5.0 out of 5 stars Diabetes Type 2 Diet Control Book, Jan 29 2004

This review is from: The Type II Diabetes Diet Book (Paperback)

I per chance picked up this book as I thought I was heading for Diabetes Type 2. I am in the Medical Profession this book is sound and well researched. I started on the diet 3 weeks ago lost 6 kilo's and don't feel hungry. I don't use all the menus and adapted my own. The book is incredibly informative and once you have this knowledge you realise how other diets and pills and potions cannot work.
I just have a problem with the email address I cannot contact either author on the email printed in the book.
Well done for this valuable information

This review is from: The Type II Diabetes Diet Book (Paperback)

A non-diabetic friend at work read this book 3 times before starting the diet. He was told about it by another non-diabetic friend who had lost 90 lbs and kept it off. After my friend had succeeded to lose 20 lbs his first week (his goal is 80) and 5 more the 2nd, I bought the book and started the diet. I have lost 22 lbs in 5 weeks, and find it easy to stay on. I will have no problem reaching my goal of 35 lbs. I was not diabetic, but realize I was on my way there, after reading the book. Not any more!
All 3 of us experienced the same things (just as the patients of Dr. Ezrin had experienced): we are not hungry, we feel good, and we have more energy.
Dr. Ezrin is an insulin expert, and with Robert Kowalski has written an incredibly easy how-to manual to lose weight. They make difficult concepts easy to grasp, and have written the book in a motivational style. They suggest discussing this with your doctor--even having your doctor read a chapter in the book written to medical professionals. After reading it, my great doctor prompted me to proceed.
Buy this book, read it, start the diet. You will lose excess weight!

This review is from: The Type II Diabetes Diet Book (Paperback)

When you're an active person who already eats a healthy and low-fat diet, you might think that diet can't get you any further than you've already gone. That's what I thought. I'm a professional dancer and train very hard, and have been on under 1200 calories a day, which should have been the solution, given my exercise level. My doctor had no ideas, my dietician ran out of options, and I was still gaining. I posted my problem on an online forum, and this book was one of the solutions someone presented. I thought he was crazy, I didn't think it would work, but I read it - and it made sense to me. I did the plan. I've lost 28 lbs. so far, and four clothing sizes, and am still dropping. Most of my weight came off in the first three weeks. Read the book, think about how it's different from what you've done before, and just think: "I can't stand being fat anymore, but I CAN stand to try a program for 30 days." At the end of 30 days, if you don't cheat, you'll be well on your way to a new quality of life. No kidding. It works, and some of my dance students are using it now too.... it's worked for everyone who's really done the program without cheating. If you're at the end of your rope, this is the lifeline you've been searching for.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ms. Holloway's Review
Ms. Holloway must have read a different book. Each of her claims about what the authors have stated are erroneous.
