In the past decade, the number of Americans with diabetes has increased by at least 40 percent, and alarmingly appears in younger and younger adults. This disturbing trend goes hand in hand with a doubling of obesity over the last 20 years. The good news is that if you lose weight, you can stabilize your blood sugar without the need for drugs and insulin. Based on a study of 52 overweight adults with type 2 diabetes and drawing on the same balanced principles that made ChangeOne one of the most talked about new diet programs of 2003 and 2004, this book provides readers with a three-part sensible, realistic program for making positive, and deliciously healthful, changes--one change at a time. | | | Features: | |
• The Natural Solution Program for Lowering Your Blood Sugar, Losing Weight, and Living a Healthier Life
• A three-part health and diet program designed especially for people with diabetes.

Life changingSep 20, 2009
I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic, but my doctor didn't have any recommendations for information. I went to the library and checked out all of the books I could find on diabetes. When I started reading this book, I knew this was the one I would use, so I purchased it from Amazon. I lost 35 pounds and for 2 years now all of my lab work comes back with flying colors. Diabetes is so scary, but it can be controlled. Good luck to all with this diagnosis. Please read this book! It will be life changing!

Great diet plan that is easy to followJul 19, 2007
Not just for diabetics! My husband is hypoglycemic and we have had wonderful results following this diet plan. He had several very frightening incidences where he crashed severely and they were very clearly a direct response to food. I turned to this book for help and since we started this diet he has not crashed once. Although I have neither health condition I decided to follow the plan too since it seems so smart and simple. The concept of dividing your meal into 1/2 vegetables, 1/4 starches or carbs, and 1/4 protein is a brilliant idea and when it comes to actually making meals this is very easy to follow. You can still eat all the food you love but sometimes the cooking method needs tweaking and you will have to change the portion sizes but you'll catch on very quickly. The transitions are easier than you think. And you'll feel better after only a few days. My husband immediately noticed a change for the better, he woke up with more energy, felt more rested, and was able to get more work done. He just feels good. Plus, we've both lost weight while still enjoying our favorite meals that needed only slight modifications. The best part, we don't feel like we're on a diet! This book will change the way you look at food, cooking methods, and portions and you'll be glad it did. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to feel better and loose weight, whether you are a diabetic or not.

Great, especially for the newly diagnosed!Feb 02, 2007
I love this book! Being diagnosed with Type II Diabetes is absolutely overwhelming - there are so many new things to learn and so many changes to make in how you eat and how you LIVE! This book takes you by the hand, calms you down and shows you where to begin. The title says it all - Change One - and that's exactly how the book proceeds. Walks you through the changes you need to make one at a time so the changes will become lasting ones. Lots of good information on Type II Diabetes itself as well as on diet and exercise. And plenty of great recipes, including a section on "makeovers" for old favorites like Macaroni & Cheese. I loved this book immediately and showed it to my doctor. She was so impressed she bought a copy for her office and now recommends it to all her newly diagnosed diabetics!
