Dr. Oz and Dr. Mark Hyman: Reverse 'Diabesity,' lose weight by avoiding 5 foods

It's a national epidemic - and you may not even know you suffer from it, according to Dr. Mark Hyman, who coined the term "diabesity" to explain a condition that he says occurs in 80 percent of overweight people. To discuss this serious condition and how to reverse it, Dr. Mehmet Oz invited Dr. Hyman to his March 5 talk show. Dr. Hyman also discussed his new cookbook, "The Blood Sugar Solution Cookbook: More than 175 Ultra-Tasty Recipes for Total Health and Weight Loss" (click here to get it now).

"Diabesity is the continuum of metabolic disturbances from mild blood sugar and insulin imbalances to pre-diabetes to full blown type 2 diabetes," according to Dr. Hyman. His goal in creating the "Blood Sugar Solution:" To use functional medicine to help people get healthy and feel their best, thereby reversing diabesity. You'll learn the seven keys to re-starting your metabolism and reversing type 2 diabetes in his ground-breaking book about his solution, "The Blood Sugar Solution: The UltraHealthy Program for Losing Weight, Preventing Disease, and Feeling Great Now!" (click here to get it now). In an eight-week beta test of this plan, over 50 percent shed more than 10 pounds, with some losing 28 pounds. However, the focus is NOT on dieting or weight loss but on holistic health, enhancing every aspect of your well-being, emphasizes Dr. Hyman.

Says Dr. Hyman: "People who completed the program reported an average reduction of 14 points on their systolic blood pressure; their fatigue evaporated and they had more energy than they had felt in years; their joint and muscle pain vanished; the program improved their mood and sleep, eliminated their brain fog, and a provided a deep sense of well-being. The Blood Sugar Solution gave these people a new lease on life." One of the keys to this plan: staying away from the following five foods:

  • Sugar
  • Flour (including gluten-free)
  • Processed junk food
  • Gluten
  • Dairy
