Neal D. Barnard

    July 10, 1953

    Neal D. Barnard, M.D., is a nutrition researcher, author, and health advocate. As an adjunct associate professor of medicine at the George Washington University School of Medicine, Dr. Barnard conducts studies on the role of nutrition in diabetes, obesity, and lipid management, among other health issues. His most recent clinical trial established the value of a novel dietary program for type 2 diabetes, setting a new standard for dietary approaches to this increasingly common condition. Dr. Barnard's articles have appeared in numerous leading scientific and medical journals, and he is the author of over a dozen books for lay audiences. In 1985, he established the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, a nonprofit organization advocating for preventive medicine and higher ethical standards in research. His scientific approach aims to shed new light on important health and nutrition issues.

    • Doctors have always considered type II diabetes to be an irreversible condition. But, as Dr Barnard shows in his groundbreaking book, this is simply not true. In a series of studies, he has proven that it is possible to repair insulin function and reverse type II diabetes, and here he shows you how. Using this scientifically proven, life-changing programme, you will be able to control your blood sugar levels three times more effectively than with other well-respected diets for people with diabetes. With Dr Barnard's programme, you will eat regular meals throughout the day, building each meal on the New Four Food Groups: vegetables, fruits, whole grains and pulses. This new way of eating will improve the way your body responds to insulin - thereby reversing the defining symptom of diabetes. In fact, many people will find they are able to cut back on medication after just a few weeks on this programme. With its emphasis on high-fibre, low GI foods and its foundation on proven scientific fact, this is a programme that will work for you.
