"Diet" books
Seth Roberts book, Shrangri-La Diet, is very popular. Now he recommends Spectrum Walnut Oil (keep it in the refrigerator). Use fructose, not sugar.
Dr. Joel Fuhrman is an MD with a general practice but deals with many diabetics. His approach is very simple: eat lots of greens, fruit, and beans.
Be careful of foods with high glycemic load (this is different than glycemic index).
Revised International Table of Glycemic Index (GI) and Glycemic Load (GL) Values--2002, by David Mendosa
15 out of 16 published studies found that the consumption of low-glycemic index foods delayed the return of hunger, decreased subsequent food intake, and increased satiety (feeling full) when compared to high-glycemic index foods (14). The results of several small short-term trials (1-4 months) suggest that low-glycemic load diets result in significantly more weight or fat loss than high-glycemic load diets.
