One-Minute Book Review

The Prediabetes Diet Plan: How to Reverse Prediabetes and Prevent Diabetes through Healthy Eating and Exercise – by Hillary Wright

First, who this is not for: if you are diabetic (or perhaps cook for a loved one who is) and that has been the case for some time, then while technically the same dietary approach will indeed be generally good, the fact is that you probably know everything in this book already by now (assuming you have researched the topic, as people in such situations tend to do).

However, if you’ve just received a prediabetes diagnosis and are now at the point of “Ahhhh I know nothing about this and had better learn quickly”, then this book is indeed for you, as it explains everything you’ll need to know, from a scientific standpoint and with practical pointers.

The author, a registered dietician nutritionist (RDN), also has a Master’s of Health Education, and it shows in how well she communicates the necessary information here; it’s very simple without omitting important information, and jargon-free without “dumbing down”.

The “Diet Plan” part of the title might lead you to expect there will be a lot of recipes and then perhaps a 28-day meal plan; no, there are no recipes, and there is a 3-day meal plan.

You may be wondering: how does one do a meal plan without recipes? And the answer is that it’s about food groups, portions, and assumed general knowledge (for example, one can say “avocado toast” and not include a recipe for such and the reader will still usually be comfortable making their own).

Bottom line: this is a very respectable guide to the science of avoiding/reversing prediabetes.
