The Diabetes Diet: Dr. Bernstein's Low-Carbohydrate Solution

I have had type 1 diabetes since I was 17, I'm now 29 years old. My endocrinologist prescribed the Atkins diet for me a long time ago, but I never listened completely and never stuck to it faithfully. This has all changed recently where I decided I must lose weight and by miracle, stumbled upon Dr. Berstein's books recommended on the Atkins forums for diabetics.This book and diet is very close to Dr. Atkins' work, however it's written FOR Diabetics, both Type 1 and 2!! It has all the details I wanted to know which I couldn't find in Dr. Atkins' book for type 1 diabetic on a low-carb diet.This diet and the low-carb approach WORKS!! I've been on an insulin pump for over 10 years, after reading Atkins and Bernstein's books, and switching to a low-carb diet, my insulin use has been cut in HALF, that's 50% less insulin in 1 week! My energy levels are through the roof, I took up exercise and I never felt this great and energetic. I've been on the diet for over a month now and lost a lot of weight!Just don't forget to drink lots of water with this and you'll be on your way to a healthy, happy life! It really does work!! My LDL cholesterol has fallen while HDL has slightly increased which my doctors finds great!BUY this book if you're diabetic or know anyone who suffers from this disease or is overweight or pre-diabetic! It will save their life. (It does take dedication and will power at first, but you're really investing in yourself and your life, and protecting yourself from horrible complications which arise from uncontrolled diabetes and the FDA recommended high-carb diet!!).

Dr. Bernstein has performed an amazing public service in the compilation of this book. His odyssey dates back many decades when he realized the advice given by his doctors to control his Type I diabetes was wrong and causing his health to deteriorate. (Type I is the more serious one, where the body produces no insulin at all.) This was a time when home insulin testing became available, and he launched an incredible personal voyage of discovery to determine just which foods were raising his blood sugar levels and which were safer to consume. It involved testing these levels every half hour at times. Applying this knowledge to his own diet, his health began improving as he got his diabetes under control. In reading this account, one begins to wonder just what this poor man can consume, as it seemed most foods were problematical. Another amazing aspect of this investigation is that, despite the fact nothing like this had ever been done, he could not get his findings published as a layman. Incredibly, he then entered medical school, and with an MD after his name was able to interest a publisher. Subsequently, he opened a private practice as a diabetes specialist. I feel Dr. Bernstein's findings would benefit everyone, diabetic or not, as you learn which foods need to be decreased or eliminated in our diets and which should be emphasized.

This book holds its own merit in both content and practical application, but I would recommend it be purchased together with Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution!My review of the latter (listed below) pretty much covers all that needs to be said, however, I do find that The Diabetic Diet is fundamental when implementation of the diet is the main focus."I have been a diabetic since I was two summing up a total of 39 years of managing this chronic disease 24/7 to date. Until last year, I had been able to dodge the bullet of complications, not so much because of good control, but rather a mix of the benefits resulting from the constant efforts to do so together with good DNA and a tad of luck I suppose.Nonetheless, the years seem to be catching up with me and all of a sudden 'things' I didn't even have a name for started happening. The two main ones were sudden gain of weight and difficulty in losing it (over a year trying, following the prescribed diet and exercising regularly) as well as a diminished mobility of my left shoulder. All of a sudden, I was suspected of having insulin-resistance!It was not until I came across Dr.Bernstein's book (in a very round-about way, I should add: Brazil >Sweden>USA) that I was able to rethink my whole understanding of what it meant to live well (key word here is well) with DM. I finally had a name for my physical affliction (it's called a 'frozen shoulder') and in 20 days of applying his diet principles I dropped almost 4kg (roughly 8.81849 lbs) - and without even trying. Really! I even stopped going to the gym in order to avoid additional hypoglycemic reactions! :)So, like I stated initially, Dr. Bernstein's understanding of DM (1&2) and his concept applied to long-living with this 'chronic state of health' has revolutionized my daily health care and has restored my hope of actually successfully reaching the goal of living a long and joyousness life!"I recommend these two books to anyone who is serious about recovering their health - diabetics or not!Daniela.

One of the Best Books I have ever read in my lifetime! Am so grateful I found this Fantastic Author. Started taking his guidance with food choices immediately. So nice to see the fat melting AWAY now each day & Not Feeling Hungry! I will be buying & eating the Healthy Foods he lists in this book for the rest of my life. Makes grocery shopping so easy now! No more guessing what to buy anymore at all :)

Zunächst mal: Ich selbst habe seit 17 Jahren Diabetes Typ 1. Nachdem mein Privatleben einige Turbulenzen erfuhr , spielte auch mein Zucker verrückt. Da mein Arzt mir nicht helfen konnte, suchte ivh selbst nach einer Lösung.Ich stieß auf Dr. Bernstein. Und stellte meine Ernährung entsprechend seiner Bücher um. Innerhalb eines halbes Jahres sank mein Langzeitwert um zwei Prozentpunkte. Es hilft also wirklich.Schade ist nur, dass alle Bücher auf Amerikaner ausgelegt sind. Beginnend mit den Maßangaben (die kann man ja noch umrechnen) bis hin zu Produktempfehlungen. Diese Produkte gibt es aber nicht in Deutschland und ein Import ist auch nicht immer möglich
