5.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievable!, April 12, 2000

John Carter (United States) - See all my reviews

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

My blood sugar was averaging 150-180 and my doctor told me he was going to put me on pills. I found out about this book and it has changed my life. In 1 month I've lost 28 lbs and my blood sugar now runs 90-126 and decreasing. Best part - I'm NEVER hungry. The book answers so many questions as to why we are unhealthy, and provides a detailed roadmap to put our health back on track. It isn't difficult, and the results are immediate.

5.0 out of 5 stars A miracle in words, November 27, 1999

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

My boss and friend at work gave me this book. We are both type II diabetics. I read this book, put its principles into practice, and have now been insulin free for 6 weeks. I have lost 23 pounds. I was previously on nph insulin 70 units in the morning and 60 units at night. I have utmost praise for this book and Dr. Ezrin and Mr. Kowalski for their desire and efforts that have changed my life, and could change yours.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!, October 5, 2000

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

I must admit that when I read the other reviews I was somewhat skeptical of how well it would work. I have tried many diets and they all worked for a few weeks, then I got nowhere. I have been on this diet for 3 months and have lost close to 27 lbs. It was difficult at first to stay away from pasta, bread, pizza!!, etc. but as time went by it got easier. It is true -you really aren't hungry all the time, and you don't have to exercise a lot to see results! The weight scales and the way my clothes fit have kept me going. I know when I get to goal weight I'll be able to bring back some of the things I miss (within reason). I highly recommend this book, even if your not diabetic.
