He first published this diet in a book in 1997 and was part of a complete program to achieve a normal blood sugar levels. Diabetes is a disease in which the body produces no or insufficient insulin. Insulin is a hormone needed to sugars, starches and other foods into energy. Insulin resistance is often associated with other health problems, such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure and even heart attacks. If you have these symptoms simultaneously, is called the insulin resistance syndrome.

The logic of Bernstein.

When Bernstein was already in its twelfth established diabetes. He was prescribed a standard diet with high carbohydrate and low fat.

So he regularly attacks resulting from low blood sugar, but also headaches and fatigue. (more…)
