Book jacket — Current medical wisdom advises that anyone suffering from diabetes or prediabetes should eat a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet [aka Keto Diet]. But in this revoluntionary book, Cyrus Khambatta, PhD and Robby Barbaro, MPH, rely on a century of research to show that this advice is misguided. While it may improve short-term blood glucose control, such a diet also increases the long-term risk for chronic diseases like cancer, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, chronic kidney disease and fatty liver disease.

The revolutionary solution is to eat a low-fat plant-based whole-food diet, the most powerful way to reverse insulin resistance in all types of diabetes : type 1, type 1.5, type 2, prediabetes and gestational diabetes.

As the creators of the extraordinarily effective Mastering Diabetes Method, Khambatta and Barbaro lay out a step-by-step plan proven to reverse insulin resistance— the root cause of blood glucose variability — while improving overall health and maximizing life expectancy. Armed with more than 800 scientific references and drawing on more than 36 years of personal experience living with type 1 diabetes themselves, the authors show how to eat large quantities for carbohydrate-rich whole food like bananas, potatoes,, and quinoa while decreasing blood glucose, oral medication and insulin requirements. They also provide life-changing advice on intermittent fasting and daily exercise and offer tips on eating in tricky situations, such as restaurant meals and family dinners. Perhaps best of all: With the Mastering Diabetes Method, you will never go hungry.

Book jacket — Glucose or blood sugar, is a tiny molecule in our body that has a huge impact on our health. It enters our bloodstream through the starchy or sweet foods we eat. Ninety percent of us suffer from too much glucose in our system — and most of us don’t know it.

The symptoms? Cravings, fatigue, infertility, hormonal issues, acne, wrinkles… And over time, the development of conditions like type 2 diabetes , poly cystic ovarian syndrome, cancer, dementia and heart disease.

Drawing on cutting -edge science and her own intrepid research, biochemist Jessie Inchauspe offers ten simple, surprising hacks to help you balance your glucose levels and reverse your symptoms — without going on a diet or giving up the foods you love. For example:

• How eating foods in the right order will help you lose weight effortlessly

• What secret ingredient will allow you to eat dessert and still go into fat-burning mode

• What small change to your breakfast will unlock energy and curb your cravings

As Dr. Casey Means explains in this groundbreaking book, nearly every health problem we face can be explained by how well the cells in our body create and use energy.
