secret is different. It's a new, highly effective, easily sustainable weight-loss system based on the best practices of the most successful low-carb and high-carb diets that substitute real, healthy food and beverages for fake, processed ones. It doesn't require you to count calories, reduce portion sizes, or exercise, either.

In his informative and entertaining new book, The Sugar Belly Secret: Subtract the Sugar, Lose the Weight, and Transform Your Life, Joe Bovino explains how he discovered the secret to lasting weight loss and maintenance, and how you can use it to improve your appearance, health and fitness at any age. You'll also learn to outsmart food and beverage companies by spotting and subtracting products that expand your waistline, and adding ones that don't.
 
To learn more, pick up The Sugar Belly Reboot, Sugarspotting, and Fiberspotting on the Sugar Belly Secrets web page.

    This book is well written with excellent grammar and punctuation, which doesn’t always happen with Amazon Kindle books. It’s easy to read, fun and entertaining in places, and got to the point(s) without a bunch of fluff. It’s a common sense approach to not only weight loss, but to better health in general. I actually enjoyed this book and it has helped in motivating me to clean up my eating habits. I threw away all the leftover Christmas candy and dumped a quart of eggnog down the drain. I’m a sugar addict so that’s a big deal. This time, “I mean it”! I’ll use this book as an occasional refresher when I need it, as I really do feel that it’s helping me.

    LOVE THIS BOOK. My only regret is that I didn't learn this info years ago!
    I used to use fake sweeteners in everything. Just cutting those out I have lost weight and I am shocked!!!! Sure sucralose and Splenda won't make you fat per say, but they make you crave sugar like no other and its an addiction that the food industry make billions off of so of course they are going to blame your weight gain and sugar cravings on you and not them. THIS IS SO TRUE AND MADE ME SO UPSET AND OPENED MY EYES.
    I have been on strict calorie diets, body for life, 17 day diet, paleo, keto, atkins, the zone, weight watchers, you name it but I finally found a winner for life!
    I loved this book because it was short and to the point and also had facts and research to back it up. But the main thing I liked was his to the point and direct way of writing that made it an easy read. He doesn't drag out irrelevant points to sale his own products which makes this book written by a man who truly wants to help others and not his own pocket book.
    I support this author and I will tell everyone about this book.

    Get this book and start eating real food again!
    Cheers to your future healthy self! You deserve the body you want and this book will get you there.

    Basically do not eat sugar in processed foods but do eat fiber. Also exercise. A good book if you are just starting weight loss but most of us know this already if you have been reading healthy living / diet books for a while. Written well and I enjoyed the color illustrations showing how many sugar cubes are in a certain food which was rather shocking!

    I've battled a growing belly for over 45 years. This book sums up all of the many pieces of information about loosing my belly over the years, in one short read. I’m giving it another try with the four hormones in mind. I already exercise, but this encourages me to try again with renewed hopes. Wish me success in this final effort.
    There’s another read titled “LOW CARB REVOLUTION” by John McLean, I read this book years ago. I've been a skeptic most of my adult years because I've listened to medical advice, seen specialists, studied vitamin & mineral combinations, literally starved myself and in general followed different advices since my late teen years. I just kept acquiring more and more body fat. Nothing seemed to reverse this progression.
    I did notice a time when I was eating mostly stir-fry when my body composition was loosing fat. However, that time came and went when the Asian restaurant I favored became inaccessible.
    Reading about the basic hormones in SUGAR BELLY along with THE LOW CARB REVOLUTION, made me aware of why I was losing belly fat.
    Reading your book clarified the purpose of insulin in the human body. I now read labels and avoid all ADDED SUGARS, avoid most grains and feel that I am well on the way to a healthier "me". My energy levels have increased dramatically. I feel better than I've felt in years.
    Thank you in advance for helping me to see the light and to WAKE UP!!!

    As a P90X participant a number of years ago, I knew who Joe was, and assumed he was a natural life-long monster athlete (and Tony Horton's twin brother from a different mother). In this excellent book, he reveals his own struggles with health and well-being, especially post-P90X, and where his long journey has taken him with respect to health and diet. He reveals his conclusions in this clearly written, well-researched, and humorous book. There are several aspects of the book that I particularly appreciated. First, although it is clearly written, it isn't overly simplistic. There is plenty of detail for those who want to learn more about diet and nutrition. Second, Joe provides extensive notes and annotations on his research at the end of the book for those who want to go deeper into the topics he discusses. Third, the book is remarkably free of typos, which is becoming a rarity these days. Finally, he doesn't take himself, or even the topic of diet and exercise, too seriously even though it's clear that he is a serious student of both. I found that refreshing. I highly recommend this book - and its recommendations.

    Joe provides a simple well explained way to begin, read nutrition labels, make sure there’s more fiber than sugar. Aim for zero sugar, if possible. Whole Foods are better than juicing.

    As a 37 yo guy who regularly works out but like many struggles with nutrition this has been THE GAME CHANGER. I can relate to alot of what Joe states, mainly the unsustainable diet which leads to being ripped and lean only to prove a yoyo as the middle spread eventually returns. The techniques and full explanation about this makes it a Holy Grail in nutrition, it's sustainable nutrition and educating yourself for better choices. Employ the techniques that allow you to choose wisely to make that sugar belly shrink permanently.

    A superb concise read, a must for everyone as it has rapidly become clear the main health issues we are seeing reported can be abated, in my opinion, with ditching sugar. Beat the sugar addiction and ditch the sugar coated lies for a healthier you.
