There is a new book called "GOOD CALORIE BAD CALORIE" by Gary Taubes. It is not actually a diet book. It is a very well crafted history of medical research in the area of heart disease, diabetes, weight gain, weight loss and the various theories relating to these problems as well as the principal researchers that have taken us to the present level of knowledge. The book is available for about $25. If you are poorly educated the book may be to tough for you. The book is a virtual cornucopia of medical research summaries regarding the present argument of FAT vs. CARBOHYDRATE in the diet. After reading this book, you will know why you are a type 2 diabetic. You will know how to gain weight or lose weight. If you read and absorb the knowledge in this book you will know more about proper diet and weight gain/loss than 90% of the doctors in the world and 99% of the nutritionists. I have been dumbfounded that this book is not all the buzz of every website relating to type 2 diabetes. I must conclude that most type 2 diabetics do not read much, except on the web. Go to the book store (Borders or Barnes & Noble) thumb through it and decide if you are smart enough to handle it. You must be very interested in diet and heart disease to read it. Having type 2 should be sufficient motivation but if you are a poor reader you are in a heap of trouble. Good luck and good reading.
