Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

According to Napier (Power Nutrition for Chronic Illness), a nutritionist who herself has type 2 diabetes, the disease is on the rise: formerly called adult onset diabetes, type 2 is now being found in teenagers and children. Diabetes frequently goes undiagnosed, and it may lead to serious complications such as blindness, kidney damage and heart disease. Napier stresses that weight loss is the key to avoiding diabetes, type 2, as well as to lowering blood cholesterol and avoiding the risk of hypertension, the silent killer. For those who have the disease, she recommends a diet and exercise program designed to control blood sugar. She goes into a great deal of nutritional complexities to explain her eating plan, but essentially this sensible program is similar to those advocated by many other health-care providers. A diet that will lower blood sugar should contain nutritional carbohydrates (fruits and grains) rather than carbohydrates that are stripped of nutrients (soda and cookies). It is important to eat fiber-rich foods and low fat proteins (broiled and baked meat, fish and poultry rather than fried foods). The most accessible and interesting part of the author's program is the 28 days of interchangeable menus, calculated at either a 1500 or 1800 daily calorie intake. Some of the many mouth-watering recipes included are the Double Raspberry Shake, a Hummus Spinach Wrap and Lemon-and-Orange-Roasted Red Snapper. Napier offers an easy-to-read, thorough and encouraging reference for type 2 sufferers and their caretakers.

Book Description

An estimated 14 to 15 million Americans suffer from type II diabetes and many are young people.

Referred to as "the silent killer," type II diabetes is at epidemic proportions in this country. Complications caused by this disease make it the seventh leading cause of death in America.

In How to Eat Away Diabetes, Kristine Napier offers a simple, straightforward program to help people eat smart, eat well, and, best of all, eat delicious meals that will significantly lower their risk of this disease. Moreover, Napier offers those who already have type 2 diabetes, or all the signs of it, the information they need to bring it under control. Throughout the book, she delves into the most up-to-date medical findings and clears up much of the confusion that surrounds diabetes and how to treat it. She includes:

· A month’s worth of menus at eight different calorie levels

· A "diabetes-fighters’ shopping list"

· 75 gourmet-tasting recipes that are easy to prepare

· An authoritative guide to the many "diabetes-fighting supplements" that are in the news

This resource is essential for anyone who wants to reduce the risk of type II diabetes simply by improving their diet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Healthy Methods of Managing Type 2 Diabetes, July 5 2002
This review is from: Eat Away Diabetes (Paperback)
As a Cardiac Counselor/Behavioral Health Specialist, I have been searching for a well-written and comprehensive book on Type 2 Diabetes. Many of my cardiac clients have the additional challenge of dealing with this serious complication. Kristine Napier's new book, "Eat Away Diabetes," not only provided an excellent overview of the disease itself, but delicious recipes that help people to become active in beating their diabetic diagnosis.

I have both professionally and personally seen the damage that Type 2 Diabetes can do to a client's health. Two of my uncles had heart disease, bypass-surgery and eventually lost toes/legs due to Type 2 Diabetes. Kris' book provides the reader with tried and true recipes that enable people to eat well while protecting their hearts and managing their diabetes. There is even a dessert section with yummy entries such as Berry Fresh Cheese Cake and Chocolate Silk Mousse!

As a professional who believes in holistic health and bibliotherapy, I am pleased to have a book with interesting recipes that I can now recommend to my clients. It is very reader and user friendly. I recommend it highly!

5.0 out of 5 stars Eat Away Diabetes: Beat Type 2 Diabetes by Winning the Sugar, Jun 26 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Eat Away Diabetes (Paperback)
I have been to SO many doctors and diabetes educators, but nowhere have I found such helpful hints and great recipes all in 1 place. I have tried a number of them in the last few weeks and they taste great and best of all, I am feeling much better.
Thank you Ms. Napier! I will spread the word!

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to understand advice about diabetes, Aug 1 2002
By 
"stovskb" (Cleveland, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eat Away Diabetes (Paperback)
Type 2 diabetes is a national epidemic. Lifestyle changes, including diet and exercise, are necessary to prevent complications (heart disease, stroke, vascular disease, blindness) in those with Type 2 diabetes and prevent the disease from occurring in those at high risk. Medical advice regarding diet often leaves patients confused and therefore unable to follow their advice. Kristine Napier defines Type II diabetes and the steps needed to control this disease in a way that is easy to understand. She provides advice and examples to help the reader incorporate her guidelines into their everyday life. Her 28 day guide of menus will help those get started and as always, Kris's recipes are easy to follow and delicious. Last, but not least of importance, is that all of Kris's advice is based on scientific evidence and conforms to national guidelines.
