Extended description

The author of "What on Earth Can I Eat" is neither a doctor nor a dietician; he is simply a diabetic who was asking exactly that question in 2002 after he was diagnosed. He spent the years since then on a journey of discovery; initially to try to find the answer for his own way of eating and later passing that knowledge on to others on diabetes web forums around the world.

They all claim to be right but many will be wrong.

This book is intended to help you answer that question - for you.

One of the problems with all of those conflicting sources of dietary advice is that they are generalised. The people promoting the conflicting and confusing array of diets, herbal cures, supplements and other magic bullets do not know you as well as you do. Nor do they know your other medical conditions, your food allergies, your exercise limitations or how your body reacts to different foods at different times of day.

"What on Earth Can I Eat" is intended to show you how to find an enjoyable way of eating that suits you, and you alone, to help control blood glucose levels, achieve and maintain optimum weight, supply good nutrition and minimise the possibility of future diabetes complications. The book also includes an effective weight loss plan and some recipes.

Review by: drfogg on Nov. 01, 2011 :
I recently purchased Alan Shanley’s book “What on earth can I eat”. The process of buying an E-book was new to me but went surprisingly smoothly. The first thing I have to say about this book is that I wish I had read something like this ten years ago. Alan admits to not being a medical expert but he is diabetic and has immersed himself in the subject wholeheartedly.
He shares with the reader his research giving some excellent informative links to others work. More than that he is not afraid to tell us of the times things have not gone to plan. He shows the reader ways to enjoy their food, have a few treats and gives some great recipes and tips. This book will be helpful to newly diagnosed diabetics and to those like me who believed the advice of the “professionals” and assumed that they knew it all,followed the advice but after years of increasing medication and ever higher sugar levels decided that most of the medical advice is often less than helpful.
