I recently received the book Eat & Beat Diabetes with Picture Perfect Weight Loss by Dr. Howard M. Shapiro and Chef Franklin Becker to read and review. I was very interested in this book, because as health professional, I know that obesity is a huge and serious epidemic in our country today and how it is affecting younger and younger ages very quickly. This is also leading to higher cases of diabetes across the country. I knew this book would be a huge help to me and others on how to learn to beat diabetes by changing our eating habits. What is it about?
Eat & Beat Diabetes with Picture Perfect Weight Loss creates a visual program to prevent and control diabetes. I think the biggest and best thing it does is it gives tips and healthy meals for kids at risk. It is a call to action for us parents because this is the first generation to have a shorter life span that the previous one! Scary, huh? It also has Dr. Shapiro's Beat Diabetes Pyramid in which he simplifies the food groups to fight diabetes and help you lose weight. Plus, get 50 recipes from the nation's premier chefs and a 7-day sample meal plan.
My Opinion
I think this book was very easy to read and very helpful on what foods to avoid, what is in foods, what is causing obesity and diabetes, and how to help. The pictures were very helpful, especially for a visual learner like myself. The recipes looked great and it made me so hungry just looking at them. Plus, even a bad cook like me could make most of the recipes they give you.
It was very easy to understand and I think even children who look at this book can learn what foods to avoid and what to replace them with. If you are fighting diabetes, just feel you are at risk or are wanting to help your child fight obesity, get this book today, read it, and follow through with what it says! It can help save your life or someone you love!
