Guest guest Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 I have no financial connections with anybody connected to this book. A person is another group posted how she lost weight following this plan. From reading what this says here, this food plan is very similar to Bee Wilder's Healing Diet which I know first hand give the same results claimed here and more. blessings Shan The Schwarzbein Principle: The Truth About Losing Weight, Being Healthy, and Feeling Younger http://www.amazon.com/Schwarzbein-Principle-Healthy-Feeling-Younger/dp/155874680\ 3 Editorial Reviews Amazon.com From her work with insulin-resistant patients with Type II diabetes, Dr. Schwarzbein concludes that low-fat diets cause heart attacks, eating fat makes you lose body fat, and it's important to eat high-cholesterol foods every day. Picture cardiologists and dieticians tearing their hair out and overweight people cheering as they dive into Eggs Benedict with sausage. According to Schwarzbein, the high-carbohydrate, low-fat, moderate-protein diet that most dieticians and disease-prevention organizations recommend is the culprit that turns people into diabetics, makes them age faster and get degenerative diseases, and keeps them fat and unhealthy. She supports her theory with case studies of people who were sick and miserable on high-carbo, low-fat diets and who sprang to life when they " balanced " their diets with more fat and protein. Schwarzbein recommends avoiding " man-made carbohydrates " --processed carbs--in favor of those you could " pick, gather or milk. " She instructs patients to eat " as much good fat as their body needs " : eggs, avocados, flaxseed oil, butter, mayonnaise, and olive oil. Sorry, but fried foods and hydrogenated fats are " bad fats, " or " damaged fats, " as Schwarzbein calls them. You can eat as many eggs a day as you want on this plan, plus meat (even sausage--as long as it's nitrate-free--and pâté), saturated fat, cream, and nonstarchy vegetables. The book includes a four-week meal plan and about 15 recipes. Book Description This groundbreaking book dispels the myths perpetuated by some bestselling diet books that may help people lose weight, but will put them on the fast track to disease. Based on sound research and the success of thousands of people, The Schwarzbein Principle proves that excess weight, degenerative disease and accelerated aging can be controlled - and reversed - in a healthful way. The Schwarzbein Principle is a holistic guide to achieving lasting weight loss, normalizing metabolism and maintaining ideal body composition through lifestyle and nutrition. By bringing the internal systems into balance, the Schwarzbein program has been proven to: reverse type II diabetes; free people from food cravings for chocolate, caffeine and sugar; cure depression and mood swings; and reduce body fat while building lean tissue. The nutritional program consists of two phases -Healing and Maintenance - which are easy to adopt into any lifestyle. Instead of shunning fat, the program advocates eating all of the good fats and proteins your body needs as well as an unlimited portion of non-starchy carbohydrates. By incorporating the lifestyle components of stress management, exercise and eliminating harmful stimulants, program participants experience renewed energy and vitality.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Back when I was first diagnosed diabetic, I read Schwarzbein's book on diabetes. It seemed good at the time. But as I did more research, I saw many ways in which I disagreed with her. The problem with her book (to me) is trhat she makes statemwents with no footnotes to back up those claims.
