Lotz of good info.......2007-07-27

There is alot of good information in this book. I haven't started applying any of it, so I cannot tell you about that. But, if good, well organized, useful information is what you are after...buy this book.

Book for Pre Diabetics/Diabetics.......2007-07-27

I am pre diabetic and appreciated the information I got from this book. My family has enjoyed the recipes tried so far. They also gave me ideas about how to change my existing favorites.

The Sugar Solution.......2007-07-18

It seems to be a never-ending battle. We start the day with the best of intentions. Today we are going to eat right, exercise, and control our stress. Then reality sets in. We wake up late (that stupid alarm didn't ring) to a chaotic mess of getting kids off to school on time (making sure that homework actually accompanies them). Our only aim at this point is to get to work before the boss notices. There's no time for a real breakfast, exercise, or a nice relaxing meditation session. Coffee and a donut will have to do as we drive through hectic traffic.

By midmorning, adrenaline and four cups of coffee have worn off and we are starting to feel drained. To make up time lost, we skip lunch or gobble down some fast food as we try to get caught up. With some food in our stomach's we finally feel back to normal. Unfortunately, this feeling is short lived and the day drags on.

We all know that we should do better. We all know that we should take the time to eat right, to exercise, and to reduce our stress. However, just getting through each day seems to take up all the energy we have.

The Sugar Solution reminds us that by taking care of ourselves each day we not only reduce the risk of countless life threatening diseases but we also increase our energy levels and abilities to cope with day to day stress. More importantly though, this book unravels the mysteries of carbohydrates and provides nutritional, exercise, and stress relief programs that fit into the average person's busy life.

Ganele a la glucosa.......2007-06-27

I bought this book for my older daughter, who is overweight. Much of the symptoms of her condition were detailed in the book. But the book is too long. Anybody trying to reduce and control weight wants fast results.
A book so big is not practical. Author should review and condense it, probably to less than half.

Great Book.......2007-06-04

This book taught me a lot of things about my body. I was never aware of my blood sugar levels, but now I recognize feelings I've always had - shaky, irritable - as low blood sugar. I've totally changed my diet b/c of this book, and I'm losing weight without being hungry. I'm sending my copy to a friend, and I've been telling a lot of people about it.

I really only read the first half or so. It gets a little repetitive, which is fine. That's the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars. You'll hit a section that appeals to your way of thinking. The message is the same throughout. It's not breathtaking, but it's full of staistics and information that will change the way you think. e.g. most Americans only get half the recommended amount of fiber in their diets.

I feel like reducing high glycemic index foods has ton a lot for me. I had a chronic cold/sinus infection for over 6 months that is gone. I feel more clear-headed. I'm able to resist my cravings for sweets, which is a big deal to me.

Get this book! It will turn your attitude around, and change your body and your life.

This book truly helps to understand why we have sugar cravings, how to curb those cravings and in the end result end up losing weight. I appreciate the information.

Quick, tasty meals!.......2007-05-25

I bought this book because I was looking for a cookbook that stressed nutrition. I purchased a few other cookbooks at the same time and this is by far my favorite. The book has a wide variety of delicious meals that have all been surprisingly quick and easy to prepare. Unlike many "health food" cook books, this book did not sacrifice taste to nutrition. Instead the recipies use nutritious ingredients in such a way that the flavors are enhanced and compliment each other.
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to focus on conforming to a healthy diet but still wants to enjoy their food!

The Sugar Solution CookBook Review.......2007-05-19

There are good and practical hints/sugestions in this book. We have not had the time yet to fully test out methods yet.

Sugar Solution cookbook.......2007-05-18

The information at the beginning of the book is great. It gives great tips for eating healthy and slimming down. I personnally, do not care for all of the recipes. They seem to be a bit more labor intensive than I expected and use ingredients not always on hand. A re-do of one's kitchen pantry is necessary to make sure you have on hand a lot of the ingredients.

This Book is Great!!.......2007-04-14

I use this on a daily basis to come up with new and healthy meal ideas that my whole family will enjoy. Not one of them has complained that they didn't like what I made. My kids scarfed up everything and even went back for 2nds! A true addition to any cooks collection, even if you're not watching your sugar. Fabulous!!

Dr. Bernstein's book is a very good resource.

He states he has been diabetic since age 12 and became a doctor to advocate for other diabetics. The book is very good guide for anyone facing this illness.

Newly Diagnosed Diabetic Looking For Information.......2007-08-23

This book takes all the 'pleasure' out of being a diabetic. It gives a good primer on the basics of diabetes. Then it departs from much of the convention of diabetes treatment in terms of diet. Basically, Dr. Bernstein advocates a diet devoid of almost all carbohydrates (he "hasn't had a piece of fruit in 40 years"). His advice is based on techniques he has refined over 40+ years and they have obviously worked very well for him, a Type 1 diabetic who went much of his early life improperly treated. That he is still alive today is a testament to his regimen's efficacy. However, it is a truly Draconian approach that essentially strips most food-based pleasure from your life. Also, he advocates regular, strenuous exercise to build muscles (building muscles reduces insulin resistance). He is less interested in aerobic exercise, although he acknowledges its cardiovascular benefits if practiced strenuously (not a jog, but a demanding pace that begins (on a treadmill) at a slope that exhausts you in 20 seconds, then lowering the slope and continuing, etc). As in the anerobic exercise, he warns against rest periods. The idea is only through pain do you build muscles including those of the heart. I found the book very informative, but his techniques very scary. As an almost 70-year old man, I'm not sure I'm equal to his demanding regimen. I bet it works; but I don't know how much pleasure you'll get from living all those extra years if you're constantly craving starches and rest.

Dr. Bernstein is GREAT!!!.......2007-08-23

Dr. Bernstein is a type 1 diabetic and had just about every sympton possible. He figured out the "diabetes code" and clearly explains how to control your diabetes. His cure is exactly opposite to that of the medical establishment. He was educated as an engineer, then became a medical doctor late in life. His book is designed to educate and not to impress how smart he is. Buy it.

Dr. Bernstein has researched and developed the most sensible approach to controlling blood sugar in both Type I and Type II diabetics that I have ever encountered.

My Little Girl Needs her Daddy.......2007-07-29

Unlike the ADA advice my doctor and the diabetes educators gave me, this book works.

I have normal blood sugars, my cholesterol and triglycerides are normal again, and I am no longer spilling protein in my urine.
I have lost 70 pounds and kept it off.
My A1C results at 4.8% are very much in the non-diabetic range.

Better than all that, I can feel my feet again.
I had diabetic neuropathy that made my feet numb and I did not even realize it before.

With my blood sugars staying between 80 and 100, the feeling has been returning to my feet and the numbness is fading.

Dr. B, my little girl will thank you when she is old enough to understand that you saved her daddy's life!

This book appears to be identical to the one that Prevention is bringing out on September 19, 2006. This 2004 edition is by Sari Harrar and Editors of Prevention, and the 2006 edition is by Ann Fannante (sp?) and the Editors of Prevention. The 2006 edition does not say 'revised' or 'updated' or anything like that. Furthermore, in the current edition of Prevention magazine, they have an article that mentions their "new" book with details from its program, but the article is by Sari Harrar!
Huh???
Sometimes I have "issues" with Prevention - but in general think they are a positive force in health-themed publications.
The earlier book by Sari Harrar, et al., is a good resource for a good health regimen.

Essential Book! for anyone Addicted to Sugar!!.......2006-07-25

I found this book to be a lifesaver. I was so addicted to sugar, and had become hypoglycemic, to the point where I was having seizures, if I didn't eat candy or sugar, the moment I started shaking and sweating profusely. I was hungry all the time, gaining weight daily it seemed like, tired all the time, and unable to concentrate. After reading this book, and following the steps for getting off the sugar and replacing it with healthy foods, that didn't let my sugar go up and down. I had no more seizures, lost weight like crazy, I have tons of energy now, and I no longer Crave Sugar 24 hrs a day, nor am I hungry all day long. I feel like I have a life again. Not to mention my risk aren't as high for being coming diabetic, which is what my Doctor told me I surely would have before. Not that I don't have a chance of still becoming one, but before it was a SURE THING.
I definetly recommend this book to anyone who struggles with sugar addiction, like I did. You will feel REBORN!

The same brain chemicals that are altered by antidepressant drugs are also affected by the foods we eat. According to addiction expert DesMaisons, many people, including those who are depressed, are "sugar sensitive." Eating sweets gives them a temporary emotional boost, which leads to a craving for still more sweets. The best way to keep these brain chemicals in the right balance and keep blood-sugar levels steady, she says, is through the dietary plan she describes in Potatoes Not Prozac. Her rules are fairly simple--eat three meals a day, eat proteins with every meal (especially those high in the amino acid tryptophan, which creates the calming neurotransmitter serotonin), and eat more complex carbohydrates, such as whole grains and, yes, potatoes. Not only will this make you less depressed, DesMaisons says, but it will also keep you from craving too much of the foods you shouldn't eat, making it a self-regulating system.

Book Description

Are You Sugar Sensitive?

Have you ever wondered why you just can't seem to say no to fattening foods, alcohol or troubling behaviors like overspending and overworking? The answer is not that you're lazy, self-indulgent or undisciplined. The problem lies in your body chemistry.

In her groundbreaking book, Potatoes Not Prozac, Kathleen DesMaisons, Ph.D., addictive nutrition expert, reveals that emotional troubles such as mood swings or depression often can't be fought by medication. Her radical new way of finding and maintaining mental and physical health offers instead a prescription for altering our eating habits. Millions of people are sugar-sensitive -- which means they have a special body chemistry that reacts in extreme ways to sugar and refined carbohydrates like white bread and pasta. DesMaisons reveals that these "comfort" foods actually provide just the opposite effect, triggering feelings of exhaustion, hopelessness and low self-esteem. What's worse, these foods don't stop our cravings for them -- they only make us want to go back for more.

Helping us to free ourselves from sugar dependency, DesMaisons explains how certain food dependent chemicals in the brain regulate our moods. Once we understand how these biochemicals react to what we eat -- or what we don't eat -- we are free to control our lives. Serotonin, beta-endorphins and blood sugar need to be kept in balance. We can achieve this balance by following DesMaisons's inexpensive, all-natural nutritional plan, which has resulted in a 92 percent success rate with recovering alcoholics, and emotional stability for the thousands of people she has treated in her practice.

In addition to food charts, questionnaires to determine your own sugar sensitivity, and accessible scientific lessons that explain your body chemistry, DesMaisons provides a straightforward seven-step plan to overcome your addictions. There is no regime of measurements or self-denial: you tailor the plan to your tastes and lifestyle. These steps are actually more liberating than any diet could be. You will no longer settle for the short-term relief from pain or problems that cookies or ice cream might give you. You will find the optimism, energy and high self-esteem you have craved for so long. Because DesMaisons is committed to her own recovery, she is a compassionate, skilled guide in navigating you through this process, one choice at a time. And what you learn in the end, she says, is that the process isn't about food at all. "As we come into balance, we can shape our own direction rather than being driven by biochemical circumstances. We feel empowered to make changes in our lives and to control what is happening to us. What seemed like a story about food is really a story about possibility." You can change your life with Potatoes Not Prozac.

Odd.......2007-07-02

There are some things that trouble me about this book, like push snacking to mealtime. Hum... and her idea of snacks is what sparks the whole sugar sensitivity process. I like Suzann Somers' book is better; she explains the carbs. This book just tells you to keep track of what you eat, when you eat and how you feel after eating whatever it is you eat. I think you should watch what you eat and you should know what you're eating. This book makes very few explanations about what each food is and how it helps your mind, except by saying eat protein and don't eat refined sugar.

This book and Natural Prozac changed how I look at food. In our sugar and caffiene addicted world where food is a commodity to be inhaled on the run, it's easy to lose perspective on what food is and how it affects us. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to balance their mood, improve how they feel and function during the day or stablize their sleeping habits.

I read this just recently, long after it came out, but after following it for a month, I have more energy, I'm not stuck in that numbing lethargy that was a sort of depression, and I've lost a little weight. This book is right on, and I highly recommend it.

I am addicted to sugar. I read this book and kept a journal of my eating habits. I stopped craving sugar, but now I'm fat. I've gone from my slender size 2-4 to a plump size 6 pushing size 8. There has to be a better way... I've got a Michelin tire around my waste that waddles when I walk... I think I need some alcohol to feel better. HA!

Book Description

FOR THOSE WHO SEARCH The program outlined in The Low Blood Sugar Handbook is for you. It is an optimum lifestyle not only for functional hypoglycemics (low blood sugar sufferers), but also for those suffering from premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and everyone else who desires a healthy and productive life.

Women who suffer from PMS often have low blood sugar. Once the blood sugar is stabilized, the PMS can be dealt with more effectively.

This book is written by low blood sugar sufferers rather than by a medical person since only sufferers have the insight into dealing with the everyday situations of low blood sugar. After working with hundreds of hypoglycemics, Edward and Patricia Krimmel have articulated the things that only sufferers can know. They give the clear, practical and complete advice you need for understanding and dealing with the everyday nitty- gritty of low blood sugar.

The chapters of the book deal with such practical matters as being able to identify if you have low blood sugar, what it is, how serious it is and what to do if you have the condition. The four dimensions of the KRIMMEL PROGRAM are: 1. Food ethic 2. Exercise 3. Fun & laughter 4. Sleep, rest & relaxation

A fifth dimension is found in chapters 5, 6, 8, and 9. The information is unique to this handbook. Only through the application of the fifth dimension, can the low blood sugar sufferer get total value from the other 4 dimensions.

Low blood sugar is a personal affair. Only through personal initiative can it be controlled. There is no medication or "cure all" for it. Only through the proper program and understanding your body chemistry can this condition be controlled.

If you're willing to spend enough time And put out enough effort You can solve every problem

out of date.......2006-09-04

This book was probably very important when it was published in 1992. But more than 10 years have passed, and the book is out of date. First, I find it suspicious that the authors blame hypoglycemia for 60 different symptoms. They take a "victim" attitude that everything unlikable in one's personality and habits can be blamed on one's hypoglycemia. I hardly find that to be the case in my own life. My bad temper is mine to conquer and not the "fault" of my hypoglycemia.

Second, the authors wrote this book before stevia was widely available as a hypoglycemia-safe, all-natural sugar substitute. I would love to find more information about stevia and recipes that include stevia.

Finally, this book was written before the glycemic index was widely understood. The New Glucose Revolution by Brand-Miller et al. will help one to learn the difference between low-glycemic index (gi) foods that will help to keep one's blood sugar stable and high-gi foods that will lead to the ups and downs of hypoglycemia.

The best treatment for Hypoglycemia.......2006-05-19

What an excellent book. Shame on me for not writing this review until now. I have been following the book since 2003 and it has changed my life dramatically. I can think and act very clearly and all my symptoms disappeared. Watch out, if you deviate from the program after starting it, symptoms will worsen. A must read for people with low blood sugar problems.

The best guide I've found yet!.......2006-04-23

I found I suffered from 49 of the 60 symptoms of LBS just in the last week. I've had this book since I was 6 months pregnant in 1996 and found out I had LBS, but never took the time to read it; until this last week while I was too sick to get out of bed.

One of the biggest things I suffer from is insomnia, no energy, headaches, irritability, mood swings, PAIN always, Super PMS, just to name a few. I read this book, followed the basic instructions, and found myself sleeping thru the night for the first time in years. This without taking a myraid of, natural mind you, medicines to help me get to sleep...I never stayed there! I always woke several times a night, couldn't get to sleep to begin with, one time I was awake for 7 days straight before crashing (usually it's 5 days)...that was harsh!

First day...just by dropping the bad things, eating every two hours, and directly before I go to bed; I had energy to get thru the day with spare (even my daughter mentioned it's nice to see you have energy to move for once...encouragement enough for me to keep at it). And then to be able to sleep mostly thru night...a huge start!

Where I went wrong...I never believed in eating past 6pm, I switched to water only, never ate snacks, and ate 2-3 meals a day; thinking this was the typical "healthy diet"...no wonder I felt horrilbe all the time. I avoided sugar like the plague knowing how I react to it along with most juices...I usually emmediately feel the impact after eating or drinking sucrose or fructose anything!

I've been searching for 3years, several Dr's later...and yes the typical prescriptions for depression, anxiety, etc...No they did not help...in the very least! What really gets me is, I've had the answers since 1996, and never took the time to read this book. I would never have been as bad as I managed to get if I read it when I bought it :( Recommendation: don't buy a book meant to help you and not read it emmediately ;)

I would highly recommend reading this book, if you have low blood sugar or someone you know and love does. It gives great insight to a little known, but highly dibilitating, condition...which wreaks havoc on the person who suffers, this is something that will never go away...once you get a grip on it, you can feel normal once again. It's a learning process that keeps going as well...I keep the book with me always.

As it turns out my Husband, two children, and I all have LBS...so
I will be doing a lot more learning, research, etc...to make all of our lives normal. A little hint, no two people are the same body chemistry, we all have our own reactions to different foods; so what works to raise your sugar to normal, may not work for the other family members as I've found out...it's a long journey to undertake, but they're well worth it!

I truely do hope this helps...it did me. I'm ordering extra copies now, as we speak, for my sister, my brother, and one for my Hubby to keep with him as a reference! Good luck!!!!

previous reviewer didn't get it, cause he doesn't have it!.......2006-01-28

The preceding reviewer obviously doesn't have LBS. Lucky for him. I love chocolate cake more than words can say, but I will fosake my love of sweets (or maybe it was addiction) to have a normal life.

God bless the Krimmel's for explaining what doctors don't get. The difference in how my son and I feel is infinitely worth the funny looking meals and constant monitoring!

I wasn't nuts, I have hypoglycemia, I'm better now.

My son wasn't a bad kid, he has hypoglycemia, he's better now.

This book could change your life. No joke.

Not as good as I thought it would be based on the reviews.......2005-12-02

This book was long winded and unreasonable with it's diet recommendations. For someone on a tight budget and who loves the tastes of food, you would not like this book. All the allowed foods are blan, plane and not something most people I know would stick with. The author tells you his life story which takes a lot of time to get through it to read the important points. I am going to try a modified Atkins approach instead. The reviews are what I based my buying decision on for this book and I am thankful I didn't spend more then 5.00 for it. It wasn't worth my money.

The bible on Diabetes.......2007-09-01

My husband has diabetes and up until recently it has been uncontrollable, so we've been reading book after book on the subject. When I purchased "Death to Diabetes", it was like none other in scope. McCulley's book is thorough and goes in depth on the cause, cure and prevention of this horrible disease. In addition, it is written from the perspective of someone who has suffered through, almost died from and then reversed the disease. You can throw out all the other books on diabetes. This is the one every diabetic should read.

Death To Diabetes.......2007-08-31

A great book on how to manage, control and perhaps reverse type 2 diabetes. Mr. McCulley is extremely methodical and scientific in his analyses of the disease. He outlines the reasons for T2 and tells what he did to "cure" his diabetes thereby passing on his methods to the reader through his "Wellness" program. His background in biochemistry and medicine when relating to diabetes is expert. He is very well-informed and passes his tried and true methods of control (Stages 1-4) and ultimate "cure" (Stages 5 & 6) on to those who choose to follow his suggested approach through these 6 stages. I highly recommend this book to those who wish to be in super control and possibly rid themselves of this dread disease.

Save your money.......2007-08-13

Don't bother with this book and save your money for better things. Dr. Berstein's Diabetes Solution is by far the best book on managing diabetes. It is better written, more complete, and easier to understand.

Excellent Book.......2007-07-20

This b0ok is VERY helpful and gives some very excellent and no nonsense steps to take to "reverse" Type II diabetes immediately. It helped me to immediately lower my blood glucose.

Very well wrtitten and informative.......2007-07-16

This book is very informative re:Type 2 Diabetes and how you can change your lifestyle and diet and see reversal. It is very easy to read and explains the progression of this disease and is easy to understand and follow.

Devilishly handsome actor Ralph Feinnes, who packed on pounds for his role in Schindler's List, followed this plan and said it helped him keep his energy level high enough to survive his grueling, eight-times-a-week performances of Hamlet. The word "diet" in the title may be a bit misleading, as it's more of a blood sugar-regulating eating schedule; once blood sugar is normalized, says author Adele Puhn, cravings soon dissipate, and that helps excess pounds fall off almost by themselves. It's not a five-day diet, either, as the title implies; rather, that's the amount of time it takes to get your blood sugar fully normalized.

Puhn, who has a master's degree in medical biology and has been certified as a nutritional specialist by the American College of Nutrition, has 20 years of experience working with this diet. She says that timing is the key. Each day, there's a mandatory snack within two hours of breakfast, and two more snacks in the afternoon. There are a few no-no foods that would cause a rush of blood sugar (no pasta for lunch, no plain bagels for breakfast, no grapes for snacks), but other than that, the program is remarkably simple. Puhn says that losing weight is 75 percent physiological (cravings sabotaging your efforts) and 25 percent psychological, such as when your inner "fathead" says you have to have that piece of chocolate birthday cake or you'll hurt Aunt Fanny's feelings. The 5 Day Miracle Diet shows you how to conquer both of these forces, leading to weight loss, improvements in energy, and decreases in blood pressure and cholesterol levels. While its advice may be unusual (vegetables or turkey get the okay for breakfast), its message is clearly sane. It's "not about never eating certain things again. It's about learning how to live harmoniously with your food."

Book Description

Do you knowthat low-fat yogurt, bagels, oranges, bananas, and pasta can make you fat?

Do you know that swearing off the chocolate you love can make you put on pounds?

Do you know that you don't need willpower to diet?  What you do&nbsp need is a program that is medically safe, nutritionally sound, and promises astonishing results by taking away your urge to overeat.  It's The 5-Day Miracle Diet.

When East Coast CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, actors, socialites, and famous sports figures need to lose weight, chances are their doctors refer them to Adele Puhn.  She has helped thousands&nbsp of men and women in the past eighteen years.  Her lucky clients not only lose weight more easily than they ever dreamed possible, but they keep the weight off forever.  The reason for their success is Adele Puhn's revolutionary eating program, which is based on cutting-edge biochemical research and years of experience.

Seventy-five percent of The 5-Day Miracle Diet is biochemistry.  Glucose is the fuel your body needs to keep going, but when unbalanced eating drops blood glucose levels below a certain point, your body responds with an uncontrollable food craving--usually for a carbo-laden, sugary treat like chocolate, ice cream, cookies, even alcohol--that will give your body an instant hit.  The problem is that the overdose of glucose starts insulin flowing so profusely that the rug is pulled out from under you.  You are left in a state of low blood sugar with a need to eat more.

With Adele Puhn's program, you will learn to eat certain foods at certain times to regulate your blood sugar and keep it stable all day long&nbsp.  When you're in "good blood sugar," your cravings disappear--a process that takes just five days!  And not only will you lose your cravings, you'll steadily melt away pounds while feeling more energized, mentally focused, and healthier than ever before.

The other twenty-five percent of her program tackles the fathead&nbsp mentality that most of us share: the emotional reasons that make us overeat.  Adele Puhn gives you powerful strategies for fighting the fathead's&nbsp sabotaging ways, whether you overeat in response to your feelings, family issues, or old habits that are hard to let go.

So toss our your food pyramids, low-fat cookies, and carbo-packed meals.  And throw away words like willpower, motivation&nbsp, and urges&nbsp.  Adele Puhn's program works with your body, not against it, to bring you fabulous results--the weight loss you've always wanted, easier than you ever dreamed possible.

lost too much weight on this, not kidding.......2007-05-16

I followed this book to the tee back in 1998, and lost so much weight I was too thin. I'm not kidding. I'm 5'1" tall and normal weight at my short height was always 105 lbs., even in my early 40's. Unfortunately, I was injured and gained some weight up to 118 lbs which was heavy for me. Purchased this book, followed exactly what she said, and my metabolism kicked in and before I knew it, the weight started melting off, without exercise. It was shocking, got out of control it came off so quickly, and I kept following it and doing it and ending up down to weighing 80 lbs.
It was scary (I have photos to prove), and I had to stop following the program, and of course gained some weight back (which is always VERY easy to do). I'm telling you if you follow this to the tee, it works like a miracle, and was very hard to believe how fast it happened, if you follow it as she says. This is the key. I had witnesses to this, they could not believe it either. But don't go overboard like I did. I let the weight loss get out of control, and should have started eating more normally again and just kept it up as maintenance.

Unfortunate title - Decent book.......2007-02-22

No it is not about loosing weight in five days. Actually, a much more practical book than that. It is more about how to control carbohydrate binge eating and your blood sugar levels. It's definitely not the last word in weight control, but still well worth keeping in mind when planning your daily diet.

Don't waste your money.......2006-08-08

I wasn't actually expected a miracle diet, but this book is ridiculous. The entire books reads like an extended infomercial. You'll have to slog through account after account of how amazing this diet is before you get to the meat of the program on page 80+. The menus don't even start until page 100. This book might have been okay as maybe a 10 page pamphlet. Don't waste your money.

a plan that works.......2005-09-12

This diet plan keeps your blood sugars level. You will find yourself not craving sweets or feeling hungry. It is important that you eat. I dropped 10 pound in 2 weeks. I never felt so good. My energy level is great, I wake up feeling awake and I no longer feel tired in the afternoon.

Good Diet.......2005-03-14

I found this book at a thrift shop last week & decided to try it. I realized I eat pretty much like she says to eat anyway, but not in the correct order, and I've had a hard time losing weight, even with good food. I also don't eat the hard & soft chew snacks between meals. That was a little difficult to do because I don't really crave food between meals, but I tried it & am beginning to lose weight again.

Managing Type 1 and 2 diabetes.......2007-03-31

The author has done some groundbreaking new research on the treament, testing for and managing of Type 1 and 2 diabetes - and the author himself is a Type 1 diabetic and a specialist doctor.

I don't know if it's a good book or not........2007-02-16

I was impressed by the ship time. In fact, I received
the book in less time than was estimated. So, good job
on that. However, when I recieved the book, I found
that 10 pages had been torn out, of a pivotal section of
the book, the section dealing with diet and control.
The reason that I ordered the book to begin with. I
know that you can't read every book that you have, but,
this left me with a book that was useless.

Required Reading for understanding diabetes' solutions.......2006-12-20

This book provides a good diabetic solution and it should be read by non-diabetics to help them understand what is going on within the food industry. It should probably be read in conjunction with the classic "Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine," edited by E. Braunwald & colleagues and "Alternative Medicine: The definitive Guide," edited by Larry Trivier, Jr. . The latter provides a simple but good overview of the subject of alternatives. More details about alternatives are best understood be reading Daniel Reid's "The Complete Book of Chinese Health and Healing" and "The Science of Homeopathy," by George Vithoulkas. The former provides a thorough description of the comprehensive and thoughtful emphasis on individual wellness of Chinese medicine while the latter provides the paradigm shift necessary to understand today's modern healthcare system.

Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution.......2005-01-22

I recently found out that my sugar was high during a routine visit to my doctor.

They wanted to put me on medicine but I refused beliving that they had make a mistake with my test.

After reading this book I decided to buy a glucose meter and test it myself. The results really scared me and I was determined to bring the levels down. This book gave me hope that Diabetes can be reversed or at least controlled without medicine.

I am thankful that I chose to read this book and was enlightened by all of the valuable infomation that it contained.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who has ever been diagnosed, I consider it a lifesaver.

Thank you,
J. C.
Fort Lauderdale, Fl.

Great book.......2004-04-17

This is a common sense book. I am a type 1 diabetic and I highly recommend this book. I have read many other books on diabetes and keep up with the research that is done. Dr Bernstein is a also a diabetic, the book is about his quest to live a life without complications. Great low carb diet book.

Book Description

FOR THOSE IN NEED This cookbook by Pat & Ed Krimmel is an extension of the information presented in their book, THE LOW BLOOD SUGAR HANDBOOK. They have done their best in THE LOW BLOOD SUGAR COOKBOOK to help you prepare the best for your best. It is a very special collection of recipes for the whole world to enjoy. The authors are happy and thankful for all the help these recipes have given them and now want to share the benefits with you.

These recipes are tasty to the palate without being dangerous to the body's chemistry. They are presented in a format that allows for easy reading and preparation. Special effort was taken to design a format pleasant to the eye and easy on the spirit. Ordinary snacks to delightful gourmet dishes are presented along with everything you need to know to prepare foods to help stabilize your blood sugar. No refined carbohydrates (white flour and sugar) or artificial sweeteners are used. Rather, only whole grain flours are used and small amounts of fruits and fruit juices when sweeteners are needed.

Eliminating refined carbohydrates from your diet helps eliminate many of the symptoms of functional hypoglycemia such as headaches, sensitivity to bright lights and loud noises, constant feeling of tiredness, sleeping problems, mood swings, overweight, etc. Even though THE LOW BLOOD SUGAR COOKBOOK was written primarily for low blood sugar sufferers (hypoglycemics), it is equally beneficial to diabetics and weight watchers. In fact, this cookbook is for everyone interested in eating correctly so as to have a healthy, productive and creative life and spirit.

A book for those who are learning to enjoy riding in the wagon for a change, rather than always having to push or pull it. Don't feel exstressive! Balance your body chemistry.

controlling your low blood sugar with food.......2007-01-08

The book was real helpful. I have reactive hypoglycemia. It is hard to find the right information on how to control your blood sugar.

One-of-a-kind Find.......2006-07-12

We found this book long before we lucked onto the pediatric endocrinologist who told our young son to stop eating sugar. (And said, "Of course there's hypoglycemia.") With two members of our family needing alternatives in this world of sugar fixation, this is the only cookbook we've found to help. All others assume it's about diabetes, when it's really about living and eating happily without sugar.

Don't waste your money.......2006-01-13

Don't waste your money buying this book if you already know how to put peanut butter on a stalk of celery. It has a few useful recipes but most of it is just filler. I found Krimmel's other book "The Low Blood Sugar Handbook" to be helpful but unless you wish to let hypoglycemia rule your life as Mr. Krimmel does look for something else. I would recommend the Insulin Resistance Diet for anyone who wishes to maintain a normal life not ruled by low blood sugar.

finally.......1999-10-12

As an athlete and having a high complex carbo diet I developed hypoglycemia. The diagnosis took a full year and developed into major problems. The greatest find was this cookbook! What do I eat? I now have something to help me. I have a family of 5 who can also benefit from this book.

A must-buy for hypoglycemia sufferers.......1999-09-15

Doctors will not help you with hypoglycemia, they will tell you you're making it up or prescribe drugs which alleviate symptoms but not the cause. Hypoglycemia is a misery to live with, I know. Thank God the Krimmels have written their books to help us.
