The 21 day vegan kickstart diet has an app that tells you what to buy and how to prepare each meal for 21 straight days. Without my meds and following their diets in these 2 books, my fasting blood sugar always remain in the 90's and under 110 2 hours...  Read More



Cons

Neal barnard promotes a high carbohydrate, low fat vegan diet. He recommends hummus, but what if you don't like hummus?

This diet is ridiculously restrictive. Can't be science based for diabetes or weight loss. People deserve better nutritional science.

    It is not always clear why complex carbohydrates are better than a keto diet


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The complex carbs are still carbs and a type i diabetic must take insulin to manage the resulting blood sugar rise


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    In the shortrun eating only fats and green vegs a keto diet uses less insulin but in the long run that keto diet is not so good for you


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The low fat vegan complex carb diet seems best


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Nothing serious but something to watch


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It is a complete opposite of a paleo or keto way of eating which experts tout that is the healthy way of eating

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Then i went back to my doctor 3 months later worse than before
