Customer Reviews

anything Carlton does is a must-have ...

Quite simply, one of the best nutritionists there ever was...Rational, sane, and coherent, follow Carlton Fredericks' advice: and read the other nutrition authors he recommends. One place he falls short, is the environmental and psychological impact on health. All is not in food. One needs to get the unhealthy stresses and influences out of one's life. The issue, for example, of the company we keep, and its impact on our health, is not emphasised enough in his work.But his dietary advice is intelligent, discretionary, and diverse. Fredericks is no 'food faddist.' Follow his advice, and you are well on the road to better health.I wouldn't be without the Carlton Frederick's books I own, and always look to acquire more when I can find them. Heed his food advice. Heed his supplement advice. Believe me, you won't regret it. A truly worthy investment, from all points of view. And with all his well-researched expertise, he's got a sense of humor, too!

Good, but for one mistake

The book reflects my trail and error attempts at controling my blood sugar. I found a mistake on page 219 with respect to the glycemic index of skim milk and whole milk. The book states that skim milk has a lower glycemic index than whole milk when the opposite is true. Other than that, the book is great.

New Low Blood Sugar and You

I read this book years ago when I was suffering from panic attacks. I must have went through a half dozen doctors before this one doctor recomended Frederick's book. I found all of my symptoms in this book and explained in simple words what was going on with my body. After following the diet in the book, my condition reversed itself. All my symptoms were gone. Thanks to this book I now live a normal life again.

Hypoglycemic help at your fingertips!!!

This book was not only a useful source of information, but it also was a great eye opener. It contains many stories of people who have been mis-diagnosed with other diseases and taking harsh treatment, when all they needed was a change of diet. As well, as making a connection between allergies and low blood sugar. Several diets to choose from are included in this book. As well as the eye opening list of symptoms. I hope this book helps many more people as it has helped me.

A Great Book Second Time Around

I read the last edition of this book 17 years ago when I was first diagnosed with Low Blood Sugar. I was delighted to find it had been updated with new information. Especially interesting to me was the importance of Complex B vitamins in processing of carbohydrates and fats. This book also deals with the damage processing does to many of the foods we eat today, and brings to light what I've always thought "Natural Foods are less likely to cause distress than processed foods.
