Perhaps you know your so-called counsellor best

 

But for the record, since not all members are necessarily familiar with Dr

Barnard and the

two organizations you have brought under discussion, I should clarify: Dr

Barnard is a

reputable physician in his own right - quite apart from his being President of

PCRM. The

Advisory Board of the PCRM group has three very well known medical doctors on it

- Drs

Esselstyn, McDougall, and Weil - among others. These three are known to people

on this

group from their excellent books on health and diet

 

What other books do people know which advocate a vegetarian diet for diabetes

or, even

better, speak directly to diabetes for the whole book (as the book mentioned

above does)?

I know both McDougall and Fuhrman do (because I just looked them up in my own

copies

of _The McDougall Plan_ and _Eat to Live_ respectively) - and of course

Barnard's other

books. Interested.

 

Love and hugs, Pat

Two other books come to mind. " Defeating Diabetes A No-Nonsense Approach to

Type 2 Diabetes and the Diabesity Epidemic " by Brenda Davis, RD and Tom Barnard,

MD, is all about diabetes and a plant based diet. " The Vegetarian Way " by

Virginia Messina, MPH, RD and Mark Messina, PhD has an excellent chapter on

diabetes. Both books are packed with great info and some good recipes to boot.
