The Metabolic Syndrome Program
How to Lose Weight, Beat Heart Disease, Stop Insulin Resistance and More Big Belly? High Body Mass Index? High Blood Pressure? If this sounds like you, you may be one of the millions of North Americans with Metabolic Syndrome. Predicted by medical experts as the likely number one risk factor for heart disease-Metabolic Syndrome, or MSX, describes a constellation of conditions, including those mentioned above, of which the body' resistance to insulin is a primary feature. A byproduct of obesity, 25 percent of the adult U.S. population is now estimated to have MSX. The Metabolic Syndrome Program offers readers a sensible lifestyle-based approach to treating MSX. One of the first books to name and address this condition, The Metabolic Syndrome Program outlines a realistic plan of treatment-without magic pills or quick-fixes to a growing and little-known threat to public health. The Metabolic Syndrome Program includes:
"Karlene Karst has done an excellent job outlining the seriousness of obesity and insulin resistance, and their ensuing complications,while providing a nutrition and lifestyle action plan to help you get back to the basics of good health." —Sam Graci, author of the Path to Phenomenal Health and The Food Connection. "The Metabolic Syndrome Program provides an effective comprehensive solution by detailing a clear, rational approach to a complex topic." —Michael T. Murray, N.D., co-author of the Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine. |

Thanks to this book, I beat the metabolic syndrome! This book was refered to me by an endocrinologist. As a nurse and diabetic, Karlene's book is an excellent primer to frist learn about metabolic syndrome.
The book's content is agreat job educating a variety of audiences: for professionals and lay people alike (although some info maybe too advanced from some lay people). This should be recommended reading to all high school kids. The book not only tells you what you should eat, why, and how it affects you. My only small complaint is that some of the research she sites for recommending supplements is very debatable and or inconclusive. Also, even if she -is- a Canadian, I would do her.

What a wealth of information! This is a book you'll read and keep, because you'll want to refer to it again and again. It's worth more than every penny you spend on it!

The book tends to dwell on insignificant, technical matters. Specific data on specific foods is vague and sketchy. A diet book, to be five star, should provide data for at least two levels of difficulty (i.e. a fast paced diet and a moderately paced diet). For each level, at least 200 or 300 common foods should be rated. Portion sizes should be specified. This book covers all the research but does not provide near enough data on specific foods for someone that is dieting. To top it off, the author has an irritating habit rephrasing just about everything.

THIS BOOK PROVIDES A VERY DETAILED OUTLINE OF WHAT THE METABOLIC SYNDROME IS AND EXACTLY HOW IT WREAKS HAVOC ON YOUR HEALTH, IT HAS A VERY CLEAR SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION ON THE METABOLIC PROCESSES OF INSULIN AND ITS REACTION WITH OTHER HORMONES, BASED PRIMARILY ON WHAT YOU EAT. THE PROGRAM OUTLINES A PLAN OF SUPPLEMENTS, EXERCISE, AND DIET. I HAVE BEEN ON THE PROGRAM A LITTLE OVER A WEEK AND MY BLOOD SUGARS HAVE DROPPED SO MUCH THAT I HAD TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF MEDICATION I WAS TAKING. THE DIET BASICALLY CALLS FOR YOU TO GIVE UP SODA, DESERTS, SUGAR, AND TO FOCUS ON WHOLE GRAINS VEGETABLES AND LEAN PROTEIN AND HEALTHY FATS, THIS INFORMATION AND THE EXCELLENT SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATIONS REALLY HELPED TO MOTIVATE ME TO GIVE IT A TRY.
