This book helped me to start changing my habits immediately and I was well ...

EXCELLENT RESOURCE
I bought this book about a year ago. A very good read. I'm 6 ft 2 in tall, and at that time I was almost 200 lbs with a fasting blood glucose score as high as 108. A year+ later, and after following both the author's and NutriSystem's guidance, I'm at 185 lbs or less with a glucose score of 96. Works for me.
