The Diabetes Weight-Loss Cookbook: A life-changing diet to prevent and reverse type 2 diabetes

Product Information

I’m not keen on books by people who “have seen the light”. Unfortunately Science is not religion and anecdotes are not evidence. At the end of the day “a calorie is a calorie is a calorie”, so to loose weight you need to eat less/consume more. This is what is certain at the moment, for the rest the low-fat vs the low-carb groups are still bashing each other and for us normal people there is no easy answer. You need to follow a diet that’s easy for you. I can’t say anything on diabetes (but consider these are anecdotes, again science is not ONE paper, nor a bunch). I believe we have eaten our way into this epidemic of diabetes and obesity and that we can eat our way out of it’ Dr David Unwin from his Foreword

By suggesting homemade alternatives to kids’ favourite foods, not only can your children enjoy the things all their friends are eating, but by making some subtle changes, they can enjoy them without risking blood sugar spikes.

Sharon, tester on ITV's Save Lose Weight The Caldesi dad suffers form celiac disease, so kudos to Kati that invented a new way of cooking to help him. Will it help you? It depends, I found very few recipes vaguely interesting. Mostly were “no, why?” (And no, the pictures did not help.) But I don’t suffer from celiac disease (I have a couple of friends who do, so I will be trying something I believe). Moreover, some of the ingredients don’t seem to be that common (in a local supermarket, I’m sure you’ll find them online).

So what is said here is either not evidence-based medicine (yet) nor anything new (the chapter on moving more and how). What about the recipes?
