Beating Diabetes the Low-Carb Way
In the last 20 years, the number of people in the UK with Type-2 Diabetes has risen from 1.4 million to almost 5 million. Is there a cure? Most medics think not. They are wrong. This book is for those caught up in the Diabesity* epidemic, their families and loved ones, and their health professionals, too. Type 2 Diabetes and obesity are now the most common long-term medical conditions in the Western world. The pandemic began in the 1980s when the low-calorie/low-fat theory became official dogma. The sudden intrusion of dietary sugars and starchy foods, in increasing amounts, that followed caused obesity and Type-2 Diabetes to explode into our societies. “Diabesity” is a dietary disorder, and its cure is dietary.
Beating Diabetes is written in an understandable and engaging style. It amuses and entertains as it educates and empowers. Its revolutionary and innovative approach is the remedy for modern medicine’s culpability. The reader will…
- Understand how Official advice is both a cause and a significant impediment to its cure
- Discover the foods and ingredients to be enjoyed and avoided
- Be guided through lifestyle modification; shop, cook, dine
- Explore the roles of Fasting, Exercise and importantly Failure
- The book finishes with a low-carb version of The Ten Commandments
- A glossary and several appendices are also included. These cover oils and fats, fruit and other foods, alcohol and diabetes medicines.

Reverse your Type-2 diabetes with the Low-carb approach
The quick and easy-read book was originally written to accompany a four-part series of talks about reversing pre-diabetes and Type 2 diabetes (T2D) using a combination of a Low-carb diet and Time Restricted Eating (TRE). Low-carb basically means avoiding sugary and starchy foods, as well as Ultra Processed Foods. TRE, on the other hand, is about when rather than what you eat. TRE can turbo-charge the benefits of Low-carb dining. Both address the underlying cause of T2D: insulin resistance. The usual approach health professionals in the UK adopt is to slow down progression of the problem: diabetes. It is an approach predicated on using drugs. The problem is that it generally does nothing to address the cause of T2D: insulin resistance.
Reverse your PMOS the Low-carb way
Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome, previously known as PCOS, affects 1:8 women in the UK today. If you have PMOS, the chances are you will have been treated for the effects of the condition (irregular periods, excess body hair, reduced fertility), and nothing has been done to address the cause of the condition: a hormonal problem called Insulin Resistance. Increasingly, it is being realised that a simple low-carb diet change can reverse PMOS without the need for drugs. In this book, we identify what PMOS is, introduce the low-carb diet, and describe how and why it can work for PMOS. It turns out that eggs, cheese, meat, fish and nuts are part of the solution.

Below is a link to a paper Chris wrote back in 2008. It reports on a randomised controlled pilot study of a lifestyle intervention programme conducted among pre-diabetic patients in Sheffield, UK. Despite the small numbers (it was only a pilot study), those patients who were randomised to the Low-carb intervention did better than those assigned ‘usual management’.
