More About This Book

Overview

In THE BLOOD SUGAR SOLUTION, Dr. Mark Hyman reveals that the secret solution to losing weight and preventing not just diabetes but also heart disease, stroke, dementia, and cancer is balanced insulin levels. Dr. Hyman describes the seven keys to achieving wellness-nutrition, hormones, inflammation, digestion, detoxification, energy metabolism, and a calm mind-and explains his revolutionary six-week healthy-living program. With advice on diet, green living, supplements and medication, exercise, and personalizing the plan for optimal results, the book also teaches readers how to maintain lifelong health. Groundbreaking and timely, THE BLOOD SUGAR SOLUTION is the fastest way to lose weight, prevent disease, and feel better than ever.

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble

The thesis of this book is a Power Point model of simplicity: Balanced insulin levels are the key to losing weight and guarding against life-shortening conditions like heart disease, stroke, cancer, and diabetes. To achieve that experience-enhancing goal, Dr. Mark Hyman lays down a personalized six-week regimen that includes diet guidelines; green living; supplements and medication; and exercise. A detailed, yet doable program by the author of UltraMetabolism and The UltraMind Solution.

— Edward Ash-Milby

Publishers Weekly
Collusion between food industry giants, the U.S. government, and the health care industry has put modern medicine in crisis, says functional medicine pioneer Hyman (The UltraMind Solution; UltraMetabolism). He points to imbalances in seven body systems that cause life-altering chronic illness (heart disease, stroke, dementia, depression, etc.), and traces the root of many of these illnesses to insulin resistance and what he calls “diabesity.” A global epidemic of diabetes and obesity—including children and teenagers—and the rising number of people in their 20s having cardiac bypass surgery indicates, he suggests, a need for community-based movements involving schools, religious organizations, and neighborhoods in a complete dietary makeover. His program can be used with children over age 12 and consists of a two-week preparation phase and six-week routine for diet, supplements, exercise, and stress relief. Hyman assures readers that neither their genes nor a lack of will are to blame for their struggles in “obesogenic environments” filled with “Frankenfoods.” Quizzes, shopping lists, recipes, and tips for overcoming obstacles will keep readers on track, while Hyman’s memorable terminology, passion, and simplicity will keep them highly motivated.

Library Journal
If you haven't fried an egg since 1980, you'll be forgiven a cynical eye roll over this nutrition update: this book gives you back your yolks! Unfortunately, it takes away your whole-wheat bread, raisins, and every smidgen of sugar. Practicing physician and best-selling diet book author Hyman (UltraMetabolism) contends that it is "the quality of food we put into our bodies that drives our gene function, metabolism, and health." He uses the term diabesity to describe the combination of type 2 diabetes and obesity that he claims affects over 1.7 billion people worldwide. This modern plague, according to Hyman, is both preventable and curable. To that end, he offers self-diagnostic charts, detailed food plans, vitamin and supplement recommendations, and recipes. VERDICT The average reader may prefer the simplicity of Michael Pollan's Food Rules: An Eater's Manual. Alternative health practitioners, if they can ignore the relentless marketing tone of Hyman's book, with its frequent references to his own website, will find a wealth of advice. Endorsements by TV host Mehmet Oz and best-selling author Rick Warren may help draw a wider audience to this hefty health book.—Linda F. Petty, Wimberley, TX
Kirkus Reviews
Bestselling author of the Ultra- health-book series (The UltraMind Solution, 2008, etc.) expounds on the limitless benefits of a balanced, organic, fiber-friendly diet. Directly addressing what he calls "our current global epidemic of obesity and type 2 diabetes," the former co-medical director of Canyon Ranch spas appeals to an increasing population plagued with bodily inflammation, insulin resistance and "diabesity." Hyman's book is mindful, comprehensive and impeccably organized as it moves from discussing the genesis of diabetes and the common myths surrounding the disease to how big "Frankenfood" corporations fuel "obesogenic"-based food addictions. Readers willing to take the author's "diabesity" and "food addiction" quizzes may or may not be alarmed at the results. Regardless, the self-proclaimed "wholistic" doctor promotes his heavily regimented "7 Keys to UltraWellness" plan, which systematically addresses problems and solutions regarding nutrition, digestion, detoxification and metabolism. Hyman's commentary on the cane sugar versus corn syrup debate is refreshingly astute, as are chapters on the restorative power of fruits, vegetables and whole grains. The author's effective closing manifesto rallies readers to take charge of their health by making smarter lifestyle choices, which translates to more than 500 pages of useful charts, scientifically supported nutritional recommendations, airtight advice, recipes, menus and a comprehensive companion website. An avalanche of vital information and advice from an enthusiastic wellness expert.

    An Interesting Look

    This is an up to date and interesting look at medicine and health care today. The author provides the reader with methods and objectives, and tells the reader what to avoid in managing care and relationships with the doctor when it comes to sugar levels, diet, and obesity. It is a decent reading for both health care providers and lay persons. While it does filter some of the misinformation in the media, the book is filled with unreferenced and unsubstantiated medical factoids all throughout. That said, a far better choice is Naheed Ali's "The Obesity Reality: A Comprehensive Approach to a Growing Problem".

    I loved the info in the book and Dr. Hyman's explanation of everything. What I did not like is that in the nook version, the last chapter is missing and causes the book to crash.

    more from this reviewer

    A great resource and wealth of information for anyone whatever their lifestyle.

    First and foremost, don't let the title of this book fool you. You don't need to be a diabetic to benefit from the information Dr. Hyman provides in this book. Anyone who is looking to change their unhealthy eating habits will benefit from reading The Blood Sugar Solution.

    Not sure if you have unhealthy eating habits? I can promise you will be surprised by all the eye opening information in this book. I thought I already knew everything there was to know about sustaining a healthy lifestyle, so I was really shocked by a lot of the information in this book.

    This book was certainly an eye opening experience. Reading the chapter on inflammation alone, brought to mind certain family members and friends that would really benefit from knowing this information. I learned many things in this book that I have implemented in my own life which are helping me feel and look better.

    I recommend this book to anyone, and not just those trying to lose weight. This book will change the way you look at your food. It gives you the tools and advice that are life changing. With this same information, Dr. Hyman has helped hundreds of people reverse their illness and get off of medication for good. It sounds hard to believe but Dr Hyman is a medical prodigy and one of just a few doctors in the medical field right now who are not following the norm and are actually out to truly help people get off of prescription drugs by implementing a system that truly works.

    I purchased this book to read not just for myself but to also he

    I purchased this book to read not just for myself but to also help a friend of mine who has diabetes. I found it to be a wealth of good solid advice and guidelines. I found the quizzes Dr Hyman includes to be very beneficial for me in helping me to pinpoint any potential problems I might be facing. He takes medical information which is very complicated and puts it into laymans terms. I would recommend it to anyone who is concerned about this epidemic in our country. I lost my husband 2 years ago to complications from being diabetic. I watched him suffer tremendously because of this disease. It is nothing to mess around with and I applaud Dr Hyman for taking this on. I also love the way Dr Hyman treats the whole person, digging deeper to find the causes and not just treating the symptoms. Thank you Dr Hyman! Excellent Book!

    Love Dr. Hyman's books. Very simple to read and understand. Amazing information. There are diets to follow at the end and all sorts of instructions. It's all based on eating right. That way you can reverse all chronic illnesses.
