A number of my patients and blog readers have asked for a more comprehensive presentation of the Ketogenic Mediterranean Diet. The KMD, as you may be aware, is the basis for the Low-Carb Mediterranean Diet. Both of them are in Conquer Diabetes and Prediabetes: The Low-Carb Mediterranean Diet.
Odd cover, huh?
The new book is geared for folks who don’t have diabetes, but want to lose weight with a very-low-carb diet. It’s called KMD: Ketogenic Mediterranean Diet. Readers of Conquer Diabetes and Prediabetes will get nothing out of the new book: they’ve seen it all before. Here’s the book description from Amazon.com:
Dr. Steve Parker presents the world’s first low-carbohydrate Mediterranean diet. Nutrition experts for years have recommended the healthy Mediterranean diet. It’s linked to longer life span and reduced rates of heart attack, stroke, cancer, diabetes, and dementia. Dr. Parker (M.D.) has modified the Mediterranean diet to help you lose excess weight while retaining most of the healthy foods in the traditional Mediterranean diet. What’s the secret? Cut back on the fattening carbohydrates such as concentrated sugars and refined starches.
You’ll discover how to manage your weight without exercise, without hunger, without restricting calories, while eating fish, meat, chicken, vegetables, fruits, wine, olive oil, nuts, and cheese.
The book includes advice on how to avoid weight regain, instruction on exercise, a week of meal plans, special recipes, a general index, a recipe index, and scientific references. All measurements are given in both U.S. customary and metric units. This low-carbohydrate Mediterranean diet is included also in Dr. Parker’s Advanced Mediterranean Diet (2nd edition) and Conquer Diabetes and Prediabetes. Are you finally ready to lose weight while eating abundantly and without counting calories?

Diabetic Mediterranean Diet 
I just purchased your book and like it; it will be a valuable tool in my wieght loss plan as well as keeping diabetes at bay. My family has a strong history and I’m commited to do everthing possible to prevent it from happening to me. In a few days by blood sugars have already leveled out, not that they were extremely high. I will be anxious to have an A1c after 6 months on the plan. From experience I know low carb is the way to eat but occasionally I fall off the bandwagon and your book and this website have given me the push to get back on the plan. Not to mention that I love cheese and wine and don’t want to live on a plan that doesn’t allow me some of lifes little pleasures.
Thanks, Donna. I hope the plan works for you.
Best wishes,
-Steve
