Book Description

Dec 24 2012
This groundbreaking plan teaches readers to outsmart blood sugar spikes so they can eat the carbs they love and still lose weight.

Starches are one of the biggest culprits when it comes to the nation’s weight problems. Starches spike blood sugar levels, which can make losing weight nearly impossible. Unfortunately, many of favorite foods—pasta, bread, rice—are the worst offenders. But who wants to cut out these delicious dishes and feel deprived?

By focusing on certain foods that slow the effect of starches on blood sugar, The Sugar Blockers Diet offers a smart eating strategy that can be maintained for life. These foods, called sugar blockers, include all kinds of everyday foods from steak or cheese to vinaigrette or a glass of wine. Learning how to include these foods at every meal will not only help readers lose weight, but also help them reverse insulin resistance and defend against diabetes.

In addition to a robust list of sugar blocking foods and strategies, the book includes:

    • more than 50 tantalizing, nutrient-rich recipes
    • an easy, fun walking plan proven to balance blood sugar and help the pounds melt away
    • a proven plan on which real men and women lost up to 18½ pounds and 9¼ inches in just 6 short weeks

4.0 out of 5 stars I Like It Jan 7 2013
By N. Thomas - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I don't know if I'd call this a diet book. I gave it a four star (instead of a three) because he goes into a lot of detail about how the foods he recommends block sugar. I found that to be really interesting and have not seen that anywhere before (i.e. some foods block sugar in our intestine and some work on our livers and still others work in our stomach).

I can attest to the fact that the vinegar sugar block and the extra virgin olive oil do work. I take a table spoon of olive oil a day broken up in three teaspoons a day in three meals to control my crazy craving for sugar and it works wonders. I just don't want candy anymore when I have my olive oil. I've switched to a salad dressing also that is mostly vinegar and oil and that helps as well.

I do recommend the book, but he talks a lot about eating low G.I. too and the sugar blockers are to be used when you cannot eat low G.I.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent information for a non-diabetic Jan 8 2013
By S. Sellers - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am a bit overweight - trying to lose but it is slow. With all of the ads on TV and warnings from TV doctors about diabetes, i was afraid that I might be headed in that direction. With tests, i discovered that so far at the age of 65, I am not even pre-diabetic, but I considered this book's suggestions about blocking the bad effects of high glycemic foods as healthy way to help avoid this disease while I continue to lose weight. I would recommend this book to anyone who is concerned about the possibility of this disease.

5.0 out of 5 stars interesting book - Feb 6 2013
By Kathy Klingener - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
-nice that it is from a doctor who also has type 11 diabetes and that the doctor seems to be straight forth and honest that it isn't ever going to 100% but it will cut a percentage of control all of the time.
