The Diabetes Plan Switch to a low-carb diet, lose weight, reduce medications and prevent or defeat type 2 diabetes

A leading sports physician offers an evidence-based approach to managing diabetes, based on his own research and reversed diagnosis

At age 60, Dr Peter Brukner was diagnosed with pre-diabetes, despite having followed the dietary advice of his own profession all of his adult life. Intrigued, Peter did a deep dive into the research, and quickly reversed his dietary practices, ditching high-carb, low-fat for low-carb, high-fat. He lost 13 kilograms and dramatically improved his metabolic health.

To help others achieve remission, Peter created an online program, which has seen thousands of people lose weight and reverse type 2 diabetes. In The Diabetes Plan, Peter shares his approach to diet, along with meal plans, testimonials and more than 45 recipes. Accessible, authoritative and effective, this is a one-stop guide to how to avoid diabetes, reverse a type 2 diabetes diagnosis, and reduce (or ditch) the need for diabetes medication.
