SHALLOTTE, NC, September 27, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The 'Diabetes Report Card' (1) released by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, shows that between 1990 and 2010 the incidence of diagnosed diabetes has nearly tripled. The complications from diabetes can at best be very costly and at worst be deadly. According to the American Diabetes Association website,(2) the average medical expenditures for people diagnosed with diabetes were 2 to 3 times higher than those not diagnosed with diabetes (after adjusting for population age and gender differences).
A major factor in Type II diabetes avoidance and control is diet. However, many of us do not want to face the prospect of eating as we know we should, as this often involves bland and very boring food choices. Authors Al and Michelle Snapp have released 'Eat Great & Lose Weight: The Natural Cure for Diabetes'. The book offers a simple plan to lose weight and possibly reverse Type II Diabetes and the associated medical costs through simple diet changes that nearly anyone can make. Unlike other weight loss and diabetic food plans, 'Eat Great & Lose Weight' features gourmet recipes that help make getting healthy enjoyable.
Al Snapp has always loved good food. As a result, he was overweight and at age 55 suffered a heart attack. Things got much worse when he was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes. His doctor informed him that he could go blind, lose his legs and, in time, the combination may finally kill him. Al and his wife Michelle, a gourmet cook, realized the only course of action was to change their diet and do the best they could do to beat the odds. Though they searched all the information available to them, they couldn't find a book that offered workable solutions involving tasty and healthy food choices. And so they wrote it.
"Every book we found," stated Snapp, "was confusing, outdated or offered boring and tasteless food selection lists. Therefore, our only choice was to develop our own plan and that's what we did. I continued eating gourmet foods. But in 9 months I lost 90 pounds. I am no longer a heart patient or diabetic and I take no medications. What we accomplished was almost unheard of. We then wrote a book that is simple, easy to understand, up to date and offers an endless variety of really healthy, tasty recipes. We are very proud that the book has been endorsed by a leading Cardiologist, Dr. Claudio Manubens, former Chief Of Staff at Heart of Florida Regional Medical Center."
'Eat Great & Lose Weight' is unique in that the concepts in the book overcome the challenges inherent in following a weight loss or Type II Diabetes eating plan. The foods are inexpensive and gourmet recipes from 'Michelle's Kitchen' are featured throughout the book to help assure that the reader can continue to enjoy the foods they have always enjoyed.
"This book is for anyone," continued Mr. Snapp, "who has decided to change their lifestyle and become healthy, without using pills or expensive plans. By simply changing what you eat, you'll eat five times a day, never diet and feel better in days. You can reverse Type 2 diabetes, control heart disease, lose weight and live a healthier life. There's no guesswork. It's all in one book and it's been proven to work."
