Dr. Nandita Shah claims that with a vegan diet made from organic produce, it is possible to get rid of not only diabetes but also lifestyle diseases like high cholesterol and avoid kidney, liver diseases. That is the key idea of this book.
While I already avoid processed food, have cut down on sugar and caffeine a lot, and follow the rule of early and sufficient sleep and regular exercise, as a (vegetarian) foodie I will not be switching over to veganism as of now. For me, the recent focus on consulting with a dietician has been to make sure each meal has sufficient proteins and a little amount of fat as well. And I will be sticking to that for now.
But, for me the key takeaway from this book is to minimise cooking oil, and switch to organic products as much as possible.
P.S.:- If you are interested in the idea, the author has provided recipes and a lot of tools to help you with a smooth transition.

Most of the information and Recipes in this book is already available on the author's website 'Sharan'. Though the scientific evidence presented and the lifestyle changes recommended are very useful, it takes three chapters to get to the main content. Better to check out the website than buy the book.

Holistic approach to reversing diabetes. Includes recipes as well. For the price of the book this is a steal. Highly recommended.

Personally do not agree to certain philosophies that drives her but certainly can see the benefits of following such a life style.

This book is exactly what the title says its is, though it might take longer to reduce the effects of diabetes, the science of the book is taken off this book Dr. Neal Barnard's Program for Reversing Diabetes: The Scientifically Proven System for Reversing Diabetes Without Drugs , though the book was written for an American audience, this book has been made appropriate for an Indian audience.

Dr. Nanditha Shah has also added in some of her vegan views, she also has a very useful diabetic friendly recipe site(Low GI Food) which I regularly use which is a companion site for the book.

My favourite and most useful recipe is the Red Rice Idli/Dosa Batter one.

Do give it a read if you or your loved one is a diabetic, it helps to quite a degree.

Diabetes is exploding worldwide. Many of the health books on the subject indicate that it is a lifestyle disease (especially Type 2) which can be reversed. This is one such, providing good information of how you can cope.

Most of the recent literature has laid the blame on the food we eat (processed) and the lack of exercise. The path to reversal is not easy though. Other than the usual suspect of processed food & meat (as it is inflammatory), this book weighs in heavily against dairy as well. There is a good amount of reasoning for all her recommendations.

Overall, an informative book. It would have been even better if more foods & their impact were discussed.

My rating: 3.5 / 5.
