Will save your life…no lie…with updates
5 year update: 127 lb weight loss (now stable here). All other numbers still in the same zones as the 2 year update. BMI is now 19 down from almost 38 at the start of this journey.You won’t get any of this info supplied by Barnard & Fuhrman from your doctors who are still doing pretty much nothing other prescribing medications and telling your to exercise more and lose weight. It’s more than that to reverse this lifestyle condition.A recent study found that more than 90% of the 500 million T2 diabetics in the world weren’t receiving the information that they needed to make the profound lifestyle changes that could save their health (from ScienceDaily, May 21, 2021, “Vast under-treatment of diabetes seen in global study.”, Michigan Medicine, University of Michigan). What’s worse is that big pharma never wants you to have the information supplied by Barnard & Fuhrman.Recently read an interesting SCIENCE review of how making all the changes advocated by Drs. Barnard & Fuhrman within the first 5 years of a T2 diabetes diagnosis, especially losing the weight, adding regular exercise and changing your diet, will give you a greater than 70% chance of reversing your T2 diabetes. No pharmaceuticals needed, no loss of body parts, no blindness, only great health for the rest of your long natural life. Own it and live it.2 year update: 91 lb weight loss (effortless still), A1C is 4.7, blood glucose at recent check-up was 85. Cholesterol at 118, HDL’s at 82 and LDL’s 59. BMI is 20.Oh and my age? It’s prehistoric at 60+. Based on my blood work, the medical team classified me as a 20 something. Wow. I was so ignorant until I started this journey and my entire body changed as a result of following this regimen.Here’s a radical thought. If my bloodwork says that I’m healthy, shouldn’t insurance rate classes be based on data and not age discrimination? You know, a fair and equitable health insurance system based solely on, golly, health? Just sayin’.My doctor officially removed the type 2 diabetes diagnosis from my medical record. Do I miss anything? Yah, the prospect of blindness, kidney failure and limb loss if I didn’t own my diagnosis and get serious. This is real medicine instead of profiteering to feed some big pharma fat cat who’d rather watch us die young as free lab rats than actually get well. No thank you & FTS.6 month update as a vegan: Weight loss = 63 lbs (effortless, btw), median blood glucose was 243 now 105, A1C was 10.3 and now it’s 5.5. It’s science, period. Reversed my diagnosis. Even the medical team can’t believe it; they’ve read and recommend these books to their patients.Even if you’re young and healthy, BUY THIS BOOK. As you age, it will save your life, literally.This book is based on SCIENCE, not pseudoscience. Want to live long & prosper? BUY THIS BOOK.Want to prevent or reverse type 2 diabetes, heart disease and virtually all (if not all) of the lifestyle diseases? BUY THIS BOOK.Want to lose weight, stay thin and feel the best that you’ve ever felt in your life? BUY THIS BOOK.Want to have a healthy body and a sharp mind without pharmaceuticals or a medical intervention, e.g.. Lipitor or a gastric bypass? BUY THIS BOOK.I see that the self-proclaimed, smarty pants ‘experts’ bash this diet as incomplete or containing too much soy. Seriously, you have access to the web or you wouldn’t be on Amazon. Buy Dr. Barnard’s nutrition guide for clinicians (used to be part of med school training) if you think that this vegan diet is somehow lacking and figure it out.Read this book more carefully. There are soy substitutes like TVP, white beans and other vegetable milks like rice or almond milks. Don’t eat so much soy if you don’t like it. Dr. Barnard provides a ton of protein alternatives in the form of other beans and grains. BTW, I never knew about soy yogurt. It’s delicious and tastes just like milk-based yogurts.Lastly, this book doesn’t pretend to be a vegan cookbook. It’s only a start and lays out the plant based food pyramid, which is critical to understand how to eat plant-based and be nutritionally sound.Want more vegan variety? Search Amazon for some amazing vegan cookbooks. With all of the vegan possibilities (we love eastern Indian food), you’re not going to miss a single animal protein in your diet. OK, we miss the incredible edible egg, but we prefer our health more.Then there are the negative reviews because this lifestyle change is, in many reviewers’ estimations as ‘too hard’. Hmmm… We’re guessing that these people want someone to do it for them so that they don’t have to do the work to save themselves.Bad news: only you can save yourself. You have a choice; spend the rest of your life with diseases that will make your world smaller and smaller as your health declines or transform your life with the wake-up call of your diagnosis.Time to say good-bye to all of the over-indulgence, every last molecule of it. You’re right, no more cheese, meat, fish – every source of animal proteins and fats, processed foods, refined sugars and lack of exercise; it’s killing you. There’s no going back and no cheating if you want a disease free or more manageable life. Quick survey – who actually likes to live in pain? Show of hands…no one? Thought so.Dr. Barnard lays it out from the data of his clinical studies and others; you can either get well as a vegan or fail by following the current AHA and ADA guidelines that allow for animal proteins and fats. Your diseases mean that there is no longer any middle ground. It’s cut & dried; the data reveal all.Wake up, stop whining, buck up & own it. But hey, it’s your life…These easy to follow, tried & true, tasty meal and exercise plans reversed my type 2 diabetes and saved my life. There are so many great vegan cookbooks out there that we don’t miss the non-vegan world. I also discovered that I had to educate the institutionalized medical diabetic ‘industry’ along the way because, as Dr. Barnard shows again and again in his clinical studies, it’s either a vegan way of life with exercise or nothing if you want to improve your health permanently.Bottom line is that you are what you eat. My numbers do all the talking. Period.Thank you, Dr. Barnard!

Excellent diet! This is a must read for doctors and nurse practitioners and anyone diagnosed with Diabetes!
My husband was told a few months ago that he was borderline diabetic and was looking at having to go on medication for diabetes for the rest of his life. So I started looking around to see what we could do to avoid him having to support Big Pharma for the rest of his life. (And not knowing what side effects these medications would have on his body.)So I stumbled upon this book and started reading. Then I bought the book and gave it to him to read. Lightbulb time! He got it. And wow, did he ever focus on this diet. Since early April (it’s now almost July 1) he has lost almost 25 lbs – about 2 lbs a week – by sticking to this diet. He never feels hungry like he did on other diets and yet the lbs have melted away. People who haven’t seen him in a while keep telling him he looks “better than ever” “20 years younger”. But the best part is that he FEELS great. His knees have stopped hurting. There are fewer aches and pains all around and he has more energy.His doctor has been amazed at the results. Yep.Now that I’ve told you all of the plusses, here’s the negative side. And it’s not terrible. But, it does require you to rethink cooking. And being more creative in what you cook because there are no fats, oils, meat or poultry in this diet. (We do cheat every so often and have a small piece of fish.) It’s a vegan diet, no question about that. It forces you to read labels and carefully think about what you are putting in your mouth.But if you’re lazy and just want to pop a pill for the rest of your life, then you don’t need to bother reading this book. If you want to take control of your body, then read this book and be amazed at the results. Even if my husband does at some point have to go on diabetic medicine (the genetic cards are stacked against him), we’d stay with this diet because we know it is so much better for us.

vegetarian nonfat diet
When I first read the book I was suspicious if this type of diet would work. The diet does work and you can lose weight. It requires extreme diligence. If you track the loss on a chart you will see a 2-3 ounce daily loss. I did use 30 minutes of exercise 5-6 days of the week. When there were occasional stops in weight loss I tweeked the diet.The book does have weak points.You can eat a lot of vegetables and fiber. You friends will not enjoy doing this type of diet with you. At least that is what I have found.Although, there are chapter notes at the end of the book it is written in the style of a novel. The supporting data and its authors should be mentioned more directly.There are other earlier people who wrote with this idea in mind. They are not directly mentioned.There is a lack of discussion of technical points, such as the HbA1c and blood sugars exact meaningfulness with respect to exactly what the numbers mean.Overall, this is a good introduction for beginners concerned with diabetes. You should use a physician to run necessary blood and urine tests and interprete them.For those who require a more technical discussion, I would recommend Tne China Study by Campbell and Campbell. This approach is from epidemiology and laboratory studies.

Fantastic book
Fantastic book. Great Doctor.

Zwar stört mich immer bei Ernährungsempfehlungen das etwas extreme: tu etwas nie! tu es immer! Aber davon mal abgesehen ist dieses Buch eine wundervolle Beschreibung der richtigen menschlichen Ernährung, nicht nur für Diabetiker. Ich selbst bin Ernährungsberaterin und habe trotzdem noch Zusammenhänge erfahren, die mir neu waren. Er beschreibt die biochemischen Vorgänge im Körper so anschaulich, dass es jeder versteht. Wer halbwegs Englisch kann, der wird keine Probleme haben, das Buch zu lesen. Es ist kein Fachchinesisch. Viele Aha – Erlebnisse warten hier auf den Leser. Und : es wird endlich mal mit diesem Low Carb Blödsinn aufgeräumt!!!Das hier ist meine erste Rezension, aber dieses Buch verdient es, dass hier mehr Meinungen stehen.

My best friend was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes two months ago and I’ve researched tons of books, web sites and other information about this condition in order to help him.Unfortunately, official medicine seem uninterested in healing people with diabetes (both types), other than keeping their sugar levels low with medications in attempt to prolong their life. It seems that nothing has changed in treating this condition since the times when my grandfather had it. As a result of such “treatment” patients only further develop their insulin resistance (with type 2) and require more and more different medicines over time. I have not heard stories of people being completely healed by such drugs, quite on contrary, there are plenty of unfortunate stories of people losing sight, kidneys, limbs and even dying.At the same time there is a simple way to improve your condition by simply eliminating products that caused diabetes in the first place – all animal products including fish and dairy, refined oils, sugars, alcohol and junk food. Replace it with vegetables, quality whole carbohydrates (yes) – like brown rice, quinoa, buckwheat; exercise daily, use natural and inexpensive supplements; fast, if you can; and you will start feeling better day by day.There is no-one out there who can heal you, but yourself. And you have everything to be healthy. All you need is the right direction, and this book gives you enough information to find it. It is written by a doctor who dared to experiment and he discovered a very simple way to cure diabetes with incredibly high success level.While I would urge you not to stop there and continue your research, this book is a very good start, in fact in has everything to change your life and get you on the road to recovery.Coming back to my friend, he followed a program we developed for him, which is very similar to the one described in this book, for two months and last week his analysis came completely clean – Hemoglobin A1c 5.8, glucose 5.5. Of course it is not the reason to revert back to a previous diet, rather a motivation to go even further.If you or your friend/relative have diabetes, especially type 2, you need to buy this book and give it a try. I do hope it will work for you same way it did for my friend. It’s all in your hands.UPDATE: It’s been 6 months since my friend was diagnosed with diabetes and about 5 months since he adopted a diet similar to the one described in this book (I think a bit more advanced) and he is now virtually free of any symptoms – his blood sugar is always normal, and he feels less tired and in general much better than before. He only lost about 1 1/2 stone (9 kg) but considering it was done without any restrictions on food intake (he’s a bit of an eater so it’s hard to change) it’s a good result.If you or your relatives or friends have diabetes, please buy this book and research further but most important, stop eating foods that made you ill, and you too can become diabetes-free. It’s not a miracle, it’s only natural to live a healthy and happy life. Good luck.

I am truly grateful for discovering this approach. An alternative approach for diabetes exists thankfully. I am a family physician and like most I believed that once you have diabetes you will land up on medicines and these will keep spiralling upwards. My dad developed diabetes a few years back and was resistant to the idea of medI cations. He did try lifestyle changes but could not sustain and finally we started medicines. Even on metformin the sugars appeared resistant. For almost 6 -8 months they remaibed stuck. As a physician I knew this meant a change in dose or drug. But as he wanted to avoid medicines we tried once again with no medications and following this book wholeheartedly. The guidance is simple to follow and you can fairly easily customise to suit the cuisine you follow. We are vegetariàns so it’s slightly easier. I had to prepare weekly meal plans following these principles but using our homecooked Indian food. So you would need to get used to that some or take help from someone who knows better. The recipes in the book are more Western.Coming to the results. His blood sugars dropped over 20 points in 8 weeks with no medications. This had not happened in a few years now even with medications. He lost 5 kg of weight over the same period. He is much more conscious of what he eats now and about walking as exercise. And he just said how he feel much more energetic at age 64 and willing to take on more work.Thank you, thank you, thank you for returning his health and vitality. Giving us hope. Showing us an alternative healthier approach.I am more keen than ever to take this forward with more patients through my practice. To give diabetics hope and alternative healthier approach. And to also use diet to prevent lifestyle diseases.I am also guiding a few acquaintances on weight loss based on Dr. Barnard’s program. I like that these are scientifically proven principles, there is absolutely no guilt or judgement attached. It is simple to follow, and the best part, you are never required to go hungry!Thank you for sharing this with the world. God bless!

Excellent livre, très instructif… Les médecins et chercheurs americains ont découvert le secret pour renverser le diabète, pas seulement le traiter avec les médicaments… Il faut reconnaître, qu’en France nous sommes en retard de 35 ans par rapport à leur connaissances, ou est-ce que renverser ce fléau n’intéresse pas les autorités ? Nos médecins devraient continuer à apprendre et élargir leur connaissances après leurs études à l’Université… !!! Mais les plupart se laissent couler douce… en ayant leur clientèle assurée, puisque le diabète progresse à grand pas !!! Tous les diabétiques devraient prendre connaissance du contenu de ce livre pour sauver leur vies des complications inéluctables … Bravo pour les médecins qui oeuvrent pour sauver les vies humaines !!!Ça mériterait une bonne traduction en français !!!

Para quem tem diabetes, e para os que querem prevení-la, este livro é leitura mais que recomendada. Discute, por uma visão científica, a necessidade da mudança dos padrões alimentares, enfatizando a adoção de uma dieta vegana e natural. São colocados, de forma elucidativa, os 3 pilares do programa: excluir produtos de origem animal, sem gorduras ou óleos e de baixo índice glicêmico. Com receitas e dicas para a transição alimentar, considero uma fonte de informação indispensável para pacientes e profissionais de saúde. Embora seja em inglê, a compreensão é fácil e agradável.
