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.
Forward of Mastering Diabetes —-“Cyrus and Robby know diabetes inside and out, having dealt with it personally and having throughly researched the published literature. They are experts, and they will guide you step by step. Soon, you will have the confidence of knowing you are on the right path. You will the results in how you feel, and you will confirm these benefits in your laboratory tests.
Let me encourage you to read this book from cover to cover, to put its power to work, and to share it with others who could benefit from this life-changing new approach.”
