The Blood Sugar Solution: The Bestselling Programme for Preventing Diabetes, Losing Weight and Feeling Great

I'm a doctor suffering from type 2 diabetes. I have been on oraledication for controlling my diabetes. I'm obese as well. So far it has been very tricky to manage my blood sugars. As I tried to have a tight control I was prone to have hypoglycemia and every time my blood sugars will drop I had to take something sweet to recover and I always ended up having ore than what I needed so result was a big rise in my levels. I was exercising but non of my exercise sessions went without an episode of hypoglycemia and eventually sweet intake and so on. I had to carry something sweet with me all the time just in case. I was anxious, had extreme sweet craving so much so that without realisation I was having sweets all day and my love for sweets was becoming an addiction because I was becoming an addict to my cravings. Now this book has totally changed my life. I haven't started to follow it 100% which I could not due to multiple reasons but I in tend to as soon as possible and I would recommend others to do as well. I have incorporated all the principles in my diet and am sticking to most of the ingredients and supplements recommended by Dr. Hyman in this book. I have started exercising too. I came off my diabetes medication straight away, I haven't had any episode of hypoglycemia since. I feel great , my focus is on getting healthy and managing my diabetes and as he says I'm loosing weight as a side effect, so far I have lost 7 pounds in 4 weeks. It's a bonus because I'm eating good quality food without being hungry. I would recommend you to buy this book if you really want to change your life and defeat diabetes, obesity, belly fat, poly cystic ovaries and sweet cravings. Dr humans stance is so understandable and makes so much sense that I have really started to wonder wether health industry really wants to treat diabetes or just keep selling their new drugs to us. Thank you Dr. Hyman for changing my life. I will carry the lessons and values you have taught me and help others to change their lives.

This is a marvellous book and I understand why it was a No.1 best-seller. This book highlights the rubbish people eat nowadays and how to improve your diet - with the remarkable health benefits which so doing rapidly brings. I tried it - and all I can say is that food cravings have entirely - and I mean entirely- disappeared amongst many other clear health improvements. If you suspect that your blood sugars are spiking and crashing, read this book. Not just a diet book and goes into some real detail about body chemistry about how nutrition affects all aspects of bodily health and proper functioning. Highly recommended for the serious reader.

Very interesting book. I would reccomend to those starting a healthy eating regime and didn't have a clue how to start. It fosuses on diabetic and obesity which I did not care for but it is very scientific and explain things with specific medical terms which I liked.

What a great book. For years I was struggling with my sweet tooth, afternoon energy slumps, fatigue and endless cravings. Recently I decided enough was enough. I saw a write up about this book in the national press, was intrigued so decided to buy it. I did a week long prep to get used to the idea of going on the blood sugar solution 'diet' because I expected it would be hard to stick to it. To my surprise it was not. I cut out all sugar, wheat and dairy and stocked on supplements and followed the eating plan as prescribed. To my surprise from day one my cravings disappeared, I now have more energy, no more afternoon slumps, I'm never hungry and generally feel great. And I'm only two weeks into this. The recipes are so delicious, I am so pleased I have found this book. I am not diabetic by the way, but was heading that way. The only drawback is the fact that the supplements are expensive and of course all this fresh healthy food is too. And having to cook every day but surprisingly it does not take too much time with a bit of practice. But the benefits are amazing. I never write reviews but had to share this.

A lot of what Hyman has to say makes perfect sense and I'm sure he is sincere in his research and beliefs but some of what he says comes across as flim flam. Is he science first or agenda first? He's perhaps a bit too strident and repetitive. I almost stopped reading because the introduction seemed to just say the same thing over and over; he's a bit too fond of ramming his message home. By the end of the book I felt browbeaten and his recipes and meal plans seemed a bit outre. That said, I have substantially followed his advice to cut carbs and get my calories from protein and vegetables so something got through. My advice to readers feeling like putting the book down because you feel nagged is to hang in there because I do feel better for following his advice and I am losing weight.

This book along with "Ultrametabolism" has changed my life. I'm 20lbs lighter, fitter, and healthier after using the tools that Dr. Hyman provide. I've given up 'the white menace' entirely (6 months strong!) and feel better than I have in years (I'm pushing 40). My body functions better, I sleep well, I'm not bloated, and best of all, my processed starchy white foods cravings are gone. A nice bowl of cut fruit is now my sugar. I couldn't be happier with Dr. Hyman and the science. I strongly urge you to read this, and any one of his books, if you're not at optimal health and/or you feel sluggish and stuck in a food rut. Americans tend to eat so much 'non-food' food. WHOLE, fresh, real, unprocessed food is the key to living a long healthy life and with this I couldn't agree more!

A sound guide to help you understand and control your blood sugar levels if you are diabetic or pre-diabetic

I have just finished reading the book and starting on the 6 week plan. I have Ordered some of the supplements on Amazon as they are cheaper than on his website, I completed all the quizzes online so have a good idea what I need to focus on. I have read books with a similar message, Dr Atkins, the juice master, I quit sugar, etc. And this book brings it all together in one,clean easy to read guide. I will let you know how I get on with no wheat, dairy and sugar.

This is not a just a book to give information. This is a workbook with which we can effectively find out by ourselves what went wrong in our body and correct through natural ways. Those who want to reverse diabetes, decrease body weight, decrease blood cholesterol and so on and most importantly those who want to be healthy must read this book rightly saying must work out on health with this book.

A great buy to learn more about your health

Discovering a new way to eat, to consider our health and our relationship with food and the responsability we have in our health and in the enviroment. A must read if you want to improve your wellness.

Have been using this guide and the Blood Sugar Solution Cookbook for 7 weeks have lost 17lbs and gained a whole new relationship with food, along with renewed health and energy. I would recommend this to anyone with any health concerns and for those who just want a healthier body and higher level of nutritious food intake. It does address a number of health issues not just high blood sugar, it is an excellent way to hit the reset button and start over with clean slate. The first couple weeks were a bit challenging but got easier each week, I have more energy and actually even deal with work stress much better. I just jumped in and got started right away before I could come up with a 100 excuses why I couldn't or it wasn't the right time (you know the drill) I did read through the book during the first two weeks and referred back many times after that. So if you want a better quality of life with a healthier body this may be program for you, it was for me I actually appreciate and enjoy food more then I ever did before.

this was a very good read, educational and I followed the plan with a lot of success. well done
