Good info, didn't like quizes, or so much space at the end devoted to recipes & meal planning. Most of that is useless to me due to various food allergies.
Great book for those dedicated to health

This book is a wonderful tool, and Mark Hyman is truly a leader in the field of Health and Wellness. This is not a diet plan to lose a couple pounds to look good in a swimsuit. This is a way of life that creates a better and healthier life for your self, if you are not truly dedicated to your health this book will not help you. This is a change in way of living not just changing what you eat for a few week to lose a couple pounds. If you follow the book you will feel better!
Very disappointed!

I started reading the "Blood Sugar Solution" on the advice of my PCP. After taking the on-line quiz & perusing through the functional medicine website it became clear to me that this is little more the a money making scheme based on spurious science. I have numerous scientific degrees from which to base my judgement. It is tragic that certain medical doctors take advantage of today's undereducated population in an effort to line their pockets with money - I thought we were better than that! This is reflective of what we have recently seen in the world of investment banking! I'd like to ask for my money back, but I'm sure it would fall on deaf ears.

You should all be ashamed of taking advantage of a truly pandemic situation from which to generate your own wealth. The American public, if not the world, need to become educated by the likes of the Joslin Center for Diabetes, the Mayo Clinic, and the Cleveland Clinic to name a few - with emphasis placed on diet & exercise. It is my hope that in the end, science will prevail.

Great book. Worthy emphasis on prevention and personal responsibility. Let us implement the program!
Excellent book BUT not entirely realistic

Technically an excellent book. I have no hesitation in saying that I will be making major changes to my lifestyle and my diet based upon the advice given by Dr. Human. BUT. After cutting dairy and gluten from my diet and getting all that exercise I won't be getting a regular massage or spending time in the sauna to distress, nor will I be giving my butler the day off! Really, who has the money to change their mattress because it has springs and just how much of a better life will that afford me?
It's a good book and I recommend it based upon the clear advice on cleaning up your diet but after that it errs toward lunacy when the author imagines that we can all take time to distress our lives and avoid car exhaust and just say no to all of the things that might hurt us.
A little more real word advice and a little less esoteric happy nonsense please.
Outstanding!

Dr. Hyman's practical advice is one of the most powerful and realistic ways to control obesity and diabetes - it just flat out works! Along with the book, there's a complete community site with recipes, videos, more articles and tools to use for following the plan. I've used his approach since reading one of his earlier books, UltraMetabolism, and this new book adds the latest research and refines the program so it's better than ever. Highly recommend this!
