Starting with the tax plan. The president apparently proposing a major change that could cut his own personal tax bill by more than half. Yeah, cecilia mentioned the Corporate Tax rate would go from 35 to 15 . And reportedly, this would apply to companies that file taxes through the personal tax code. George, that would Mean Companies like the trump organization. So its quite possible this would mean a windfall for donald trump personally and his family. Of course, we wont know for sure because he hasnt released his tax returns. Right. But instead of paying 39. 6 in personal, he would pay 15 under his own plan. The negotiations going on for the Government Shutdown. The president backing off demands to fund the border wall right now. It looks like hes going to get increased money for border security.

The market reacting favorably ahead of President Trumps tax plan reveal. The dow jones enjoying the best twoday stretch since november. Closing up more than 230 points. Nasdaq also rallying. Rebecca jarvis has details for us. Good morning, rebecca. Good morning to you, robin. Wall street has been laser focused on whats going on in washington, particularly this tax proposal, set to be released today. If that Corporate Tax rate comes down to 15 , the companies that have their stocks listed here at the New York Stock Exchange stand to have a great deal of savings. Some of them upwards of billions of dollars in tax savings in a given year. Theres also that focus now on corporate earnings. What weve been hearing from Corporate America and their report card. In particular, Technology Companies have really been driving the momentum in this rally. If you look at it, a handful of stocks, just five of them, amazon, apple, facebook, microsoft, and alphabet, the Parent Company of google, have driven 40 of the gains so far this year. One reason for that, robin, is they win whether or not washington passes these proposals. What are investors keeping an eye on Going Forward . The key is that theres a big difference between a proposal and a done deal on taxes. Wall street is very much aware of that, because of what we saw happen with the Health Care Bill earlier last month. Robin . All right, thank you, rebecca. Now to the breaking news overnight. Tensions rising with north korea as the u. S. Deployed key parts of a Missile Defense system into place on a golf course in south korea. Martha raddatz with the latest. Martha, this was deployed ahead of schedule. It was. It will take several months to finally get it in place and get it operational. This is a very sophisticated system. The chinese dont want this system there because theyre basically afraid with those sophisticated radars that the u. S. Will be spying on china. But this is an antiMissile Defense system to protect from north korea. Its about 155 miles south of seoul. I saw a lot of those antiMissile Defense systems. The Patriot Missile system. This is south of seoul. Meantime, another incident revealed overnight with an iranian ship. A small iranian boat, against a big american destroyer. This was in the persian gulf. This happens fairly frequently. More unprofessional behavior. And the u. S. Ship had to fire flares to get the small boat the back off. Happened about 35 times last year. About seven times this year. President trump has already put out a warning in the past that these small boats should stay away. It happened monday. We just learned about it last night. Thank you, martha. New concerns former National Security adviser Michael Flynn may have broken the law. Both a top democrat and republican say flynn failed to disclose business dealings with russia. According to a new abc Washington Post poll 56 of americans think russia tried to affect the election. 39 think the Trump Campaign tried to assist the effort. Our Congressional Correspondent mary bruce from capitol hill. Reporter good morning. The president s first National Security adviser this morning could be on the hook for hundreds of thousands of dollars. And, potentially facing jail time after lawmakers here say he failed to properly disclose his business dealings abroad. Theyve already fired him. But this morning, the white house still cant escape the controversy surrounding Michael Flynn. Right now, the big question, did he break the law . That would be a question for him and Law Enforcement whether or not he filled i dont know what he filled out and what he did or did not do. Reporter over two years, he received hundreds of thousands of dollars from Foreign Governments. 2015 receiving 45,000 for appearing at this event in moscow. Seen here shaking hands with president putin. Now, the Top Republican and democrat on the House Oversight Committee Say flynn failed to properly disclose these ties. As a former military officer, you cant take money from russia, turkey, or anywhere else. It appears he took that money. It was inappropriate and there are repercussions. For the violation of law. Reporter its an omission that could cost him up to five years in prison. So you think he broke the law . I see nothing in those records that would lead me to believe that he complied with the law. He needed to do something proactively and he didnt. Reporter after just 24 days as National Security adviser, flynn was fired for lying to the Vice President about his conversations with the russian ambassador. Mike flynn is a fine person. And i asked for his resignation. Reporter now, lawmakers want to see additional documents related to his hiring and firing. The white house is not willing to hand them over. To ask for every call or contact that a National Security adviser made is pretty outlandish, if you will. Reporter now, flynns lawyer says he did brief the Defense Department extensively on the 2015 trip to russia. Hes not commenting on claims he may have broken the law. Could flynn face charges . That decision is now up to the military. George . Lets talk to dan abrams. Three legal issues right here and three venues. Number one, this reporting requirement, not reporting to various people he was working for. Thats with regard to getting security clearance. When you get clearance, youre required to answer certain questions. And willful and knowing concealment of information, like getting these kinds of payments, could be considered a crime. Thats the most likely issue. I think thats the one most people are talking about now. And the second one, we have heard about the emoluments clause. Apparently it applies to retired generals. A former military officer cant receive payments from a Foreign Government without getting congressional consent. The question here would be, one of the allegations is with regard to the television station russia today is that a Foreign Government . That would be the legal question involved there. Thats issue number two. Number one is concealment potentially of the information when getting security clearance. Number two is did he violate the laws of a Foreign Military officer getting payments from a Foreign Government . The third one is the violation of the logan act. Explain that. It prevents individual citizens with negotiating, in effect, with a Foreign Government. This relates back to december, before President Trump was inaugurated, was he having conversations with russian officials where he was effectively making promises on behalf of the government. That, too, could be a violation of the law. Were talking about violations that require a prosecution. It requires in almost all these cases the attorney general would have to decide to prosecute. Thats why its so dangerous. Michael . Now to the flooding in north carolina. A new storm thats bringing Severe Weather to the middle of the country. And ginger zee is tracking it all.

Reporter good morning. Police say they had to track soules down after the accident, arresting him several hours later. Soules was uninjured and is now out on 10,000 bond and is facing a felony charge. Hes the iowa farm boy who captured americas attention in season 19 of the bachelor. Im chris soules. 33 years old and im from arlington, iowa. Reporter looking for love on tv. Love is like farming. You plant a seed. You hope it grows. Reporter this morning, a different reality. Arrested early tuesday and charged with leaving the scene of a fatal accident. Mr. Soules, youre charged with leaving the scene of an accident causing death. The driver of the tractor is unconscious in the ditch. Reporter according to officials, the 35yearold rearended a tractor with his pickup truck on a rural road killing the tractor driver, 66yearold kenneth mosher, who was also one of soules neighbors in this closeknit community. Documents revealing alcohol was found at the scene, though soules is not charged with driving under the influence. This is not his first runin with the law. Hes had a series of speeding tickets. Multiple citations for drinking under age. Arrested for a dui a little over ten years ago. Reporter soules first stepped into the spotlight in 2014. Vying for the affection of bachelorette andi dorfman. You clean up nice. Reporter later returning as the bachelor introducing the women to his beloved hometown of arlington.

Now hell have to stay there. Ordered not to leave the state without court approval. Soules had to surrender his passport and has to wear an ankle monitor. He faces up to five years in prison if convicted. As for the victim, a loving father and grandfather, he loved farming. Thank you so much, dan is back with this. Five years that chris soules could be facing. And thats just on the potential crime of leaving the scene of a deadly accident. The reason its a felony and five years is because someone died. Were not talking about who caused it, why it was caused. Those are separate questions. This is just for leaving the scene of an accident. Its a crime to leave the scene of an accident. It is a more serious crime to leave the scene of an accident when someone dies. And the fact that alcohol was reportedly found at the scene. That will be an interesting part of the investigation into the cause of the crash. The leaving the scene is a separate issue. Alcohol, no alcohol, you leave the scene of an accident, someone dies, you have the potential for a felony there. You find alcohol at scene, what was the cause of the crash . Could this have been negligent homicide . Could this have been reckless homicide . We dont know if he was responsible. Theyll being looking into it. Why did the crash occur . Was alcohol a part of it . The investigation continues. This is not chris first runin with the law. Thats the kind of thing that in theory shouldnt matter. You talk to investigators, who are looking into a case like this, thats in their heads. They want to know, who is this guy . Whats his past . Not necessarily that it would come into a trial against him. When investigators are looking at case like this, that matters, in trying to assess this happened, where was he coming from. Was he drinking et cetera. That could play into sentencing . Absolutely. If he was convicted, his past becomes more relevant in determining the sentence. Dan thanks so much. Michael, george. Coming up, the president s promises on National Security. Our promise tracker is next. I have asthma. One of many pieces in my life. So when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my longterm control medicine. I talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. Oncedaily breo prevents asthma symptoms.

Its way beyond ice cream. Back now with a closer look at President Trumps first 100 days and this mornings promise tracker. National security spotlight. Where things stand on his travel ban. From several majority muslim countries and his promised secret plan to destroy isis. Martha is back. President trump has had major Foreign Policy issues to deal with, the chemical attack in syria and the north Korean Missile threat. Back in the campaign, his big priorities and promises were elsewhere. The message from thencandidate trump seemed clear. Donald j. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the United States. Until our countrys representatives can figure out what the hell is going on. Reporter a shocking pronouncement that evolved during the campaign. I will suspend immigration. From areas of the world where theres a proven history of terrorism against the United States. Extreme vetting. I want extreme. Reporter and candidate trump carried that promise to the white house. One week in office, signing an executive order temporarily banning all incoming refugees and immigrants from seven predominantly muslim countries. His supporters buoyed. But at airports from coast to coast outrage and chaos. Families left stranded. I dont know what to do because i sold my house. I quit my job. Reporter the courts quickly stepping in. Putting temporary restraining orders on the original ban. And again on the second watered down version. This ruling makes us look weak. Reporter and in fighting the war on terror, trump the candidate unafraid to go it alone. I know more about isis than the generals do. Believe me. I would bomb the [ bleep ] out of them. Reporter touting a secret plan to defeat isis quickly. Their days are numbered. Reporter trump, the president , keeping up the fight into mosul. Giving his commanders more leeway. We have given them total authorization. Reporter and in afghanistan, that socalled mother of all bombs dropped on isis fighters. The white house calling it a clear signal to americas adversaries. The world witnessed the strength and resolve of our new president. North korea would do well not to test his resolve. Reporter and as for isis under trump, 400 more troops have been ordered to syria. Nearly doubling the u. S. Troops on the ground there. Stats by the air force indicate that the u. S. And its allies dropped more weapons in march than in any other month since the operation began in august 2014. A big caveat. Major operations to take back mosul and raqqa are under way. So thats probably why they dropped more weapons george. I want to bring terry moran in. Our chief foreign correspondent. Let me begin with you. The increased actions in syria. The dramatic missile strike cut against the president s Campaign Promise to stay out of syria. Yeah, its all about the chemical attack. Its all about that chemical attack. He went in with those air strikes. Going after the syrian troops. And that chemical plant. I dont think it really changes much. I dont think it changes his strategy there. Hes not going to try to get assad out of syria himself. I think hes stayed on track, as you say. On track with the air strikes in iraq. There are many more right now because of mosul. Unless there is another chemical attack, i dont think youll see him going after it. Youre in moscow, terry. The president , during the campaign, had a lot of kind things to say about vladimir putin. Talked about having a better relationship with putin. One of the things we have seen from the fallout of the serious strike is a new cold war with russia right now basically. Absolutely, george. They popped champagne and partied in the kremlin the night donald trump was elected. Now theyre puzzled, wary of him. As you point out, were at loggerheads with russia in syria and to a degree in ukraine as well. President trump has basically learned the lesson that all president s do. President s alone dont make a nations alliances. Longterm National Interests do. And in syria, the longterm National Interests of russia and the United States are opposite. And they are right now, flaring is into what you say is really a low point of tensions between the two countries. However, donald trump still is a dealmaker. He wants to make a deal in syria. In north korea, with china, who he excoriated. Wanted to label a currency manipulator. He takes not a global, strategic vision. But whats the next goal, and how do i cut the deal to get there . A lot of leaders saying how can we do business with them. Terry, thank you. You have seen a significant softening with china in the campaign rhetoric. Absolutely. Are all that rhetoric in the beginning and now he needs china. Thats why you have seen the softening. He needs china to help in north korea. President trump says well go it alone if china doesnt help. He has to have chinas help. To pressure north korea. Over to michael. Thank you, george. Coming up on the big board. The new warning from schools across the country about the netflix show so many teens are now watching. Plus, Dale Earnhardt jr. s big announcement.

Optum. How well gets done. keybdear freshpet, tank was overweight and had no energy. Until freshpet. Put the puppy back in my dog. Back now with the big board and our Youth Development expert, dr. Deborah gilboa. Shes here at the table for our very first story warning about the Netflix Series 13 reasons why on netflix deals with the tough topic of teen suicides. Saying it may be too dangerous for kids and we have a lot of people here saying they were seeing these letters. Tell people the concerns here. So, this is probably something parents have never experienced. Getting a letter from school about a tv show. Schools are worried about the same thing that Suicide Prevention groups are worried about. That kids are going to see this. It doesnt offer hope. Doesnt talk about depression and how its treatable. It doesnt say there are other options than suicide. Netflix, they released a statement saying we knew the material covered sensitive topics. We worked with Mental Health experts to show how these issues impact teens in real and dramatic ways. Could this show pose a risk to young people . That is not exactly strong right now. It does. Theres a small risk of copycat suicides. And even one is too many. It provides an opportunity. If adults are watching this show with kids and talking about it, the conversations they start could save kids lives. Youre an expert and a mom of four boys. Yes, maam, i am. What do you say to parents . If this is appropriate for your child, thats a big decision, coview. Watch it with your kid. When youre watching, watch your child as much as you watch the show. A good point. See their reaction. Then talk. But more than you talk, ask. Ask what did this mean to you. Ask what else could she have done . What would you do if this happened to you or a friend . Ask and listen to their answers. Watch them watch it. I love that. The reaction could tell you whats affecting them. Its hard to talk about. And this is an entry point. If you dont find this one, you have to find an entry point. And the biggest thing, talk, ask and talk. Dr. Gilboa, thank you. Now to the end of an era for nascar. Racing superstar Dale Earnhardt jr. Announcing his retirement tuesday. Robin . Dont go, junior. Hes saying hell step away from the wheel after the end of the 2017 season. Heres what he said during an emotional press conference. Youre wondering why i reached this decision. Its simple. I wanted the opportunity to go out on my own terms. The opportunity to stand here at this podium to announce my choice. Rather than some fate that was decided for me. And were joined by former nascar driver and espn analyst ricky craven. Thank you for joining us. Why do you think earnhardt jr. Felt this was the time to say goodbye . I believe the sobering realization that ive given you all i have. I dont have anything else. And, this sport, michael and robin, this sport takes its toll physically. That was front and center in 2016 when Dale Earnhardt jr. Missed the second half of the season with concussion symptoms. The emotional component is taxing. And takes its toll. For 17 years, Dale Earnhardt jr. Has soldiered on and put up big wins in spite of losing his dad in the 2001 daytona 500. The race that we were both in. Its taxing. Hes handled it with such grace. And has been the face, in many ways, of nascar. Bridging his dads era with the new era of drivers. As you said, the concussion. Hes never shied away talking about what this has meant to him and done to him. You think, perhaps, part of it is because he missed so much of last season that hes stepping away . I do. I do, absolutely. And when that comes to fruition is when you strap back in the race car, the beginning of the season, and having spent six months on the sideline, hes 42 years old. And you realize, my goodness. Im a half step behind. And you cant make up that half step. When youre 42. I mean, its next to impossible. And i think that, again, has a debilitating effect emotionally for any athlete. You know. We all know the time comes. We dont know when. Dale earnhardt jr. Has made it clear he wants to control when he hangs up his helmet. Just like michael did. It happened to me at 36. I couldnt wait until 42. He just got married. And good for him. That espn newsroom looks better than when i was there. They remember you. It wasnt that way when i was there.

President trump unveiling what he is promising to be a record tax cut. We have details on this proposal and who stands to benefit from it. Our senior white house correspondent, cecilia vega joins us with that. Reporter good morning to you. President trump said this could be the biggest tax cut we have ever had. He has hoping to make good on a Campaign Promise, a key one as he approaches that 100day mark. He wants to cut the Corporate Tax rate from 35 to 15 and cut individual tax rates. But the opposition is already mounting. One estimate says an early version of the president s plan could cost as many as 6 trillion in lost revenue over ten years. White house officials tell me what is being released today is a draft, but taking on major tax reform is one of the most difficult and controversial m e moves a president can attempt. It has not happened since Ronald Reagan was in the white house. Thank you. President trump is slamming the federal court that blocked his executive order on socalled sanctuary cities. A judge saying the president cannot rule on those laws. He said it will cause irreparable harm, and the president says its ridiculous ruling, adds, quote, see you in the Supreme Court.

Our senior medical contributor, dr. Jen ashton is here. As a parent, you play a big role in shaping the eating habits of your kid. Yeah, no question. Are you emotional eaters . Hmm, i dont know. Can i ask the audience . Raise your hand. So there are some people out there who recognize it. Then, of course, there will be a lot who dont. What this study the did, was look at is there a relationship between emotional feeding, which means a parent who responds to the emotional state of their child by feeding that child. Usually like feeding things like this. Not like this. No one says, oh, youre upset, have a piece of broccoli. It just doesnt happen. And so, they did this study in norway. They started with 4yearolds. Followed up at ages 6, 8, 10. They found a relationship. A cascading effect between parents who fed those children when they felt upset and Emotional Eating on the part of those children. Are there other patterns formed in childhood . Besides Emotional Eating . No question. Are you a picky eater . Any parent of a toddler can see that start at an early age. Do you graze or snack . Do you eat in front of the tv set . There are good habits to establish. Are you eating as family . I dont think im an emotional eater or feeder. But parents that recognize that they are, how can you change that . What can you do . You want to lead by example. Avoid using food as punishment or reward. Talk about your emotions. And im going to have a carrot. Go the healthy route. Thank you very much.

Our great friend, grammywinning artist, mandisa. She helped welcome me back to gma with her hit song stronger in 2013. That was following my bone marrow transplant. Shes been a source of comfort and inspiration for so many people. I remember that like it was yesterday. My sisters were here. And im one of many who said thank you. You helped so many of us overcome. Please welcome, an overcomer herself, mandisa, back here to gma. [ cheers and applause ] thank you. Oh. Wow. Yeah. I told you not to make me cry. Tears of joy. That song also your song, overcomer, the video. People remember it. They saw it. It was for your friend, kisha. When she passed away from breast cancer, you lost it. You went into deep depression. Tell people what happened. It is so ironic because that is a song that helped so many people. I remember when i asked you to be in it. Oh, gosh. Youre really trying to make me try. That is kisha. Wow. I remember telling you about her when i was here. And really believing and praying that god was going to heal her. When she passed away, it just shook the foundation underneath me in a way i didnt expect. I have never been the kind of person that shakes my fists and yells at god. Im the kind of person who shuts down. I told jen, dr. Jen, amazing that you had that segment here about Emotional Eating because thats what i have done my entire life. So after losing over 120 pounds. Which i talked about my first time here, i gained it all back. And 75 more. And so i sunk into the deepest depression after my life after kisha passed. You would not let people in your door. You put ear plugs in. You shut people out . I did. That is kind of i think, growing up, you know, living with just my mom and growing up isolated a lot and being super single. If youre a big black believer and a born again with a goatee, call me. Its so easy to shut people out and be by myself. Ive learned how dangerous that is. You said you were going down a very dark road. It got pretty bad. To the point where if i had not gotten off that road, i wouldnt be sitting here today. I was this close to listening to that voice that told me, you can be with jesus right now, all you have to do is take your life. And it almost happened. But, god is what i say. He saved my life, quite literally. He stepped in. Your friend stepped in. Love stepped in. [ applause ] ive often said, you know, when people ask, was your faith shaken . I said, i got mad at him. But he can take it. He can take it. Just dont stay mad. Tell people how your friends, you were at a movie. That was a dark place. You watched movie after movie. When you came out of the movie, what did you find on your car . I came out of the theater. This was after years of me being in that dark place and ignoring everybody, and i noticed my car had a bunch of sticky notes all over it, and as i these notes said things like, we love you. Come back to us. We miss you. As i got closer, a group of my friends, who i had shut out, they were there. They had been waiting at the theater as i sat there and watched two movies, not just one. They wait there had over four hours for me. They pretty much had an intervention. They said, we love you just as you are. But we love you too much to leave you that way. Im so glad they were there for you. You have been there for so many people. Thank you for allowing us to be there for you. It means so much. Your new music, which youre going to hear in the next half hour youre going to hear her new music. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Youre allowing yourself to be transparent. Youre letting us in. Totally. Yeah. I realized as i started to share this story. I started to hear from people who said, im just glad to know im not alone and not the only one who felt that way. The album thats coming out may 19th is called out of the dark. The song im going to sing is unfinished. I dont have to have it all together. Im masterpiece in the making. Im just unfinished for right now. Yes, indeed. And were going to hear that coming up. But youre in a good place now . You are in a good place . I have never been better. Im not where i want to be. But thanks god im not where i was. I have lost, you know, about 75 of the weight that ive gained. Im going to get all the way there. Not finished yet. Not finished yet. All right. You are going to be back. Thank you for sharing that. Well be right back. Mandisa is back. Hey, good morning. Im natasha zouves.

Theyre looking to hire at their Top Secret Research laboratory in england. According to the job posting, you can build products straight out of science fiction. Its a place where alexa, they came up with that. And those delivery drones. This is the place to do it. If you can dream it they can do it. Comic book stuff. Would you pitch something . Any kind of thing i could come up with . Oh, man, i dont know. I wish i could become invisible. I was thinking the same thing. A suit. That would be fun. I asked some people on twitter. One woman said when you go to bed, your makeup comes off automatically. Wouldnt it be great . Thats good. Just disappears. Thats genius. George and i are like, what would that do for us . Automatically refilled rose glass. A lot of people referring to the jetsons. They had a lot of things. Those great scooters. The air scooters. The foodarac. Remember that . There it is.

If you watch the movie, passenger, theyre going to have Something Like that in the future. Just spits the food out to you. Okay, cant wait. Doesnt that make it sound delicious . Heres something that is delicious, as well. Theres a whom whose viral post her post went viral. Its called, my child is not required to share. She posted on facebook. She said her child went to the park, had something to share with a friend, all these strangers, kids came over, she said, its okay not to share your toys with strangers. A lot of people shot back at her. It went viral. A lot of people probably disagree with that. Im curious. Do you think its okay for her to tell her child, you dont have to shoir wiare with everyb . I was torn when i read it. She made one point. If im walking through the park and having a sandwich on my lunch break and a stranger came up to me and said, give me half, would i have to share that . And i thought, no. I wouldnt want to share my sandwich. I dont think thats the same thing. These are kids. She had a couple of very good points. My initial reaction is, i think the world would be a better place if we all shared more. Her points were valid. Its one thing if someone said give me half your sandwich. But its another thing if somebody came up and you are saying, would you like and do you want to share it . With children how do you teach kids not to share . I dont see how thats a good next time i see someone in the park with a sandwich, im going to say, would you please give me half of your sandwich . See if that would work. I dont think you have to teach kids not the share. I think in the. In the nature of the kid to share. You see kids that get together that dont know each other. They get together. There are no boundaries. Kids dont have preconceived notions about not sharing what they have. I think were all on the same side of this. Just so you get context on what she was saying, she said, the goal is to teach our children how to function as adults. Some adults clearly never learned how to share. I know far more who dont know how to say no, practice boundaries, practice selfcare, myself included. Her hearts in the right place here. But i agree. Lets just all share. [ applause ] the other side. I was trying, george. I was trying to be we have a special treat. This is a street musician in london going viral with unique guitarplaying skills. Lets take a look.

[ cheers and applause ] youll have a big crowd if you play for another 30 seconds. What did your family think about your decision to give up your job and do that in the streets .

By the end of the week you have five bad habits you broke, five good ones you improved, five you added. Taking the bad to the good. We have an audience member with a question. Hi. Hey. So my bad habit is that i dont eat breakfast. Instead, i drink Energy Drinks to get me through the morning. That is a double whammy. The worst thing you can do is not eat during breakfast. Most important meal. You got to eat something, and also, Energy Drinks are one of the reasons were consuming so many added sugars. Do with whole grains, fiber, protein. A little bit of sugar. Im not saying you cant consume sugar. Maybe in moderation. Maybe a shake if youre on the go. Or oatmeal. Something with more whole grains in it. Get away from the double whammy. Lets get to specifics. You have a typical meal plan here. Explain this. Its a fiveweek plan. You can have all kinds of options. This is regular food by the way. Not diabetic food. This is the morning for example. French toast, on the plan. A smoothie. You can have an egg sandwich, and these are options. And these are called power ups. If youre hungrier, some bread, some toast, butter, jam, berries. Then we move down. The back of the book has tons of snacks. Make sure theyre 15 grams of carbs or less. Walnuts. Almonds. All kinds of snacks on the back of the book that you can follow. Then you come to lunch. Lunch is an important meal obviously. Here, theres a recipe. There are 50 recipes in the book that anyone can fix. So they are chicken skewers. Sandwiches. Another power up. What exactly is a power up . You dont have to have it. If you need a little extra, it gives you energy and power. Then your dinner options. You have pork, turkey. Cauliflower. Brown rice for power ups. You can snack on this program. You can snack on the program. Now, in addition to eating right, you have to exercise as well. If you want to maximize the weight loss, drop the blood sugars, exercise is important. Over here, we have some resistance training which is important. Training to build muscle. People should do this twice a week. Over here, body weight exercises. Cardio. Jog punches. Mountain climbers. All these things make the book effective for people to lose their weight and drop the blood sugar by up to 30 . You know what, doc .
