New York Times bestselling author Cynthia Sass introduces an exciting yet little-known superfood that is the secret to weight loss, and provides a dynamic plan that focuses on these super shredders that can ultimately transform your body.

Discover the healthy secret that is helping people in Europe, Latin America, and India lose weight: Pulses. A unique class of carbs, pulses are the edible goodies that come from plants in the legume family—the most underrated superfood available—and have been shown to boost calorie and fat burning, whittle away belly fat, enhance fullness (to curb appetite and prevent snack attacks), and boost energy.

Cynthia Sass reveals the scientifically demonstrated power of this amazing food, and provides a sound, two-part nutritional “pulse” program for rapid and lasting weight loss. Begin with the four-day Rapid Pulse to jump-start your month-long weight-loss journey. Then, transition to the 26-day Daily Pulse, which will keep you shedding those unwanted pounds.

With the Pulse Plan, you won’t count calories, points, or grams. There are no complicated numbers or charts. You’ll incorporate a pulse serving into a simple meal-building strategy and learn how to add “energy accessories”—other healthy, carb-rich foods—without compromising weight loss. Here, too are insights on exercise (less is more), removing the biggest obstacles to getting fit (stress and time constraints), and using meditation (five minutes a day)—all essential elements in your remarkable, pulse-fueled weight loss journey.
