People get confused because they’ve read the same stuff on my blog and then complain that there’s no new material in the book. One question some people have asked is “What new information is in The Diabetes Code that isn’t in The Obesity Code or The Complete Guide to Fasting?” Well, almost everything. The end result is something that I’m proud to release. David Unwin, clinical expert in diabetes in the UK, shares his experiences with diabetes reversal. I was privileged to have Nina Teicholz, the author of The Big Fat Surprise write the foreword, and she did an amazing job. Then it gets packaged all together with some nice pictures and published.

So from the raw blog posts to finished manuscript is about 1 year, 8 months. In all the editing process alone took another 8 months. After that, it went to a copy editor for 2 more edits to fact check everything. I did the same thing in The Obesity Code, too. I did this 7 times for The Diabetes Code. She looked it over, changed some stuff to make things clear and then sent it back to me to be redone. So, for The Diabetes Code, it took me about a year to go from the raw material of blog posts, to a manuscript that I could send to a professional editor. However, the posts are hard to navigate, and a little repetitive at times. I also take out some of the most sarcastic snarky stuff. There’s not a lot of editing, other than occasionally deleting the profanities, and sometimes adding them in. To give you an idea of the process, I usually write my online blog pretty much exactly as I would say it.

If you want to dig through all the old posts, though (41 in total), you will get all the information. So with the book, the information is easier to find, easier to follow and laid out in more logical manner. An editor and I spent a lot of time editing and refining the material closely to make sure it is easy to understand and logical to follow.

The added cost comes with a publisher, which have publishing, distribution and other costs. As with all my books, all the information in the book has already been covered in my regular blog posts – on my site or on Since the information is free for everybody, why buy the book? I’m happy to announce that my latest book, The Diabetes Code was released on April 3rd, which is a follow on to The Obesity Code but with information specific for reversing and preventing type 2 diabetes.
