Avoid, manage, and even reverse diabetes and prediabetes just by changing when—not what—you eat with this authoritative guide from the author of The Circadian Code.

Today, one in ten Americans is diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, and one in three already has prediabetes. Prescription medications used to treat this chronic disease have unwanted side effects and at best, only manage the symptoms. What’s more, the restrictive dieting protocols used to manage diabetes are difficult to maintain over time.
 
Yet the latest science shows that a simple approach that aligns your daily lifestyle—when you eat, sleep, and exercise—with your body’s inherent circadian rhythm can be just as effective. Best of all, following this program can enhance every other aspect of your health, from losing weight to boosting immunity.
 
In The Circadian Diabetes Code, senior Salk Institute researcher and internationally-acclaimed author of The Circadian Code, Satchin Panda, Ph.D., shares his groundbreaking program. You will learn the best way to adopt intermittent fasting, the worldwide phenomenon that started in Dr. Panda’s lab, which has been used as an effective weight loss strategy for almost a decade. Now, you can use this same strategy to optimize your blood glucose response and naturally lower your risk for developing “the sinister friends of diabetes”: heart disease and obesity.
 
The truth is, intermittent fasting is much easier that you think. You will learn how to:

Identify your optimal eating zone

Plan your meals according to your circadian rhythm

Exercise at the right time to control blood glucose levels

Get the best night’s sleep to reset your brain and body

Optimally time medication, as needed

And much more!

 

"In [this book, the author] takes circadian rhythm science to the next level of medical treatment. Based on cutting-edge research from his own and others' labs, the time-restricted eating program that forms the backbone of the intermittent fasting weight loss protocol has been scientifically shown to be an effective tool in the personal fight against diabetes. It's not what you eat that makes a difference, it's when. His core recommendation is to select a ten-hour window of time within which readers can comfortably eat all of their food and beverages almost every day. By doing so, they will see several benefits: They can reverse pre-diabetes, better manage type 2 diabetes with less medication, enhance immunity, and lose weight along the way. This complete protocol shows readers how to time their eating, including carbs, with their blood glucose response, which varies between day and night. It includes plans for optimal timing for sleep, exercise, and medication"--
