As a respected physician and pioneer in the field of complementary medicine, Dr. Robert C. Atkins recognized early on that diabetes and obesity are twin epidemics, and that the way to reverse both is to permanently change the way people eat. Yet much of the mainstream medical establishment continues to advocate the treatment of diabetes with insulin and other drugs, while recommending a diet high in carbohydrates including sugar which raises your blood sugar. What you'll learn from reading Atkins Diabetes Revolution is that rather than correcting your metabolism, such a diet can actually increase your risk of developing diabetes — and heart disease.

The Atkins Blood Sugar Control Program (ABSCP) helps you identify the metabolic signposts that indicate trouble long before the onset of Type 2 diabetes so you can stop it in its tracks. If you already have the disease, the ABSCP offers you and your physician a strategy for weight management and blood-sugar control, while minimizing your exposure to drugs.

Atkins Diabetes Revolution presents a comprehensive lifestyle program, including diet, exercise, and nutrient supplementation. The book also contains meal plans, recipes, a fitness routine, and case studies. This groundbreaking book, a fitting tribute to Dr. Atkins, tackles one of the greatest health challenges you and your family may ever face.

The statistics are staggering. 17 million people in the United States suffer from type 2 diabetes, and 60 million are obese. Over the past thirty years, the diabetes rate has tripled, and each year 187,000 people die from this disease. Diabetes has become an epidemic, and current research blames Americansand#2035;edentary lifestyle and poor diet.

Dr. Atkins believed that diabetes and obesity are twin epidemics, and the way to reverse both is to change the way people eat. Yet the American Diabetes Association and the rest of the mainstream medical establishment have not altered their stance about diabetes care and prevention, still advocating treatment with insulin and other drugs and not pushing for a diet that limits sugar and other empty carbohydrates. Nor has mainstream medicine recognized the need for diabetes prevention, or that the way to stop the epidemic is to eliminate the #1 risk factor: obesity.

With checklists, quizzes, meal plans, recipes, a fitness routine, case studies, and practical advice for those looking to prevent and treat diabetes, this book takes the framework of Dr. Atkins revolutionary approach to eating and broaden it into a complete program to tackle one of America's greatest health challenges.
