If you are a type 2 diabetic and are having to take drugs and insulin to control your blood sugar levels, then you really need to read the Atkins Diabetes Revolution. Your diet may be intensifying your diabetes and also your risk for heart disease.
This book will explain how a diet high in carbohydrates can affect your health and present you with a healthy life style plan, which includes not only a good diet, but suggests exercise and supplements to guide you to a healthier life.
Atkins Diabetes Revolution
More than a program for living with diabetes, here is a groundbreaking approach to preventing, treating, and even reversing an American epidemic, based on the science of the doctor who invented the low-carb lifestyle and wrote the #1 New York Times bestseller Dr. Atkins’ New Diet Revolution.
The statistics are staggering. Thirteen million Americans have been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes; another 5.2 million don’t know that they have it. During the past thirty years the diabetes rate has tripled, and each year about 200,000 people die from complications of the disease.
As a respected physician and pioneer in the field of complementary medicine, Dr. Robert C. Atkins recognized early on that diabetes and obesity are twin epidemics, and that the way to reverse both is to permanently change the way people eat.
Much of the mainstream medical establishment continues to advocate the treatment of diabetes with insulin and other drugs, while recommending a diet high in carbohydrates including sugar, which raises your blood sugar. What you’ll learn from reading Atkins Diabetes Revolution is that rather than correcting your metabolism, such a diet can actually increase your risk of developing diabetes—and heart disease.
Atkins Diabetes Revolution presents a comprehensive lifestyle program, including diet, exercise, and nutrient supplementation. The book also contains meal plans, recipes, a fitness routine, and case studies. This revolutionary book, a fitting tribute to Dr. Atkins, tackles one of the greatest health challenges you and your family may ever face.
