Author Bio

The pioneering nutritionist Dr. Robert Atkins was born and raised in Ohio. He graduated from Cornell Medical School in 1955, and soon opened a private practice as a cardiologist in New York City. Concerned about his weight and general health, Atkins followed a low-carbohydrate diet with success, and soon afterward, he focused his practice on nutrition and wellness. He gained a wide national audience through appearances on the Tonight show, as well as articles in popular magazines such as Vogue. In 1972, he published his classic bestseller DR. ATKINS' DIET REVOLUTION. While his approach was popular with the general public, it was controversial in the medical community. Atkins was criticized by the American Medical Association, and by Dean Ornish, a popular diet guru and rival who advocated a diet high in grains, vegetables, and fruit. Atkins and his approach went out of popularity for a decade or so in the 1980s. Meanwhile, he founded the Atkins Center for Complementary Medicine in New York City, where he advocated a holistic, nutritional approach to health. In the 1990s, new studies seemed to vindicate some of the claims about fat in the diet, and his books were repackaged and republished. He also published ATKINS FOR LIFE, a major book. In April 2003, Dr. Atkins suffered a fall on the sidewalk outside the Atkins Center, and died after a short time in a coma. At the time of his death he had a book on both the New York Times hardcover and paperback best seller lists. Years after his death, his books still sell, the work of his foundation continues, and even his rival, Dr. Ornish, has since had positive words for some of Atkins's ideas.

Sin embargo, existe una enfermedad asesina bastante común frente a la cual tenemos mucho por hacer. Quiza se soprenda, pero la diabetes de Tipo 2 es una enfermedad epidémica que puede prevenirse casi por completo. Claro, nadie elige adquirir diabetes de manera consciente. Varios factores, algunos de los cuales-pero no todos-están bajo nuestro control, se mezclan para crear el infortunado escenario. Pero si todos cuidáramos nuestro organismo y estuviéramos atentos a los factores que podemos controlar, la epidemia de diabetes no existirla. ¿Creen que estamos sobredimensionando las cosas? De ninguna manera. De hecho, lo que esperamos haber creado con este libro es
