The 8-Week Blood Sugar Diet by Michael Mosley - Paperback

Nice!

Mangio il decimo del zuchero che mangiavo prima. Questo dottore (ma non solo dottore) spiega molto bene il metabolismo del zuchero. Non dice di non mangiare mai del zucchero. Dice che ci sono delle situazioni nelle quali non si deve propriomangiare zucchero. Non toglie speranze ma dà buone ragioni. E quello che dice si può verificare nel benessere che si sente. (Non sono diabetica e dunque il mio problema non era drammatico come il suo però non riuscivo a controllare il zuchero. Adesso la situazione è sotto controllo quasi sempre.

This is a must read book , it has helped many people who I know to get back good health by following this diet

Etant Diabetique, j'essaye de perdre du poids pour mieux régir mon diabete. Je crois que ce livre va beaucoup m'aider

Four weeks in and I have lost 5.3kg, got my fasting blood sugar down below 5.0, blood pressure down from 150/90 to nearer 110/65 and haven't felt hungry once! To be honest, I can hardly believe it but the scales don't lie. I have been type II diabetic for 10 years and decided to take control at last four weeks ago but thought it would be difficult to stick to 800 calories a day and abandon the heavy carb load that has been my mainstay for years. The four week menu plan is useful but the calorie-counted recipes are a doddle to follow, quick to prepare and satisfying as well as tasty.Psychologically, it is easier to begin the diet knowing it is time-limited. I can do anything for 8 weeks, surely! Once you have followed it for a day or two it begins to dawn on you that you are not actually hungry between meals and are truly satisfied after each meal. Thereafter, it is just a habit and a new way of life. My other half and I have combined it with the equally interesting Fast Exercise and are assuming that this is also helping. I loathe exercise in all its manifestations so this is quite a challenge for me.My main criticism is that this diet is only for the relatively well-to-do person with easy access to all the ingredients. You could not live in a remote village (or even some small towns) on a restricted income and hope to follow this. Perhaps Michael Mosley could produce a follow-up for people on benefits with no access to a decent supermarket! I am quite happy to find substitutes if the pantry does not yield the precise ingredients and enjoy preparing food from scratch having always done so but I am well aware I'm in a privileged position.However, this approach certainly seems to work well and the scientific background is useful and interesting.UpdateAt the end of eight weeks I had lost 8.5kg and blood pressure had dropped dramatically. A few weeks later I had my annual diabetic review and hurrah! I am now "resolved". HBA1C down well into normal range, bloods all within normal range for healthy 20-year old, blood pressure also within range for healthy 20-year old. Weight loss 10kg so far and a few more kg to go. Eating habits dramatically changed, for the better I hope. This is now a way of life.
