This is an amazing book full of a ton of good information. Whether you have just been diagnosed with prediabetes or have been there for a while, this book would be a good one to have in your arsenal. The author packs a lot of information into 176 pages. She points out that her plan has basically three “pillars”: nourishment (food), movement, and stress reduction. All three play an important part in your overall well-being. Understanding insulin resistance (and reversing it) are explained as well as the glycemic index. She also goes into things you can’t control (age, genetics, ethnicity, sex, etc.) and things you can (exercise, smoking, diet, etc.) as well as how nutrition can help you, including the fact that carbs are not the enemy. You just need to be aware of what kinds you are consuming. There are lots of charts to help you as well: family health history, serving sizes, goals, and more. There is also a two-week meal plan with shopping lists.

In addition to nutritional information, she urges the reader to get active when possible and to pay attention to your mental health through stress management, sleep, and coping mechanisms. And to ask for help when you need it. All of this is important to your health.

The recipes are mostly Creole or Latin American based which means I can’t sample a lot of them because of major food allergies (peppers, chilis, etc.) on my part. But the ones I could sample are good. Each one contains the number of servings, the time, whether it is dairy/gluten/nut free, tips, and nutrients. There are no pictures, however, which is a bit of a drawback, but a very minor one. There’s so much else here that lack of pretty pictures is a shrug, not a detriment.

Recommendations: I would definitely get this book if you are in the prediabetes area. Or even if you might be trying to avoid that. It’s full of good information that is vital to your overall health and some really good recipes.

I would have given it a 5 stars if it had an exercise schedule like they have to food schedule.

Other than that I found this book to be very informative and a good start on my new journey
