The book is half explanation and half cookbook. The diet is simple and easy to follow. My doctor put it this way: "No sugar, no white potatoes, no white bread, no white pasta, and no white rice." With that advice, I was able to keep my Type II diabetes under control without medication.

The book contains good advice and a logical explanation. The diets differs from similar diets by including milk, butter, and fats. It excludes white rice, potatoes, and pasta. As in the case of most diets the book includes testimonials without hypothesis based clinical studies.

By following the advice in this book, I was able to forget about measuring, weighing, counting fat grams, and counting calories. I put away my diabetic charts and graphs. I simply learned which foods to eat and not eat to control my Type II diabetes.

pretty basic stuff in these days of low-carb madness, but well presented and simple to follow.
