About this title:
  • Author: Dr. Jason Fung
  • Page Length: 327 pages
  • "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."

Say what you will... but this guy saved my life. Never even met the guy. It's a little bit more than just fasting. My A1c went from 12 to 5.7....and am completely off meds.
I haven't read this book, but I can personally attest that my blood sugar levels went back to normal and stayed there after losing weight. I also stopped eating carbs, but the weight alone may have done it. It's just an anecdote, but it shows that it's not impossible.
There's some good YouTube videos out there that probably provide the same $2. Even fasting from 12am to 12pm can help modulate insulin issues and fix your metabolism. The way I've seen it described is that humans had more than a million years to adapt to a hunter/gatherer type of eating whereas agricultural is only thousands of years old. Even then, people haven't eaten at all times of the day until the cereal companies created the common knowledge that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. The doctor I watched said you can't lose weight with insulin resistance (or it's near impossible) and that's why intermittent fasting is important - studies are being done that show several benefits of IF - the biggest being control of a healthy metabolism and autophagy (recycling your weakest cells and those with functional defects). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuOvn4UqznU

a. For $2 it is worth reading - I am sure you will get $2.00 worth of stuff from it.

b. There is some science out there (published studies) that indicate fasting (calorie deprivation) can help with type 2 diabetes.

I read this book. It's more or less a repeat of what you'll find when you follow Dr. Jason Fung on YouTube. The book, though, gets into more detail about the physiological/biological processes which is the basis for how everything works. Gundry is also good.

I've gone through the diet and people have generally commented that I looked healthier. I can look back at past photos and also see the difference in my complexion. Fast forward to pandemic lockdowns and now I'm fatter now.

In general, getting a control over your hormones is key. Intermittent fasting is not bad and encouraged for those who need to get their fat burning hormones activated. People don't die because they don't eat. A good number of people are in a prediabetic state which is totally reversible. Read this book if you need a reminder of the power of our body's own self-regulation.

This is an absolutely fantastic book! Diabetes is the true modern pandemic. And Dr Fung is one of the best authors on the subject.

If you have diabetes, or "pre-diabetes" (which is diabetes), and don't spend $2 on this book you are an idiot.

I don't necessarily agree 100% with his mitigation approach, which is heavy on time restricted eating. I prefer low-carb for myself. But I certainly understand why he advocates that strategy, as his patient population was resistant to low-carb.

Quote from SlickTeam2710 :
Good thing that a nephrologist wrote a book on a topic that an endocrinologist specializes in
Really? Are you that dense? Nephrologists don't deal with diabetes all day, every day?
