Diabetes Unpacked: Just Science and Sense. No Sugar Coating

I have been doing research on the medical profession and the health of America for the last six or seven years so none of this was a surprise to me. If the travesty that is our medical system and state of health in this country is of interest to you, this will probably be interesting too. All of the people who have opinions in this book are very well known and astute.

I’m an MD. I’ve been recommending low carb diets for quite 25 years and measuring blood glucose before and after eating to learn how food would affect peoples health.This book not only endorses my perspective on eating LC healthier and higher fats, but it expands a lot my perspective, including finding how deep flawed is the “nutritional un-science” we, doctors and people alike, to be misdirected by the very health professionals that should be guiding us to a more plenty and fulfilling lives with no meds in the horizon.As a loved writer and mentor frequently chuckles: “high cholesterol is not a statin deficiency illness” and “there is no way that exercise would cure a dietary illness”.

Received my book faster than expected. Was in even better condition than expected. Appreciated the note enclosed thanking me for my purchase and the offer of a % off my next purchase.

This is the best book on diabetes I have read and I have read many. If I had had this book to read when I was first diagnosed I could have turned my blood sugar around. Bottom line: if you have insulin resistance or are a type II diabetic you cannot handle carbohydrates so stop eating them!

I couldn't put this book down.Finally the truth emerges about what happens when millions of people eat as people never have eaten before for millions of millions of years.The dreadful toll of the high-carb-low-fat lifestyle and "foods" urged upon the world since the 1970s is revealed through this book, and it's unforgettable. The costs are unfathomable. How will the world cope?Thank you Dr. Noakes and supporters.

Ten Doctor/Scientists and Five science writers review whatmodern science actually DOES KNOW about The Brain-Body connectionand the development of chronic diseases. (15 Authors)Spoiler alert- Much of the information is NOT what you've told to believe.An Absolute MUST read for anybody who wants to understand how their brain and body work

Reading this book inspired me to go on low carb diet. No rice, potatoes and bread for three months; eating mostly vegetables and avoiding sugary drinks and desserts of any kind. Combining this with daily walks and 3-times a week visit to the gym, I already lost 30 pounds since and still going. My a1c went down from 7.1 to 6.0.

Very informative and practical, although didn’t actually mention what exact foods to eat and what to avoid. The section on non alcoholic fatty liver was most interesting as I have raised readings and Dr doesn’t seem to know what is causing it.Recommended for anyone with diabetes who wants to get rid of it.

A very interesting book that challenges conventional dietary advice, much of which seems to have been based on assumption and making the evidence fit the theory. I was impressed by how some contributors challenged these theories at great cost to their careers and personal lives.As well as the diabetes question, the articles examine the possibility that high carbohydrate diets might be detrimental to other medical conditions.

This book makes perfect sense of not only Diabetes, but also how your body reacts to what you eat and drink. For me it just confirmed what I already thought, and it helped me to explain my thinking to my partner. The book is quite science heavy, but it needs to be to get the points across. You can pick and chose the chapters to read, so if one chapter is too heavy going, move onto the next as all chapters explain the same thing, but in different ways and with different case studies.I don't have Diabetes, and armed with this book, I'm fairly confident that I will never have Type 2 Diabetes.

I have three diabetic friends, and after reading this book, I will be doing my utmost to persuade them to follow the High Fat Low Carb diet. It makes perfect sense. How can high carbs (which turn almost instantly into glucose in the blood) be good for anyone struggling with high/erratic glucose levels, it just doesn't make sense! There are case studies too, where people on the high fat low carb diet find their bloods far more stable, and even coming back down to normal levels. If you're diabetic, PLEASE read and think about this. What you've been doing almost certainly isn't working that well, try this, you can always go back to high carbs (but you won't!).

This book constrains a selection of essays that challenge the conventional medical view of how diabetes should be managed. Some are written by people who have reversed their Type2 diabetes, other by people with Type1 who by choice of diet no longer get hypos (low blood sugar), while maintaining normal BG levels. Yet other essays are by doctors and researcher showing that what they were told at medical school is not the complete picture.I truly hope with within a few years there would be no need for anyone to read this book, but at present, it is a GREAT introduction to modern thinking on diabetes, both for doctors and people who have diabetes themselves.If you are looking for a book that explains how to reverse Type2 with the science set out in a logical way, see  The Diabetes Code: Prevent and Reverse Type 2 Diabetes NaturallyThe Diabetes Code: Prevent and Reverse Type 2 Diabetes Naturally

The people that wrote this book are the sort of people who should be handed out gongs by the Queen, not overpaid celebs who don't care about anything but themselves!This is written by some of the best minds in the world regarding diabetes control. Excellent!
