Summary

The instant New York Times bestseller。

A groundbreaking method to master all types of diabetes by reversing insulin resistance。

Current medical wisdom advises that anyone suffering from diabetes or prediabetes should eat a low-carbohydrate， high-fat diet。 But in this revolutionary book， Cyrus Khambatta， PhD， and Robby Barbaro， MPH， rely on a century of research to show that advice is misguided。 While it may improve short-term blood glucose control， such a diet also increases the long-term risk for chronic diseases like cancer， high blood pressure， high cholesterol， chronic kidney disease， and fatty liver disease。

The revolutionary solution is to eat a low-fat plant-based whole-food diet， the most powerful way to reverse insulin resistance in all types of diabetes: type 1， type 1。5， type 2， prediabetes， and gestational diabetes。

As the creators of the extraordinary and effective Mastering Diabetes Method， Khambatta and Barbaro lay out a step-by-step plan proven to reverse insulin resistance-the root cause of blood glucose variability- while improving overall health and maximizing life expectancy。 Armed with more than 800 scientific references and drawing on more than 36 years of personal experience living with type 1 diabetes themselves， the authors show how to eat large quantities of carbohydrate-rich whole foods like bananas， potatoes， and quinoa while decreasing blood glucose， oral medication， and insulin requirements。 They also provide life-changing advice on intermittent fasting and daily exercise and offer tips on eating in tricky situations， such as restaurant meals and family dinners。 Perhaps best of all: On the Mastering Diabetes Method， you will never go hungry。

With more than 30 delicious， filling， and nutrient-dense recipes and backed by cutting-edge nutritional science， Mastering Diabetes will help you maximize your insulin sensitivity， attain your ideal body weight， improve your digestive health， gain energy， live an active life， and feel the best you've felt in years。

Understanding prediabetes is important for healthy people

The audience is those with insulin resistance and diabetes。 It's hard to know if this diet would also be great at preventing either type of diabetes but safe to say that it's a relatively healthy way of living。 Also， the book recommends one type of diet for everyone。 Naturally， every person will have anatomy and unique physiology that will dictate a unique dietary approach。 But the basics， the gist of the book， still applies to many。 The strongly plant-based approach is a bit 。。。 dogmatic。 But I The audience is those with insulin resistance and diabetes。 It's hard to know if this diet would also be great at preventing either type of diabetes but safe to say that it's a relatively healthy way of living。 Also， the book recommends one type of diet for everyone。 Naturally， every person will have anatomy and unique physiology that will dictate a unique dietary approach。 But the basics， the gist of the book， still applies to many。 The strongly plant-based approach is a bit 。。。 dogmatic。 But I think the purpose is laid out quite well。 It's like reading a self-help book based on religious virtues; it's hard to sit through it， but it could still help。 The authors did a great job explaining how and why someone can tolerate fruits while others can。 They dive into keto diets and discuss fats and oils - since that's another aspect of the diet that can be hard to follow。 As a physician of course I would try to talk my patients into a diet like this。 I would be laughed out of the room especially given how popular and well-marketed the keto diet is right now。 However， for those patients who already gravitate towards this diet and see its value I think it's a very powerful diet to outline with my patients。 。。。more

I will start with the negative-this was very clearly vegan propaganda that was written with extreme bias in mind， and it was written for insulin dependent diabetics so u skipped over large chunks dealing with insulin regulation。 It also refused to give the green light to black coffee which I do not agree with。 Finally， I would rather die than give a hi give to a waiter after harassing them with my dietary preferences for 20 minutes while they are trying to work。 That advice was cringy and unusab I will start with the negative-this was very clearly vegan propaganda that was written with extreme bias in mind， and it was written for insulin dependent diabetics so u skipped over large chunks dealing with insulin regulation。 It also refused to give the green light to black coffee which I do not agree with。 Finally， I would rather die than give a hi give to a waiter after harassing them with my dietary preferences for 20 minutes while they are trying to work。 That advice was cringy and unusable。That being said， this book had a lot of good suggestions for transforming your health。 It did make me feel better about eating carbohydrates which have been villainized for so long by the weight loss community that I thought they were inedible。 I am interested to try the advice in this book and see if a low fat， high carb diet is the way to finally take control of my health and break through the next plateau。 I plan to start incorporating more plant based， low fat eating into my repertoire to see if it helps， though I will still make allowances for occasional animal products despite their severe warnings that even one bite of fish will cause erectile dysfunction。 。。。more

Annette Stonebraker ，

Great book。 I do not have any form of diabetes， but many family members do， so I read it as a preventative measure， but as a vegan who is trying to improve my health。 The work to manage diabetes with or without this method is daunting to put it mildly， and so I will definitely use this content to minimize the risk of becoming diabetic。

Karen ，

A very different way of looking at diabetes I listened to the book on tape which was easier for me to do I do have a hard copy of it and eventually I will read it。 Talks about the oil that you eat making yourself insulin resistant so that taking insulin and following a regular diabetic diet don’t appear to work too well but they’re pearl process seems to work really well very interesting very different way of eating

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 This is the last stop for diabetes material for me。 Unbelievably informative and practical。-intermittent fasting-daily fat intake （no more than 30g）-meal plan and recipes ideas （ I think I can actually make several of these， and want to！） -examples of different diabetic's daily insulin schedule and measurement。 calls them decision trees charts。 wow -develop a routine The book is finished yes but I'm going to be constantly using it。 Great resource。 This is the last stop for diabetes material for me。 Unbelievably informative and practical。-intermittent fasting-daily fat intake （no more than 30g）-meal plan and recipes ideas （ I think I can actually make several of these， and want to！） -examples of different diabetic's daily insulin schedule and measurement。 calls them decision trees charts。 wow -develop a routine The book is finished yes but I'm going to be constantly using it。 Great resource。 。。。more

My review would be most helpful to people who are already plant-based and just trying to fine-tune and maximize health。 （If you are still attached to the standard American diet， or are still wary of a high-carb diet to treat diabetes， another review might be more helpful， but I'll also recommend the Youtube channel Nutrionfacts。org， or any of Dr。 Michael Gregor's work。） I don't have diabetes， but it runs in my family， and I'd like to prevent it。 This program combines a low-fat， whole foods， plan My review would be most helpful to people who are already plant-based and just trying to fine-tune and maximize health。 （If you are still attached to the standard American diet， or are still wary of a high-carb diet to treat diabetes， another review might be more helpful， but I'll also recommend the Youtube channel Nutrionfacts。org， or any of Dr。 Michael Gregor's work。） I don't have diabetes， but it runs in my family， and I'd like to prevent it。 This program combines a low-fat， whole foods， plant-based diet with intermittent fasting and exercise to naturally increase insulin sensitivity while supporting overall health。 I love the Mastering Diabetes （MD） method because within those confines there are many ways offered to individualize these practices， and all of these techniques are evidence-based and aligned strongly with the work of Dr。 Michael Gregor。 Comparing this system to other plant-based methods: I like the McDougall program， but I love that the MD guys encourage way more fruit， and a little bit of whole fat。 There is a clear boundary about how much fat it okay， and that means you can enjoy a little while still healing the body。 Compared to Fuhrman， way more starchy veg are encouraged， and there is less of an emphasis on healthy fat， while still allowing some。 So， for those already deep into the plant-based world， you know what I mean about the McDougall/Fuhrman dissonance， yeah？ If not， please， don't worry about it！ But if you， like me， are a plant-based vegan who has felt that a substantially low-fat diet might help with some issues， but get a little scared of losing the omega 3's or nutrient absorption， the MD method is an awesome happy medium。 You can safely go very low fat， but still are encouraged to have a tablespoon of flax or chia a day， and if you want， you could have some nuts/avocados， etc， as long as you stay less than 15 percent of daily calories， or within about 10-15 grams a day。 Anyway， I'll get a bit more strict and apply some of these strategies and update this review in a month or so， let you know how it goes。 。。。more

Jennifer ，

Excellent book。 I would highly recommend to anyone dealing with diabetes in any way， shape or form， whether newly diagnosed （as in our case）， already diagnosed and living with diabetes of any kind， or pre-diabetic。 We started implementing this and my husband started seeing & feeling the results within just a few days。 Will be interesting to see how it pans out in the long term。

Roger Royse ，

very useful advice

James Sizemore ，

Easy read， very factual。 Easy to digest， uses the latest science and works extremely well， the one thing about this book that other books on this topic did not drive home quite as well as this book is what “low fat” diet really means。 The 15 to 30 grams of total fat intake instantly improved my glucose levels to almost normal levels。 Highly recommend to anyone that wants to know what a science based healthy diet is。

Coral ，

The best and most comprehensive book I’ve read about living with diabetes。

Kiran ，

Fascinating book about a totally different approach to dealing with all types of Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome。 This is the anti-keto book， which is fascinating since that is the current popular approach to dealing with high insulin levels。 I found the authors from a podcast and was intrigued， so checked out the book for further details。 Their science seems well-researched and solid， but I find it fascinating that you can also find solid science arguing the exact opposite （I'm now reading The Fascinating book about a totally different approach to dealing with all types of Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome。 This is the anti-keto book， which is fascinating since that is the current popular approach to dealing with high insulin levels。 I found the authors from a podcast and was intrigued， so checked out the book for further details。 Their science seems well-researched and solid， but I find it fascinating that you can also find solid science arguing the exact opposite （I'm now reading The Carnivore Cure， which is practically 180 degrees from the premise of these authors）。 I personally felt awful being vegan for 3 months （although I wasn't necessarily following the protocols recommended in this book in regard to processed foods and keeping <10% fat levels）， so I'm not sure this is the right approach for my body， but I'm thrilled that the authors have developed an approach that is working for so many people with Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome。 I may try to implement their recommendations at some point， but for now am still digesting all the interesting information presented。 。。。more

“LETS START by defining the primary cause of inulin resistance as follows : Insulin resistance is caused by the accumulation if excess fat in tissues that are not designed to store large quantities of fat 。 In 1963 Biochemist Phillip Randal and his associates demonstrated that dietary fatty acids readily gain access into cells where they accumulate and block insulin from working…。 50 years later THIS IS CONSIDERED THE MOST PROFOUND OBESERVATION IN CARBOHYDRATE BIOLOGY 。 Its now called “the Randa “LETS START by defining the primary cause of inulin resistance as follows : Insulin resistance is caused by the accumulation if excess fat in tissues that are not designed to store large quantities of fat 。 In 1963 Biochemist Phillip Randal and his associates demonstrated that dietary fatty acids readily gain access into cells where they accumulate and block insulin from working…。 50 years later THIS IS CONSIDERED THE MOST PROFOUND OBESERVATION IN CARBOHYDRATE BIOLOGY 。 Its now called “the Randal Cycle” …Phillip Randall told the scientific world that eating excessive fatty acids acids sets the stage for insulin rejection in your liver and muscle “ Fat in your food keeps food in your stomach a longer time 。（p 51） causing a traffic jam in you stomach Carbs and protein are held back and blood fat levels （Chylomicron remnants &triglycerides） rise faster than blood protein or glucose levels 。 These Chylomicron remnants &triglycerides rush to your liver and muscles first。 In the liver triglycerides are transformed into lipoproteins and sent back into the blood P 52 With the help of emzymes on the cells surfaces cells are able to absorb fatty acids and cholesterol from these lipoproteins without requiring an escort like insulin BECAUSE OF THIS CELLS HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO TAKE IN FATTY ACIDS WHEN THEY APPEAR IN YOUR BLOOD IN LARGE NUMBERS。 If they are not burned they are stored in a pool of fatty acids inside the cell known as a lipid droplet 。 Cells don’t have a sophisticated mechanism to block large amounts of fat from entering。 So the more fat you put into your blood via diet the more fat you force into your cells and it is that fat that plugs the cells insulin receptors causing insulin resistance 。Since when you eat a high fat meal the fat makes it into your blood and becomes available to your liber and muscles cells BEFORE the glucose they downregulate （deactivate） the glucose metabolizing enzymes and upregulate （ activate ） the fat metabolizing enzymes so when your liver and muscles begin metabolizing fat they block out glucose from entering the cellular machinery （page 56） https www youtube com/watch？v=g67X8SeAnr0&t=26s talks about Enzyme Regulation BasicsHow do these cells block glucose from entering ？ Its quite simple -they deactivate the insulin receptors located on the cells surface 。Within hours of a high fat meal insulin receptors become less numerous and less functional 。These dysfunctional insulin receptors keep glucose out of your cells leaving it trapped in your blood for long periods of time。 When FIRST absorb fat from you blood following a fat-rich meal they respond by rejecting insulin to block glucose from entering because they have already accepted fatty acids are their primary energy source （p 57） 。 （ Sorry Dr Fung -Looks like you missed that little detail） Therefore the MASTERING DIABETES diet says Maximum Fat Intake（in grams per day）should be chapter 14）15grams of fat* per day if you never get any aerobic physical exercise 20grams of fat* per day 15-30 minutes of aerobic activity per day25grams of fat*per day 30-60 minutes of physical activity per day30 grams of fat* if you average 60+ minutes of physical activity per day *Preferably plant based fat （animal fat is high in arachidonic acid which is highly inflammatory leading to many chronic ailments ） Its actually NOT eating a high carb diet that causes insulin resistance （ AKA type 2 diabetes） but eating saturated fats。 Fruits （e。g。， bananas， mangoes， oranges） • Starchy vegetables（e。g。， potatoes， butternut squash， corn）• Legumes （e。g。， beans， lentils， peas）• Intact whole grains （e。g。， brown rice， quinoa， farro）• Non-starchy vegetables （e。g。， tomatoes， cucumbers， broccoli）• Leafy greens （e。g。， lettuce， arugula， spinach）• Herbs and spices （fresh or dried）• Mushrooms （e。g。，shiitake， cremini， portobello） Do NOT cause cells to become insulin resistant it is only AFTER becoming IR that you have to limit these and it si by GRADUALLY increasing while cutting out excess aft these that you become insulin sensitive again。 Fung’s low-carbohydrate high saturated fat diet is very effective at improving your blood glucose control in the short term， but in the long term it leads to more insulin resistance， which in turn increases your risk for long-term diabetes ， other diseases and premature death。 Meat even has toxins in it that destroy beta cells （ see chapter 5） MASTERING DIABETES is endorsed by many revered doctors 。 The forward and cover of the book include endorsements by Neil Barnard MD FACC （FACC =Fellow， American College of Cardiology） ， Micheal Greger MD FACCJoel Fuhrman MD （ author of EAT TO LIVE ands ENDING DIABETES Alona Puide MD （author of The forks over knives plan “Matthew Lederman MD Caldwell Esselstyn MD （author of “prevent and reverse heart disease） Other Prominent Doctors who endorse “MASTERRING DIABETES” include Joel Kahn， MD， FACC Author of The Plant Based SolutionAyesha Sherzai， MD and Dean Sherzai， MD， PhDAuthors of “The Alzheimer's Solution: A Breakthrough Program to Prevent and Reverse the Symptoms of Cognitive Decline at Every Age”/Directors of the Alzheimer’s Prevention Program， Loma Linda UniversityI believe DR Fung’s forward is written by Nina Teicholz （a journalist with no scientific background） and his diet is not endorsed by any doctors who have are published peer reviewed journals 。 Dr Fung shares many clinical vignettes from his Intensive Dietary Management Program in Canadabut where are the other doctors who endorse his work ？ Every thing in his book is “according to Dr Fung’s working theory of diabetes causation。” DR FUNG says that the following is what causes diabetes and prediabetes。 First， remember that dietary carbohydrates cause a release of insulin from the pancreas， in order to dispose of the carbohydrate as an immediate source of energy or for storage in the liver and skeletal muscles as glycogen。 If the carb is not needed for immediate energy and if the glycogen tanks in liver and muscle are full， the glucose is converted to fat。 That fat is ideally stored in specialized fat cells （adipocytes）， but can also be stored in the liver and pancreas （called visceral fat）。 Excessive fat in the liver and pancreas eventually impairs function of those organs。 To prevent this overload， cells have to become resistant to insulin’s effects。”MASTERING DIABETES PROVES THAT it is NOT merely the liver and panceas becoming impaired by fat but a build up of saturated fatty acids WITHIN every cell in the body that blocks the inulin receptors from within 。They PROVE that once the intracellular saturated fatty acid levels within the cell drop that the dieter can again eat and metabolize high carb foods in abundance without the need for supplemental insulin 。How do they prove it ？ First of all they cite populations who eat high carb low saturated fat （vegan） deits dont get type 2 diabetes in the first place。 Second by citing thousands of cases where a low fat high carb vegan diet has restored insulin sensitivity on cells without harming the patients。 The authors say “Our extensively-researched method teaches you how to reverse insulin resistance and maximize longevity using almost 100 years of evidence-based research”NOTE : they say that eating a high fat animal based diet is only one factor（ though the primary one） but other factors are:1）tthe nutritional density of the food you eat2）tyou level of stress3）tyou level of exercise -how much you move around all day 。。。more
