As someone with Insulin Resistance, I had high hopes for this book. Sadly, it wasn't all that. The diet they prescribe is almost the same at the South Beach Diet, or any other low-fat, low-carb diet. There is suffice science and explanation given as to why they prescribe the diet they do, and it makes sense (and seems accurate according to the other things I've read). However, it wasn't anything new or different from all the other low-carb / low-glycemic index advice. I thought the show more supplement section had promise, but would most certainly do additional research before gobbling down handfuls of supplements. Over all, I would recommend this book, but only in conjunction with other works and a doctor's advice. show less
A very interesting read with good nutritional insight into the modern diet and foods that contribute to many health issues, as well as quality suggestions for healthier options that relieve symptoms and sometimes even heal the body. As someone who's prediabetic and a long time sufferer of allergies (airborne and food) and asthma, I'm anxious to make some dietary and supplement changes and see if it helps.
