Diabetes diet breakthrough: start thinking "health" and treating the cause of diabetes

Diabetes diet breakthrough

Review of "The Diabetes Miracle Breakthrough"
Author: Mark Anastasi


I have to confess that my first impressions on seeing a brief description of Mark Anastasi's e-book was here is another passing fad targeted at vulnerable people. Having someone very close to me who is in the pre-diabetes stage was enough to cause me to investigate further whilst remaining skeptical. I bought Mark Anastasi's e-book, which comes with a money back guarantee. So, if my initial skepticism was justified I could get my money back. But I won't be asking for a refund! This is not some passing fad.

Based on up-to-date scientific thinking and research and some not so new but proven methods, Anastasi brings a fresh insight to how we perceive and treat diabetes.


Traditionally, diabetes has been viewed as a disease that has to be treated by taking insulin shots. Anastasi asserts that diabetes is not a disease but a symptom - a symptom of a pancreas that is so damaged it cannot produce the insulin your body needs. More than that, the root cause of diabetes in the 'Western' World is our modern diet and lifestyle.

The good news is that you can do something about it. For those people with diabetes willing to change their diet and and to make some simple lifestyle changes Anastasi describes a safe, natural and holistic way for your body to produce more insulin.

Diabetes is the product of diet and lifestyle, according to research quoted by Anastasi. We are, he says, literally digging our graves with our teeth! By which he means that our modern diet is so deficient in nutrients that our bodies are not getting enough of the vital vitamins and minerals we need to stay healthy. Moreover, much of the food we eat today has been processed and contains substantial amounts of salt, sugar and saturated fats.

He advocates food combining as the appropriate diet for diabetes sufferers as well as avoiding dairy products. Drinking alcohol and smoking tobacco products are also to be avoided.

Modern sedentary life, Anastasi says, means we are not getting enough oxygen into our blood through aerobic exercise and correct breathing. 1 in 3 Americans get cancer, he says, but only 1 in 7 of American athletes.

I said above that Anastasi promotes a holistic approach to the subject. An important element of which is our mental state. We become what we think. That may seem a bit metaphysical, but such ideas have been in the mainstream for 50 years.

The central message of this e-book is start thinking "health" and treating the cause of diabetes.

Anastasi challenges many of our deeply held cultural and culinary beliefs and traditions. Some people may find this hard to accept. This e-book is not for you if you are unwilling to adopt a healthy diet based on the principles of food combining and to make the small but necessary adjustments to your lifestyle. Follow this link to get more information so that you can make an informed choice.

Those people with diabetes willing to follow the diet and lifestyle advice given by Anastasi (or at least give it a serious try) can expect to see a gradual but steady drop in their blood sugar levels with a corresponding reduction in their dependence on support from insulin shots. These are the first steps to freedom from a life of taking insulin. This e-book is a must have if you are serious about treating the cause of your diabetes. There is more information here.

My household is giving Anastasi's diet and lifestyle advice a serious go. We have already noticed improvements in our health. I whole heartedly recommend that you buy this e-book.

Pre-diabetes is a serious medical condition that can be treated. The good news is that by making changes to their diet and increasing the level of their physical activity, people with pre-diabetes can prevent the development of type 2 diabetes. They may even be able to return their blood glucose levels to within the normal range. The diabetes diet breakthrough shows how to achieve this.


According to the US Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), while some medications may delay the development of diabetes diet and exercise work better. The DPP also found that a healthy diet and just 30 minutes of moderate physical activity a day coupled with a 5-10% reduction in body weight resulted in a 58% reduction in diabetes.
