Atkins Diabetes Revolution: The Groundbreaking Approach to Preventing and Controlling Type 2 Diabetes

by Robert C. Atkins

A new framework for fighting Type 2 diabetes, based on the science of the doctor and #1 New York Times–bestselling author.As a respected physician and pioneer in the field of complementary medicine, Dr. Robert C. Atkins recognized early on that diabetes and obesity are twin epidemics, and that the way to reverse both is to permanently change the way people eat.

The Atkins Blood Sugar Control Program (ABSCP) helps you identify the metabolic signposts that indicate trouble long before the onset of Type 2 diabetes so you can stop it in its tracks. If you already have the disease, the ABSCP offers you and your physician a strategy for weight management and blood-sugar control, while minimizing your exposure to drugs.Atkins Diabetes Revolution presents a comprehensive lifestyle program, including diet, exercise, and nutrient supplementation. The book also contains meal plans, recipes, a fitness routine, and case studies. This revolutionary book, a fitting tribute to Dr. Atkins, tackles one of the greatest health challenges you and your family may ever face.“Valuable nutritional information.” —Publishers Weekly

Not what I was hoping for. Informative. Promotes necessary change, which is great!

If I was newly diagnosed and given this book, I’d be so overwhelmed and downtrodden. My BS in biology was the only reason I could follow this audiobook. Also, they use very fear inducing language. They also resent pills but suggest more supplements to take than I could tolerate. Too many pills! Ironic?!
I’m glad I listened to this long after I was diagnosed- I can filter out the bad parts to get to the good nuggets.

I gave this book one star because he invited me on his radio show to speak back in the 80'3. I also did lose the 44 lb target I had. Also being a diabetic, I had quintuple bypass surgery in 2000. Atkins was a great salesman with a lot of intern's that used his empty steel boxes with impressive dials !!
