About
A groundbreaking program to avoid, control, and even reverse diabetes through diet and exercise.
The research of Dr. George King, chief scientific officer of Harvard Medical School's Joslin Diabetes Center, is widely recognized in the medical community as the gold standard. In Reverse Your Diabetes in 12 Weeks (previously published in hardcover as The Diabetes Reset), Dr. King transforms the center's cutting-edge research-including the discovery of brown fat and how it enhances the effects of the body's own insulin-into a program of eight proven strategies.
Foremost is diet-but the real surprise is that the diet that actually works, a modified "rural Asian diet," derives 70% of its calories from carbohydrates. Dr. King disentangles the myths and confusion surrounding carbohydrates, fats, protein, and fiber, and shows why not all carbs are bad and why sugar is not the root of all evil. Losing weight is also key, but in a very doable way-significant changes happen with a 5 to 7% reduction of body weight. He emphasizes the importance of exercise-it increases the muscles' glucose-absorbing ability-and gives an easy-to-follow program of aerobic and strength exercises. And he shows why diabetics especially need those seven hours of sleep a night-chronic lack of sleep causes insulin resistance.
A twelve-week plan shows how to put all of it into action-to take charge of blood glucose levels and significantly improve your health.
Scientifically proven methods for avoiding, controlling-even reversing-type 2 diabetes, effectively resetting your body's glucose metabolism for a long, healthy life, from Dr. George King, chief science officer of The Joslin Clinic. George King, MD, a world-renowned diabetes researcher, is Research Director and Chief Scientific Officer at the world-famous Joslin Diabetes Center. He also heads the Vascular Cell Biology research section and is a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. In his scientific leadership role at Joslin, Dr. King spends much of his time educating the professional and lay public on the latest advances in diabetes treatment and research, and has also been working to enhance access to diabetes care among different ethnic groups. He founded the Asian American Diabetes Initiative at Joslin, and has been a strong supporter of the center's Latino Diabetes Initiative and of Joslin's new Black Diabetes Initiative.
This book presents eight evidence-based strategies that--simple though they may sound--will dramatically change the life of anyone who's been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes or is considered prediabetic. Based on cutting edge research from Dr. George King and his colleagues at the world-renowned Joslin Diabetes Center, Reverse Your Diabetes in 12 Weeks is a program of lifestyle changes that are designed to reset your glucose levels and potentially avoid or put away that insulin needle for good.
Foremost is diet, and losing only 5% to 7% of body weight improves insulin resistance dramatically. Other changes include the newest discoveries, such as the role that "brown fat" plays in the human body, as well as the surprising fact that seven hours or more of sleep a night makes a significant difference in the process of reversing a diabetes diagnosis.
Implement one or two of these changes, and your type 2 diabetes will improve. Implement one or two of these changes, and your type 2 diabetes will improve. Implement all eight and in 12 weeks you could effectively reset your body's glucose metabolism for a long, healthy life. The science proves it. "Up-to-date, evidence-based medical information along with encouragement and empowerment, optimism and opportunity." -Booklist
