UNSPIKED — The 30 Day Cooking Guide

Dear reader,

If you’ve just been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and you have absolutely no idea what to eat…

This is the most important page you’ll read today.

Here’s why.

When you got that diagnosis, your doctor probably handed you a leaflet and said “watch your carbs.”

And then you went home and Googled.

And that’s when the real confusion started.

Forty-seven contradictory opinions. Keto people telling you to cut all carbs. Plant based people saying the opposite. A forum thread about someone losing a toe. A blog promising you could reverse everything in 21 days. Conflicting advice about fruit, bread, rice, everything.

By midnight you were more scared and more confused than when you walked out of that surgery.

So you probably bought a cookbook.

Maybe two.

The recipes called for ingredients you’d never seen in a normal supermarket. The portions looked like they were designed to punish you. You tried it for 10 days.

Then a tired Tuesday happened…

There was nothing easy in the fridge. And the old habits came back. Because the new ones were just too much work.

I know this because I hear it over and over again from women in exactly your position.

You’re not failing. The solutions were just wrong for you.


Here’s the real problem…

Every diabetes cookbook, every NHS leaflet, every meal plan app — they all assume you want to learn about diabetes.

You don’t.

You want to know what to cook for dinner tonight.

Without it being complicated.

Without it tasting like a punishment.

And without spending 45 minutes Googling whether you’re allowed to eat a banana.

There’s a massive gap between the clinical information out there and the practical “what do I actually cook tonight” answer you actually need.

That gap is exactly what UNSPIKED fills.


My name is Shannon Puglisi.

Shannon Puglisi — Creator of UNSPIKED

I created UNSPIKED because the resources available to newly diagnosed type 2 diabetics are either too clinical, too complicated, too extreme, or just plain miserable.

The ADA’s 2024 guidelines are clear. There is no required carb percentage for type 2 diabetics. You don’t have to go keto. You don’t have to give up bread. You don’t have to eat sad, punishing food.

You just have to understand three simple rules, eat from the right foods, and follow a structure that makes consistency easy.

That’s it. And that’s exactly what UNSPIKED gives you.

Everything inside is grounded in current guidance from the American Diabetes Association, Diabetes UK, the British Dietetic Association, the NHS, and the CDC.

Not some random blogger’s opinion. Not a forum post. Actual current clinical guidance, translated into meals a normal person can actually make.


Let me be clear about what UNSPIKED is NOT…

I’m not going to waste your time with:

  • A complicated diabetes education course that explains how the pancreas works…
  • A keto or low carb plan. The ADA says you don’t need one. So I’m not giving you one…
  • 50 recipes that call for ingredients you can only find in specialist health food shops…
  • A calorie counting system. You won’t be counting a single thing…
  • Tiny punishing portions that make you feel like you’re being punished for your diagnosis…
  • Generic “eat more vegetables” advice you’ve already heard a hundred times and that helps nobody…

If you’ve read this far, then you understand that what you need goes deeper than that.


Here’s exactly what UNSPIKED gives you…

UNSPIKED is a 34 page practical cooking guide built specifically for the first 30 days after a type 2 diabetes diagnosis.

It tells you exactly what to cook, exactly how to shop, and exactly how to set up your kitchen so that eating well becomes automatic by week 3.

Everything inside is grounded in current guidance from the American Diabetes Association, Diabetes UK, the British Dietetic Association, the NHS, and the CDC.

Not some random blogger’s opinion. Not a forum post. Actual current clinical guidance, translated into meals a normal person can actually make.

Here’s how the system works…

Step 1
The Three Rules That Actually Move Blood Sugar
Not thirty rules. Three. These are the things that actually matter for blood sugar, and everything else is noise until you have these right.
  • Half your plate is non starchy veg. Every single meal.
  • Carb quality matters more than carb quantity. The ADA 2024 guidelines confirm this explicitly.
  • Water at meals. Not juice, not soda, not “healthy” smoothies. Water.
Get these three right and you’ve done 80% of the work.
Step 2
Your Safe Foods List (20 Normal Supermarket Foods)
About 20 foods you can always reach for. Nothing exotic. Nothing expensive. Everything available in a normal supermarket.
  • 10 non starchy veg to always stock (fresh, frozen, or tinned, all count)…
  • 6 lean proteins on rotation…
  • 5 quality carbs, healthy fats, and the truth about fruit…
Includes a printable shopping list you can stick on your fridge door and take to the shop on your phone.
Step 3
Five Meal Templates You Use Forever
Not 50 recipes. Five structures. Each one is a framework you swap ingredients in and out of forever, meaning you’ll never need another diabetes cookbook.
  • The Breakfast Plate — protein, quality carb, something with colour…
  • The Lunch Bowl — base, protein, pile of veg, dressing…
  • The Dinner Plate — the classic plate method, applied consistently…
  • The Snack Rule — pair carb with protein or fat. Simple…
  • The Weekend Meal — cook once, eat three times…
Three real meal examples per template, all from Diabetes UK and ADA sources. Nothing made up.
Step 4
The 30 Minute Sunday Routine That Stops Everything Falling Apart
This is the piece every other diabetes guide leaves out. The five template meals are useless if Wednesday arrives and there’s nothing in the fridge.
  • Cook components not full meals. Mix and match all week…
  • Step by step 30 minute Sunday session guide…
  • What to prep and what NOT to prep…
  • The Thursday backup plan (because the wheels always come off on Thursday)…
One 30 minute Sunday prep session makes the rest of your week effortless.
Step 5
Your 30 Day Plan, Week by Week
One layer at a time. Not everything at once.
  • Week 1: Just survive. Plate method at dinner only…
  • Week 2: Add breakfast. Same one for five mornings straight…
  • Week 3: Add lunches. Use Sunday components to assemble a bowl…
  • Week 4: Stop thinking about it. It’s just how you eat now…
By week 4, this way of eating just feels normal. Not like a diet. Not like a chore. Just how you eat.

Still on the fence? Let me put $27 in perspective.

The average diabetes cookbook costs $15 to $30. Most people cook three recipes from it before it goes on the shelf.

A single session with a registered dietitian runs $80 to $150.

A meal planning app subscription costs $10 to $15 a month, and most have no structure for the newly diagnosed.

You’ve probably already spent more than $27 trying to solve this problem.

UNSPIKED is a one time $27. It tells you exactly what to eat for the next 30 days, in simple meals from a normal shop, with a daily planner to keep you on track and two printable cheat sheets for when you’re eating out or standing in the supermarket aisle wondering which yoghurt to pick.

The problem costs you far more than $27 — in money already spent on solutions that didn’t work, in stress, and in the health consequences of another month without a clear plan.


But wait… can’t I find this for free online?

You can. And you’ve probably already tried.

That’s the problem.

There’s so much free information about type 2 diabetes and diet that most people end up more confused after an hour of Googling than before they started.

Contradictions everywhere. No clear starting point. No structure. No “here’s what to cook tonight.”

You’re not paying for information. You’re paying for someone to have done the reading, removed the contradictions, checked it against current ADA and Diabetes UK guidance, and handed you a plan you can start today.

Curation is the product. The hard work is already done. All you have to do is follow it.


This is for you if…

  • You’ve recently been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and you don’t know where to start with food…
  • You’ve tried diabetes cookbooks and meal plan apps and nothing has stuck…
  • You want a clear, simple plan that uses real food from a real supermarket…
  • You don’t want to count carbs, go keto, or feel like you’re being punished for your diagnosis…
  • You want something based on real clinical guidance, not someone’s personal opinion on the internet…

This is NOT for you if…

  • You’re looking for a complete medical education on type 2 diabetes. This is a practical cooking guide, not a clinical textbook…
  • You have type 1 diabetes. UNSPIKED was written specifically for type 2…
  • You’ve been managing your diabetes for years and are looking for advanced dietary strategies. This is built for the first 30 days, not advanced management…

Stop Googling at midnight. Start cooking with a plan.

You’ve been confused long enough. You’ve Googled enough. You’ve bought enough things that didn’t work.

UNSPIKED is the clear, practical, clinically grounded plan you’ve been looking for.

All three downloads. Instant access. $27 one time.
