Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This cookbook & exercise guide is unique and different than other cookbooks. It offers 80 recipes for breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks that are mostly free of grains and grain-flours, which are the real cause of high blood sugar and Type 2 diabetes. In addition, 12 simple exercises are provided (with corollary animations on the internet) that can help patients with diabetes develop better conditioning and balance to prevent falls and improve flexibility. The recipes were developed by a professional chef following the thesis of the author, Dr. John Poothullil, whose insight is that Type 2 diabetes is caused by our modern diet full of grains, rather than by the unproven theory of insulin resistance. The book offers an introduction to explain this insight and why it is far more biologically logical than the theory of insulin resistance. Altering one's diet with these delicious, easy-to-make recipes can help lower blood sugar and even reverse Type 2 diabetes. The book includes photos of 40 of the fully cooked or prepared recipes. Recipe instructions are clearly spelled out and use ingredients that can be found in most grocery stores. No special cooking skills required to cook these recipes. Finally, these recipes are truly new and different; these are not like other diabetes cookbooks which contain a lot of "cook some meat and add a salad or vegetable" recipes. These are creative and imaginative recipes that will tantalize the taste buds.
