nDid you know losing weight can reverse the physical process that causes diabetes? Yes! Within days of losing weight, blood sugar improves, sometimes dramatically. n Losing weight isn't easy, of course, but The Mayo Clinic Diabetes Diet is a different type of weight-loss program. Adapted from the #1 New York Times bestselling book, The Mayo Clinic Diet, this diabetes diet plan is a whole-lifestyle approach specifically designed to help you lose weight--and keep it off. n n This book will help you change your mindset around weight loss by teaching you five healthy habits for weight loss success, five habits to kick to help you transition into a healthy lifestyle, and five bonus habits to make the weight loss process as pain free as possible. n nThe Mayo Clinic Diabetes Diet follows Mayo Clinic's scientifically proven method for weight loss by introducing a two-step program. n n- The first phase of the program, Lose It!, is a straightforward two-week plan that helps you lose 6 to 10 pounds in a safe and healthy way, jump-starting your weight loss journey and lowering your body's overall blood sugar in the process. n- The second phase, Live It!, offers a long-term maintenance plan to help you stay on track and continue to lose 1 to 2 pounds a week until you reach your goal. Along the way, you'll learn key behaviors that will help you maintain your new healthy habits. A bonus section is packed with physician-approved recipes and meal plans, information about energy density and the connection between diabetes and carbohydrates, how to choose healthy foods (whether you're in a restaurant or a grocery store), and helpful advice for pushing past weight loss plateaus. n Committing to a healthy lifestyle now can help you live your life with more energy and vitality, and avoid dangerous health complications later. Combined with the Mayo Clinic Diet online platform, this all-encompassing guide will help you lose weight, feel better, and successfully manage your diabetes, once and for all. nn
