The instant New York Times bestseller.
A groundbreaking method to master all types of diabetes by reversing
insulin resistance.
Current medical wisdom advises that anyone suffering from diabetes or
prediabetes should eat a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet. But in this
revolutionary book, Cyrus Khambatta, PhD, and Robby Barbaro, MPH, rely
on a century of research to show that 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 extraordinary and 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 of carbohydrate-rich whole
foods 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: On the Mastering Diabetes Method,
you will never go hungry.
With more than 30 delicious, filling, and nutrient-dense recipes and
backed by cutting-edge nutritional science, Mastering Diabetes will help
you maximize your insulin sensitivity, attain your ideal body weight,
improve your digestive health, gain energy, live an active life, and
feel the best you've felt in years.
