Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Obesity is the leading cause of diabetes mellitus (type II). Commonly referred to as "adult onset diabetes," there is an alarming increase in the incidence of diabetes mellitus among overweight and obese adolescents. Diabetes mellitus due to obesity is likely to be a major public health crisis in just a few years. It is more difficult for obese and overweight individuals with diabetes to lose weight; compared to obese and overweight individuals without diabetes. The great news; however, is that diabetes mellitus can be reversed with a relatively modest weight loss. This book addresses weight loss for individuals who have diabetes mellitus. The plateau-proof diet is modified to compensate for the deficiencies in macro-nutrient metabolism, and the CP and FP indices are adjusted to facilitate rapid weight loss.
