"I hardly ever write reviews but I feel compelled to share my wife, Robyn's, experience after five weeks on Dr. Fuhrman's diet. She ate a full filet of salmon with two cobs of corn and a full cup of great northern beans with onions and garlic. Needless to say, tomorrow we will be back on this diet permanently with only an infrequent special occasion to interrupt it. If you suffer from type 2 diabetes but are willing to dedicate yourself to this diet, make no mistake, it will reverse your disease and give you a great chance at a long, complication-free life. 8-17-2016 UPDATE. New test results from recent blood work: Triglycerides six week ago - 259."
"I started the ADA diet and followed it 100% for a few weeks and could not get my blood sugar to go below 140. I started the diet that day and the next morning my blood sugar was down to 100, the next day was in the 90's and now i have a fasting blood sugar between Mid 70's and the 80's. My doctor took me off the metformin after just one week of being on this lifestyle change."
"When I read the recipes in the back of the book I thought they were so radical that no one, unless they were, 'on death's doorstep', would eat that way. I was diagnosed with diabetes two years ago and since then, my life has been a rollercoaster between feeling awful and just fair. I'm also eating steel cut oats and taking red rice yeast. I see on his website you can sign up, for a nominal sum, and get additional recipes and recommendations, etc., personally, I think that's, 'milking', it but, that's just my opinion. When I began this way of eating, my blood sugar was 7.8 and my doctor wanted to start me on insulin...which I was VERY opposed to. AND, although I stick to it about 99% I do use olive oil when I want to, I eat grilled shrimp on a caesar salad smothered in grated cheese occasionally."

"Good tasting recipes that are clear and easy to make."
"Great book for those who want to control their diabetes or loose waite to become or stay healthy."
"Love the recipes in this book."
"I purchased this book for my granddaughter who has recently been diagnosed as diabetic."
"Learning proper foods and food ideas was my biggest problem."
"She picked a recipe with black beans and rice, which had carbs listed at 6 g per 1 cup serving. She was so excited she could have two cups for 12 g. I stopped and looked at the meal, which was comprised entirely of rice with some black beans and spices and thought the count seemed wrong. She had one cup, gave herself appropriate insulin for 43 g and her later blood sugar checks made us glad we didn't believe THIS COMPLETELY INACCURATE CARB COUNT."

"2-Go shopping and stock up on the basics- water, coffee, tea, spices, herbs, non-sugar sweeteners, lemon & lime juice, mayo, mustard, pesto, sriracha, broths, pickled foods, nuts & seeds, meats, eggs, wild caught fish, nonstarchy veggies, berries, avocados, full fat dairy, avocado oil, olive oil, butter, lard, bacon fat. Part 2, the 14 day meal plan, not only gives you the meal outline for the week for breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, and dinner, but it gives you the nutritional breakdown of calories, fat, protein, carbs, fiber & net carbs, it then gives you what page to find the recipe on, THEN it gives you a weekly shopping list!"
"Great guide for beginners, has lots a info, and well researched material to help you reach your goals."
"There are tips on the best sweeteners (Swerve over Splenda), the oils you'll need, produce, canned and bottled items, pantry items, and meats. Each individual recipe gives an overall "keto quotient" (how close it fits the idea balance of fats, carbs, and protein) as well as what each serving contains in calories and the fats, carbs, and protein for those servings. Since I live alone I've also invested in more plastic bags and containers. The oils often melt at a little above room temperature so I put chocolate pieces in bags in the freezer and granola in the fridge in snack bags. There's a wide variety of tastes to help you learn your way through adapting the lifestyle to your tastes."
"This book is great for beginners!"
"Easy to understand and follow."
"No photos but recipes I have tried are great."
"Recipes are good...but the informational beginning keto info was disappointingly short...not much new info for me than just surface info that is quickly read and easily found on the internet."
"This book is not what it is described "Packed with everything you need to know to make your body burn fat for fuel" and "A Complete Overview explaining the fundamentals of the ketogenic diet"."

"He, my doctor, had me enroll in a class for diabetics, prescribed some medications, gave me a prescription for a test meter and strips, and told me to come back in two weeks to see how my glucose levels were doing. Applying what I have learned from this book and working with my doctor, I have achieved good control and my last 2 A1c blood tests were 5.3 and 5.8, well within the normal range even with someone not being diabetic."
"Having this disease and who has progressed to where the next move in my treatment is to be placed on a transplant list, it did answered a question or two for me."
"I purchased this book along with a few others to give to my mom who was recently diagnosed."
"Very informative book."
"The First Year: Type 2 Diabetes. When I told a friend that I had been diagnosed with pre-diabetes, she suggested that. I immediately order The First Year: Type 2 Diabetes."
"Half the battle of dealing with health issues is to know what it is & where you can make an impact on it."
