Diabetes is among the fastest growing diseases in the world. In the U.S. 1 in 3 adults over age 20 has high blood sugar and 1 in 4 adults over age 65 is fully diabetic. Yet, nearly every single person could avoid high blood and diabetes if they understood its real cause—and Eat, Chew, Live provides exactly the new science & powerful inspiration to help people prevent this serious disease from altering their lives—without drugs.

Eat, Chew, Live offers a revolutionary new science-based explanation of what really happens in the body to cause high blood sugar. While traditional medicine blames the condition on “insulin resistance,” Dr. Poothullil disagrees, offering systematic proof of a far better biological explanation for it. According to him, diabetes is not a hormonal disease; in fact, he demonstrates that insulin resistance is not even logical. Instead, high blood sugar and diabetes are the result of overconsumption, especially of grain-based carbohydrates that cause a normal bodily metabolism--cells burning fatty acids rather than glucose--to go haywire. When people understand this insight, everything about preventing high blood sugar and diabetes becomes clear.

Eat, Chew, Live goes on to present three other revolutionary ideas to help people get in tune with their body’s need for nutrition, their hunger and satisfaction signals, and the causes of their overeating. Dr. Poothullil’s offers insightful and persuasive advice about why avoiding complex carbohydrates—even “whole grain” and “gluten free” -- is the key to losing weight and preventing high blood sugar. He goes on to teach readers how to eat mindfully, chewing fully to enjoy and savor food. Many readers report that the book helped them lose weight, get in touch with their body, and reduce their diabetes medications significantly.

Eat, Chew, Live is unlike other books on diabetes, as nearly every one accepts insulin resistance as the cause. Dr. Poothullil theory is a medically sound new approach to explaining high blood sugar—and the implications are enormous for the entire medical approach to treating high blood sugar with medications rather than teaching people “how to eat what they enjoy to lower blood sugar.” Eat, Chew, Live may be one of the most important health books of the decade, as its 4 revolutionary ideas will save many lives.

Eat, Chew, Live has over 30 illustrations and 2 storyboards to explain the science visually. The entire book is in color.
