Summary

"Dr。 Jason Fung has done it again。 In easy to follow， simple steps and rules， Dr。 Fung gives you the tools to rid yourself of diabetes forever。 Get this book！"
--Dr。 Steven R。 Gundry， author of The Plant Paradox

The must-have guide to reversing and preventing type 2 diabetes through intermittent fasting and a low-carb， high-fat diet--from Dr。 Jason Fung， internationally best selling author of The Obesity Code。

Today， most doctors， dietitians， and even diabetes specialists consider type 2 diabetes to be a chronic and progressive disease--a life sentence with no possibility of parole。 But the truth， as Dr。 Fung reveals in this paradigm-shifting book， is that type 2 diabetes is reversible。 Writing with clear， persuasive language， he explains why conventional treatments that rely on insulin or other blood-glucose-lowering drugs can actually exacerbate the problem， leading to significant weight gain and even heart disease。 The only way to treat type 2 diabetes effectively， he argues， is proper dieting and intermittent fasting--not medication。

Book Review4 starsA good recapitulation of a very old topic; Incomplete in some respects*******Whom is this book for？ If you have read either the "Atkins Diet" or Fung's own "Obesity Code" and UNDERSTOOD them properly then 95% of this book will feel like recapitulation of what you already know。 Also， for people who have understood that you can lose weight on a diabetic diet and understood why that is， this will be preaching to the choir。 And in those cases， you can skip this book。 That's not to Book Review4 starsA good recapitulation of a very old topic; Incomplete in some respects*******Whom is this book for？ If you have read either the "Atkins Diet" or Fung's own "Obesity Code" and UNDERSTOOD them properly then 95% of this book will feel like recapitulation of what you already know。 Also， for people who have understood that you can lose weight on a diabetic diet and understood why that is， this will be preaching to the choir。 And in those cases， you can skip this book。 That's not to say that the book is useless: 1。 More repetition of the information therein can only be an antidote to all of the several decades of misinformation that has been spread by various government nutritional agencies。2。 Repackaging old information in new ways can reach a wider audience of people--on the off chance that one of those packages is fortuitously more helpful to a given person than any other。 （Atkins sold more books than every other diet book combined up until that time， but absolutely nothing that he said was new。 It's just that it was repackaged in a way that it became a hit。） This is something that you might also give to people that go on this or that silly diet and throw away perfectly good money in order to be convinced that there is some easy way to lose weight and if they pay another person then that person will give them that carefree answer。 *******208 pages over 15 chapters works out to about 14 pages of chapter。 And the ease of this writing is such that it is very possible to knock out a couple of chapters over a lunch break or right after the kids are put in bed （but before it is your own bedtime）。******* For people who are not familiar with things such as gluconeogenesis， this book will require rereading certain of the bite-sized chapters。 But， even with all of that。。 this is a book that can be read in two pieces over the course of a couple of days。 （Say， your weekend / other off days。） If I had to reduce this book to half a dozen major points they would be something like: 1。 Government malfeasance with respect to dietary advice is a result of a position becoming entrenched by accident。 And that position can become entrenched only before making decisions with insufficient data。 2。 To control weight loss by calorie restriction as opposed to hormonal regulation are two very different things。 Misunderstand this at your own peril。 3。 Diabetes is some nasty stuff， and it is a causative agent for many many MANY secondary diseases。 （Believe it or not， China actually has a higher rate of diabetes than the United states。 And they've only been fat for a generation。） 4。 The human body has two completely parallel energy systems: glucose as well as fat。 5。 Not all obesity is the same， and people who are not ostensibly fat can have just as many problems as a person who is not。。。。。。 provided the fat is in the wrong place。。 （Visceral fat is much more dangerous than subcutaneous fat。 A beer belly and an underslung buttocks are both unattractive， but the first is much more dangerous than the second。） 6。 There is a lot more money in keeping people sick， because then they can be sold medication。 Insulin is not cheap， and the author mentions the diabetic medications sold more than the NBA/NBL/NFL combined。******* There is a pretty decent discussion about chemistry here， but there are at least two major things that the author left out that he should have included: 1。 The insulin glucagon axis。2。 Ketone production as well as how to measure ketone production。 Both of these things were covered in the Atkins book， although other parts of biochemistry there were less detailed than this here。 Verdict: recommended at the second hand price。 。。。more

Interesting and informative。 A lot of information to consider and think about。 However I still don’t know what I think about fasting diets。 Every body reacts differently and there’s no guarantee these solutions will work the same。

A good companion book to the obesity code。

If giving insulin makes people more insulin resistance， why is it a standard practice to give insulin to DM2？There are some theory to rest pancreas by giving insulin as pancreas has gone through burn-out。 It works for certain cases。 How do you have the main medical establishment change the practice？

Lori ，

Omg！ AhhHaa！ Oh that makes total sense！！ Holy crap！！ We’ve been lied too for soo many years by our Medical Doctors and Pharmaceutical Companies to keep us on medication。 Extremely informative with lots of research to back it up。 And the best part。。。it’s Doable！ I’ve taken control of my blood glucose and gotten rid of 2 medications in less than a month， plus dropped 10lbs。

Weight， health， and diabetes/insulin resistance are difficult topics。 Most of us feel so much shame and guilt around them。 For many， our emotional pain is driven by doctors who berate us to lose weight while blindly prescribing medication。。。 we go home， develop disordered eating relationships and either lose no weight or gain some in the process。 It’s a vicious and painful emotional cycle。 Dr。 Fung gives fresh encouragement and hope， completely shame-free。 He breaks down what is happening in our Weight， health， and diabetes/insulin resistance are difficult topics。 Most of us feel so much shame and guilt around them。 For many， our emotional pain is driven by doctors who berate us to lose weight while blindly prescribing medication。。。 we go home， develop disordered eating relationships and either lose no weight or gain some in the process。 It’s a vicious and painful emotional cycle。 Dr。 Fung gives fresh encouragement and hope， completely shame-free。 He breaks down what is happening in our bodies at a cell level， in an easy to read format with useful metaphors。 He offers concrete solutions that don’t rely on more drugs or buying into some exclusive program， like many other weight-loss/health “gurus。” These solutions are free。 For the first time in my life， I feel unattached to the need to lose weight for cosmetic reasons， and I am filled with hope at the thought of healing my body from the physical turmoil that diabesity has forced on my life （chronic pain， exhaustion， and much more）。4-stars because the writing is very repetitive。 This was helpful in reinforcing key ideas but at times too much。 Even so， this book is a must-read for ALL who struggle with insulin resistance， prediabetes， or type 2 diabetes。 。。。more

Another good Jason Fung book。 It was really interesting to learn some of the mechanics behind type 2 diabetes。

A positive life Changing book。

Great information。

Clear concise information - why isn't every doctor required to read this？ They're still prescribing medications to treat diabetes and they're just making their patients sicker and sicker。 Jason lays it all out so plainly - stop eating sugar and let your body heal！ Although some of it gets a bit technical and difficult to understand， for the most part the book is easy to read and definitely informative。 So glad I read it， now on to his other book The Obesity Code！ Clear concise information - why isn't every doctor required to read this？ They're still prescribing medications to treat diabetes and they're just making their patients sicker and sicker。 Jason lays it all out so plainly - stop eating sugar and let your body heal！ Although some of it gets a bit technical and difficult to understand， for the most part the book is easy to read and definitely informative。 So glad I read it， now on to his other book The Obesity Code！ 。。。more

Fasting is truly the answer to reversing DT2！

Sometimes the best you can eat is not eat at all。 Otherwise it’s a low carb high fat diet。 Anyone who’s looking into reading this， my tip for you is to just read on even if you don’t exactly understand everything。 Doctor Fung uses easy metaphors and repetitiveness to bang the information into your head， no matter how thick your skull is the message will sink in。

All in All， it is a great reference since most of the data is spread across the internet。 Although the book can get repetitive at times， I learned more about the disease than sitting through a week-long class。 One main example was a thigh muscle complication I never heard of， which ironically I had。 As I look back on the class and going with Dr。 Fung's recommendations， I can't help but wonder why this even brought up as an option。 I slacked in 2020 and had an A1C of 16。 Went on two Meds and doin All in All， it is a great reference since most of the data is spread across the internet。 Although the book can get repetitive at times， I learned more about the disease than sitting through a week-long class。 One main example was a thigh muscle complication I never heard of， which ironically I had。 As I look back on the class and going with Dr。 Fung's recommendations， I can't help but wonder why this even brought up as an option。 I slacked in 2020 and had an A1C of 16。 Went on two Meds and doing exercise every day of November and December， I tried to follow the ADA guidelines。 I was stuck at 30lbs overweight and my Morning Fasting Glucose averaged 220's the entire time。 Read the book and listen to lectures from the author and put it into practice by the end of January， I was averaging a Morning Fasting of 125 saw my first morning 90 just this week。 and finally got the scales to move down 16lbs。 By showing the doctor a continuing downward trend in levels， they didn't force a third medication on me even with an A1C of 9。 Diabetes is complicated and this may not work for everyone but if you're struggling like I was， I believe it is worth a shot。 I really which this was around when I was first Diagnosed。 。。。more

One of the best books that I have read on health/diabetes。 Dr。 Fung writes in a fashion that the layman can understand。 I recommend this book！

One of the few authors and researchers who I find has such organized and informative work that they aren't known for one sole piece but their whole collection。 I'm not diabetic by any means but was always haunted by it growing up， this was really informative and offers a solid behind-the-scenes look at why diabetes is such a rampant part of the American Life， despite Fung actually being Canadian。I got my hands on this book through conducting a few research projects on the topic of diabetes and I One of the few authors and researchers who I find has such organized and informative work that they aren't known for one sole piece but their whole collection。 I'm not diabetic by any means but was always haunted by it growing up， this was really informative and offers a solid behind-the-scenes look at why diabetes is such a rampant part of the American Life， despite Fung actually being Canadian。I got my hands on this book through conducting a few research projects on the topic of diabetes and I can see why it's made its way up to the top of diabetes literature。 It's an easy to understand book through several helpful analogies and offers hope in an otherwise assumed chronic and permanent disease。Also， I loved that Appendix Intermittent fasting schedule with recipes AND Fung's also got a website riddled with more recipes like whaaa boo-yah。https://thefastingmethod。com/recipes/ 。。。more

"Life in the fasting lane，" which I raved about could be considered a sequel to this handy book。 "The Diabetes Code" is subtitled， "Prevent and reverse Diabetes naturally。" The author speaks out bravely against established medical conventions and treatment methodologies and had made some very daring claims。 I was tremendously impressed by the book in so far as it explained what diabetes is and how it ought to be treated。 It looked very doable and I plunged right into it。 I ought to have been mor "Life in the fasting lane，" which I raved about could be considered a sequel to this handy book。 "The Diabetes Code" is subtitled， "Prevent and reverse Diabetes naturally。" The author speaks out bravely against established medical conventions and treatment methodologies and had made some very daring claims。 I was tremendously impressed by the book in so far as it explained what diabetes is and how it ought to be treated。 It looked very doable and I plunged right into it。 I ought to have been more careful because it proved disastrous for me and my own condition in addition to diabetes。 Dr。 Fung's advise to see your physician in such a situation should be borne in mid very carefully。 。。。more

Wow。 Send me some good vibes because this is going to be a challenge！ Information is sometimes scary， but nonetheless empowering and this book is incredibly full of eye-opening information。

The book is very useful and interesting。 After all， this disease is becoming common， and you need to know how to fight it。 Diet for type 2 diabetes is no longer a measure that you can temporarily apply， it's all your future life and how well you are willing to follow all the rules of the diet， and will depend on the quality and duration of life。 The most important rule - strict adherence to the menu and diet and only in this case you will avoid complications， get effective results。 According to The book is very useful and interesting。 After all， this disease is becoming common， and you need to know how to fight it。 Diet for type 2 diabetes is no longer a measure that you can temporarily apply， it's all your future life and how well you are willing to follow all the rules of the diet， and will depend on the quality and duration of life。 The most important rule - strict adherence to the menu and diet and only in this case you will avoid complications， get effective results。 According to statistics - almost eighty percent of diabetics with type 2 - are people who are obese， so the diet should be low in calories in order for the patient's weight to stabilize quickly and return to normal。 The second rule is to prevent high blood sugar after eating， in other words， patients should not allow postprandial hyperglycemia。 In this case， a very good drug will help https://www。canadadrugsdirect。com/pro。。。 。 。。。more

Good follow-up book to the Obesity Code for diabetics and those concerned about the possibility of it。 Again， he gets into the science pretty deeply。 His solutions are similar to those in the Obesity Code， but a little more focused on the triggers for Diabetes。

Pauline ，

I'm not knowledgeable enough about the science to know if everything he says makes sense （or even follow all of it sometimes）， but it seems to， the way he explains it。 It would be a big change in our eating habits， and the kind of foods suggested in the sample meal plans don't particularly appeal to me （either to cook or to eat）， but if my overweight and diabetic husband thinks it's worth trying， I'm game for it。 Certainly taking all the medicines doesn't seem to have been helping。 I'm not knowledgeable enough about the science to know if everything he says makes sense （or even follow all of it sometimes）， but it seems to， the way he explains it。 It would be a big change in our eating habits， and the kind of foods suggested in the sample meal plans don't particularly appeal to me （either to cook or to eat）， but if my overweight and diabetic husband thinks it's worth trying， I'm game for it。 Certainly taking all the medicines doesn't seem to have been helping。 。。。more

Excellent book for anyone struggling with Type2 diabetes or prediabetes and looking to naturally reverse it。 Author himself being a nephrologist and having worked with diabetic patients for majority of his career presents thoroughly researched scientific arguments on why this is a nutritional disease and should be treated via nutrition and not with drugs （which are of low efficiency anyway or even make things worse）。

Just recently diagnosed with diabetes & thought it was a death sentence。 This book helped me realize I have the power to cure myself thru diet & fasting。 Must read for anyone overweight or with pre-diabetes or diabetes。
