Reverse Diabetes Diet book by Dr. Neal Barnard

Just bought the above book and started reading it. Sounds good and we are planning on doing a 21 day trial as suggested in the book. Has anyone tried this eating plan and if so what happened? Thanks

Read the book a few years ago. Its a Vegan diet, I incorporated some of his ideas in to my regime but wouldn't bother going the whole hog with it.
Typical of Barnard's approach is his aphorism , "There are only two things wrong with an Egg - the white and the yolk".

Veganlass found him on Youtube giving a presentation ..

OK been on vegan diet for 3 days , this is the 4th. Going quite well. Im not sticking to it as rigidly as my fiance but I dont have diabetes! Hes pleased and grateful that im doing it too and cooking weird and wonderful meals! lol. Bit of a learning curve but fun. I think I may be loosing a bit of weight too, a bonus!
Anyway his blood readings are lower so were both happy. Today and tomorrow is going to be challenging as were staying with relatives and going out for 2 meals. I will let you know how it goes!
