Review of The 30-Day Diabetes Miracle: Lifestyle Center of America's Complete Program to Stop Diabetes, Restore Health,and Build Natural Vitality (Hardcover)

So I've been following the lifestyle recommended by these authors for about 7 years.My dad was a diabetic and I have been pre-diabetic (if there is such a thing...).Having two small boys at the time, my wife and I decided to move to this type of healthy lifestyle so that they could have the best shot at health as they grow up.What their choices will be after they are grown is up to them.Like Khalil Gibran says, "You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. ... For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable."

While we changed our lifestyle primarily for the sake of our boys, the benefits that we experienced were amazing.I lost 30 pounds. My wife didn't need to lose any, but her severe monthly cramps simply stopped.Both of our boys (2 and 4 at the time) no longer had chronic ear infections.Almost all of my allergies went away.My blood pressure dropped.My sugars dropped to normal levels.Over time, my cholesterol dropped to 147(!)We were amazed!

I can certainly understand why the book has the word "miracle" in it.The physiological changes in the body seem miraculous when a healthy lifestyle is adopted.What is really amazing to me is that the medical industry is still relying almost exclusively on medications to treat the symptoms of diabetes instead of focusing on the cause of diabetes like these authors do- our lifestyle choices and habits.

By the way, one of the things I appreciated in this book was the large number of scientific citations throughout the book.The information presented is credible.I also liked the fact that this book and program comes from a non-profit organization and is not written by some docs looking to make a quick buck.This is clearly not your typical "diet" book, but advocates and lays out a step-by-step plan to take responsibility for our health back and start making better health choices.

My family has honestly enjoyed our health adventure.It's now fun to go to restaurants and pick out foods from across the menu that are healthy.However, we learned that changing habits is hard.But in our experience, it is so worth it.I really wish that we had had a book like this when we first changed to healthier lifestyle choices.It would have made things so much easier to have had a documented program like this to get us started on the right track.
