Your Simple Guide to Reversing Type 2 Diabetes: The 3-step plan to transform your health

Good

An easy to read, brief but comprehensive in practically terms, approach to weight loss backed by recent research at Newcastle University.Ignore the review that complains that fat and insulin are not mentioned. They certainly are. So is the Keto diet.Ignore the review that complains the book is not based on recent research. That's exactly what it is based on.The reviewer that says it's just calorie restriction and so nothing new has also missed the point. What's new is the dramatic first step of extreme calorie restriction and the research-based assurance that it's safe to do.Odd though that the author prefers to refer to stones in weight and only uses kilogrammes as an afterthought. As someone who knew only Imperial measures until the age of 12 and thereafter metric even I found that frustrating.

Really disappointing advice. Good info on what DM2 is and how it's created but simply advising liquid diet of 600 calories through diet milkshakes +fibrous food 100-200 calories really is annoying. Our bodies do need the fibrous food to aid digestion/elimination and water, yet there's not much advice on the water side. I think this was a complete waste of money, compared to Michael Mosley's books which make understanding food types and combinations better.

This is a very no-nonsense and to-the-point read. It explains the science behind type 2 diabetes which is basically - you have fat on your liver and pancreas that shouldn't be there. To get better, you need to get rid of that fat. Achieving this requires getting back to the weight you were in your early twenties. For most people this means losing around 15kgs. Once this is established, the recommendation is to just get on with it by following a 12 week programme which includes 8 week3 of 6-800 calories a day. You can also lose the weight at a lower pace if you prefer. But why not just crack on, says Roy.The straighforward thing is to consume most of your 600-800 calories in the form of shakes and add 200 calories in veg just so you can do a poo. But he says you can just do it with food if you have the time and inclination to prepare food with the exact number of calories.I did the year weight loss and lost the diabetes before but regained over a period of years. Now I am up for cracking on. I am doing shake and veg soup. 600 calories a day or a bit more. One olive as a treat. Fifth week done. Blood suger normal. It's not easy but not that hard. I am cooking for others but I am focused on the fact that I can get rid of a serious illness in 12 weeks.What can you lose by trying this.

Short, easy to read.Highlights a diet that has allowed people to recover from Type 2 diabetesDoesn't dictate that it is the only way continue to maintain weight loss, and understands people are likely to have issues with friends and family to continue the diet.Explains the reasons why the diet works and it also discusses some historical "facts" that have been misinterpreted.Since it is really only advising you to use some liquid diets to go on a quick weight loss diet, there's no a lot of need to discuss that part of the diet, but has information on how to progress from that first 2 month quick weight loss through reintroducing meals

Written by a pioneering expert in diabetes research and medical practice, this short book is a no-nonsense perspective on the seriousness of Type 2 diabetes and the prospect for remission with significant weight reduction. It offers a promising route to remission (at least, for many people, but not all) and sensible advice on how to acheive the necessary weight loss. I was impressed by the main message that everyone with Type 2 diabetes should be highly motivated to lose the weight necessary for them, and not against some ideal one-size-fits-all. The fact that medication alone does not stop the disease process of diabetes was striking - 'treatment' does not equal cure or remission. Professor Taylor's book is highly valuable to so many people who are struggling to get their diabetes under control to stop the associated very serious long-term medical consequences.
