Julianna Wiggins

Julianna Wiggins is a chef who knows how hard it is to eat well when your health depends on it.

She was living with diabetes and carrying extra weight when she decided to change the way she ate. But she refused to live on bland diet food. She went back to her kitchen and turned the dishes she loved into high-protein, low-carb meals she actually wanted to eat.

Her favorite foods never disappeared. She still eats pizza, now as a pizza bowl. Cheeseburger night is still on, as a cheeseburger bowl. Burritos became burrito bowls, and mac and cheese is now made with cauliflower.

Her blood sugar stopped jumping, and she lost 44 pounds (20 kg) along the way. Today she shares these recipes in her cookbooks: quick high-protein, low-carb meals in 30 minutes or less, made with ingredients from any US or UK supermarket.

Julianna is a chef, not a doctor or dietitian. If you live with diabetes, check your eating plan with your doctor.
