Somewhat resembles a gluten-free, dairy-free carob-chip cookie with no sweeteners. Looks appealing, potentially good for you, but by the end, potentially a little hard to swallow. I will say this for it: at the heart of the book is a truth we all need to hear: Our lifestyles are making us sick.Feb 15, 2012
Thanks Goodreads for the great giveaway!!! I’m on a diet similar to The Blood Sugar Solution, so when I heard about this book I thought it would be perfect for me. And it is to a point, but I can’t fully recommend this book due to its complexity. The first section of this book condemns the typical American diet & explains Dr. Hyman’s concept of diabesity. While I appreciate Dr. Hyman’s passion for this subject and agree with him on most points, this part of the book is an excessive 60 pages. Thanks Goodreads for the great giveaway!!!

While I appreciate Dr. Hyman’s passion for this subject and agree with him on most points, this part of the book is an excessive 60 pages. While this introduction is necessary, it could have been effectively whittled down to about 20 pages & still captured the essence of his argument. The second section of the book includes eleven quizzes (including the energy metabolism quiz, the oxidative stress quiz, the adrenal fatigue quiz, etc.) to pinpoint possible health issues. Again, these are great, but a little convoluted & drawn-out. Part three prepares for the Blood Sugar Solution. Part four (on page 189) finally discusses the six week plan. For the most part, I like the plan as it incorporates not only diet changes, but lifestyle changes as well, including relaxation techniques, exercise & eliminating environmental toxins. I especially enjoyed the section about the one week media fast. The recipes in the book are fairly simple & include ingredients found at most grocery stores. I will definitely be incorporating those into my own low sugar diet.Feb 17, 2012
I'm not a health food nut. In fact, I love my diet cola more than the average American. I ordered this book simply because I'm going to Hawaii in a minute and I thought I might make some changes and look fantastic in a bathing suit.Feb 27, 2012
Thanks to goodreads for sending me this great book! This is written by an MD so there is some in-depth info being covered, but I thought it was pretty easy to read and understand. He provides some startling statistics (especially about children's nutrition) that really are inspiring me to make some changes for my family. For example, the sugar consumption of an average person has gone up from 10 pounds per year in the 1800's to currently 150-180 pounds of sugar per person per year! yikes.

Also, the breakfast cereals with the worst nutritional value have the most advertising? and more than 90% of American children drink soda every day? I could go on, but I won't. Now I know that statistics can be skewed for different purposes, but this is still some eye-opening information on a topic that effects all of us.Jul 31, 2018
Good book to understand the importance of diet in our health.Sep 10, 2019
4 stars but only if you take out and/or discount everything he says about supplements.Oct 08, 2015
I really feel like this book has a lot of good information. My complaint is the extra and repetitious info that made the book tedious. Everything could have been said in less than half the time.May 03, 2012
So far, it is saying what I have said for years that the medical community treats symptoms and not causes. Our body is similar to a finely tuned engine where all the components must be in balance otherwise problems will develop. I'm only one-third through the book and feel like what I'm reading has a lot of truth to it. Here is a statement from the book: In Chapter 6 Functional Medicine: A New Approach to Reverse This Epidemic: "The Question isn't 'What disease do you have?' but 'Which system or So far, it is saying what I have said for years that the medical community treats symptoms and not causes.

This book addresses one of the most important health issues of our time. And if you have friends or relatives who are struggling with their weight, or with high blood pressure and cholesterol, or other inflammatory conditions, we think you — and they — will want the guidance, perspective and practical wisdom this book provides.Jun 07, 2012
The ultra-healthy program for losing weight, preventing disease and feeling great now.Jun 13, 2013
Interesting book on our eating habits and how some dietary deficiencies can be overlooked. Skip the first 40 pages, take the quizzes to find out what you may be lacking and if you don't want to follow his plan, at least consider some of the ideas he puts forth to support a healthier lifestyle.Apr 15, 2012
Surely a lot of helpful information. But the diet would be impossible for me as an ovo,,lacto vegetarian, since the only sources of protein would be eggs, beans, and nuts. No dairy or grains is too restrictive, although I am cutting down and adding more exercise.Feb 15, 2012
Nothing new. Same info as always in all Mark Hyman books repeated over and over again. First time I read his book Ultrametabolism I loved it. This is pretty much same stuff packaged differently, targeted at people with more serious problems (what he calls 'diabesity').Apr 15, 2012
How does a person rate these type of books?Jul 27, 2015
UPDATE: I don't often re-read books, but I've picked out about 10 or so that I am going to try to reread in the next month or so. I felt they could help me with my theme this year (I don't make New Year Resolutions, I just pick a theme and go with that.)Feb 01, 2014
This book provides a comprehensive blueprint for integrating pracitical tips to help you live a healthy life. The recipes are delicious and easy to follow. Buying the book just for the recipes is well worth your purchase.Mar 04, 2012
A great resource and wealth of information for anyone whatever their lifestyle.May 22, 2012
Title: THE BLOOD SUGAR SOLUTIONMay 04, 2012
Something I discovered in both of my pregnancies is that I have Gestational Diabetes, while I am blessed for it to go away completely when I’m no longer pregnant… it is something I’ll have to deal with most likely every time I become pregnant. My mother has type 2 diabetes and it seems that whenever you reach a certain age in her side of the family that is bound to happen. It’s not surprising and it’s not rare, but it’s a factor of my life that I need to address.Sep 05, 2012
This book had some good information; however, there were two aspects of this book that I had a problem with. The first is that is was a constant AD for his website, which, at the time of reading it, did not have all of the features that he touted. Once these features were up, you have to pay $175 to access them. I also had a problem with how Dr Hyman was trying to get people to self-diagnose and self-medicate, which I think are very dangerous prospects as a physician.

I also had a problem with how Dr Hyman was trying to get people to self-diagnose and self-medicate, which I think are very dangerous prospects as a physician. It is one thing to make people aware of a situation, and completely another to tell people to take several supplements without really knowing what their specific issues are.May 10, 2019
As prediabetic, this book has been a lifesaver of sorts... my blood glucose numbers are dropping! Dr. Hyman provides a lot of beneficial and eye-opening information.Jun 13, 2012
The Blood Sugar Solution: The UltraHealthy Program for Losing Weight, Preventing Disease, and Feeling Great Now! is endorsed by Dr. Oz. When I see Dr. Oz endorse something, I want to read it. Sad, but true. (I hope authors and such realize how seriously the public takes their names on "things").Sep 11, 2016
“Diabesity†is what Dr. Mark Hyman calls the epidemic of obesity and of type 2 diabetes. This book is primarily about disabesity – its causes and its cure.Jun 28, 2019
This is the second book in a row I quit before the end. I made it about halfway. Mak Hyman continually builds a narrative of how everyone is plotting to destroy (Big Food, Big Ag, Big Chem, Big...). What I kept waiting for was when he offered advice, as in his solution. I can tell you that he does not get to it in the first half of the book.Jun 12, 2019
This book had great information but I feel it got lost in the author repetitive habit and multiple side stories. It was hard to stay focused on the real topic.Take your time and choose the perfect book.
