A must read 13 Jan 1998
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
If you know you are hypoglycemic, suspect it or fall into the category of people who are always tired, experience non-restorative sleep or other sleep problems, are irritable, have unexplained joint pains, have unexplained muscle pains, are always hungry and crave sweet or starchy foods (bread, pasta, grains, etc.), to name but a few of the symptoms of hypoglycemia, you must read this book. It provides you with all the information you need to feel great again. It includes the health history of the author, and you might find that it's like looking in a mirror and seeing yourself. Besides explaining the underlying reasons for hypoglycemic (low blood sugar) episodes, the book provides a symptom check list that you can use to see how much the disease profile fits your own health profile. If you decide that you match the disease profile, you are provided with a list of foods to eat and to avoid, sample menus with suggested meal timing as well as many other useful tips for life with hypoglycemia. For me, this book has made all the difference in the world. When I bought the book, I suspected I was hypoglycemic, but didn't really know what to do about it. 4 months later, following the Krimmel plan, I feel like a new person with lots of energy and none of the pain I used to have. By the way, this is not magic, but requires adherence to a food plan that eliminates certain types of food. Plenty of foods to choose from, but some definately have to be avoided for the symptoms to be eliminated. It isn't magic, but if you've been suffering for a long time it'll feel like it and is well worth the foods you give up. Read it, follow it, you won't regret it.

So far, very good! 23 Aug 1998
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I suspected I may have LBS because I have many of the symptoms. After a fasting blood test, my doctor told me my blood sugar fell right in the middle, but that wasn't to say I didn't have LBS. I would feel so tired, even after getting a full night's sleep. Driving home was horrible - I couldn't concentrate! It felt as though the bottom would drop out! Then I read this book, and it put low blood sugar in laymen's terms. It also touched me, because some of the testimonials really hit home. At first, I thought there was something really wrong with me, or I was going nuts! But, I've been following the plan for two weeks and I really do feel great. I've lost five pounds, but more importantly, my stomach is not as bloated, I don't get shaky all the time, I can concentrate better, I'm not as irritable and I have more patience towards my family (not yelling at them all the time). It has been difficult giving up certain foods (like ice cream and candy),but the immediate and long term results of feeling good are certainly well worth it! A must read for anyone who feels run down but thinks they are doing all the right things!

Indigestible 5 Dec 2001
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
There is some good information in this book, it's just a shame it's so badly written. I'd be surprised if anyone with dizziness and light-headedness could concentrate on the first chapter. I have seen the same information presented in a far more clear, concise and user-friendly way on the internet. Even the layout of this book is cramped and indigestible.
The message is that refined carbohydrates cause some people to experience a rapid rise in blood glucose, followed by a rapid release of insulin, which then causes the blood sugar to dip below normal levels, causing dizziness, fatigue and other symptoms. This mismatch in insulin response happens because we did not evolve to eat sugar and white flour. Therefore, if we get these symptoms, we should avoid eating sugar and white flour.
It doesn' take several chapters of waffle to say that.

In order for glucose to enter a cell, insulin, which comes from the pancreas, must be present in the blood stream. If too much insulin is present then too much glucose enters the cells and the glucose in the blood stream falls too low and you have low blood sugar, hypoglycemia. &quote;
