Filled with anecdotes and down-to-earth advice, Living with Diabetes offers a dramatically different method of weight loss and management based on the refreshingly simple concepts of the Draznin Mile and the Draznin Calorie, two unique strategies that can help you lose weight quickly and safely. For this fully revised and updated edition, Dr. Draznin has incorporated mnay recent research findings in nutrition and weight management advances in our understanding of weight regulation, energy expenditure, and how Americans can learn to change the way they eat. An evaluation of "fad diets" has been added, while statistics on obesity and health have been fully updated.
