I got amazing results in 3 weeks! 5 out of 5
Recently found out that my fasting glucose level was 101 ml and my total cholesterol was 320. I got this book hoping to reduce my glucose level and got a lot more than I expected. All I did was following the eating principals in this book and exercised 5x a week. As a result, my fasting glucose went from 101 ml (prediabetic score) to 80 ml (normal score). In addition, my total cholesterol went from 320 to 188! My LDL went from 220 to 121 and my HDL went up. My triglycerides went from 188 to 58. I really could not believe the dramatic change in my overall lab work as a result of reading and implementing the material in this book. I highly recommend this book to anyone that wants to improve their health!
eye opening 5 out of 5
I am about half way through this book and have already learned a great deal about what is in our food, how it affects us, and what foods should be avoided. This book also keeps me focused on my goals. There is encouragement through short stories that are inspiring. you do not have to be diabetic or pre-diabetic to get practical use from this book. I highly recommend this book.
scared straight 4 out of 5
I bought this book because my husband was in complete denial of his situation. BMI of 35 but unwilling to admit to being over weight. He was very athletic when he was younger and look good and was fit at 220lb. Now at 45 and 235 with no exercise for years he is in danger. His father is a diabetic ampute. In fear for his health I got him this book. In 3 weeks he's down 10 lb is on the cardio machine or lifting every day. His blood work is already better. As scientist we both like detailed well research information. This book delivers and even more importantly has a plan that is easy to implement. After all reading a bunch of facts can be over whelming and not lead to action. This book does both.
I do think it is a little sever on carb restrictions for long term use. Espcialy once your BMI and % body fat are healthy. The environment implications of every one on earth eating mostly meat and fresh veg. would be disasterous as they are finding out in China right now. The resorces used to make grain verus meat are unsustainable.
not too pleased with seller 3 out of 5
the book is fine but the shipping was terrible....took much too long to get it....the seller did not ship very fast.
Quality of life 5 out of 5
I was not diagnosed with Prediabetes. However I was inching towards borderline and I knew I was 60 Lbs overweight.
By reading and following the guidelines I have lost 30 Lbs in 2 months. I also have never eaten better. Both in quality and taste.
It is plus that I have never been a snack junkie or into fast food. Also a large bucket of balls and walking my little 3 par golf course has helped too.
Anyone who is serious about living life to the fullest can gain greatly from this book.
