Diabetes was responsible for killing in 2014. By this time tomorrow, approximately 12,500 people around the world will have died due to the disease.
There’s no doubt, those are scary and sobering statistics. Death is inevitable for all of us, but the sad fact with diabetes is that the vast majority of cases and deaths are actually preventable.
Of the two forms of diabetes, type 2 is the most common by far, and it is often referred to as a “lifestyle disease”, because while age and genetics play a factor, it is normally triggered by living a fairly sedentary life, being overweight, making poor dietary choices, and failing to exercise sufficiently.
Unfortunately, knowing that diabetes can be prevented is not particularly helpful to the 390 million-or-so people already living with the disease and its consequences on a daily basis. Commonly prescribed medication for the treatment of diabetes cannot eliminate the disease. Those people with diabetes are therefore left to attempt to manage their condition and symptoms for the rest of their lives.
But what if you could reverse your type 2 diabetes by using an entirely natural and proven approach to defeating the disease? An empty promise perhaps?
Maybe not.
Yuri Elkaim, a New York Times bestselling author and renowned nutritionist, has helped thousands of type 2 diabetes sufferers completely reverse the disease and reclaim their lives for the past 13 years.
On the back of his client successes, Yuri has developed the “Defeating Diabetes Kit,” a holistic approach to completely defeat type 2 diabetes naturally without medication or any of its nasty side effects.
Today, in our Defeating Diabetes Kit review, we take a look at Yuri’s program to see if it lives up to its promise and to see if it’s as effective as he claims.
Let the review begin…
Yuri graduated from the University of Toronto with a Bachelor of Physical Education and went on to study at the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition to become a registered holistic nutritionist and kinesiologist.
Over a period of 15 years, he has become a prominent health and nutrition expert, developing some of the most well-known fitness and nutrition programs in the industry. His “All Day Energy Diet” was a #2 New York Times best seller, and you may have also seen him on the Dr. Oz Show and The Doctors, or perhaps read some of his articles on sites such as , , or .
Yuri’s connection with diabetes and his efforts to help those with the disease stems from his own father’s diagnosis of type 2 diabetes at the age of 45. His father adopted the techniques Yuri teaches in the Defeating Diabetes Kit, reversed his diabetes, and reclaimed his health.
Broadly speaking, the Defeating Diabetes Kit is a unique nutrition and exercise program that is based on proven scientific research and clinical studies. At the core of the system is what Yuri refers to as a “super starch” – or what is otherwise known as “resistant starch.”
Typically when we think of starches, we immediately think of carbohydrates which diabetics are typically advised to limit in their diet.
Some carbohydrates are rapidly digested and absorbed as glucose into the body through the small intestine and subsequently used for short-term energy needs or stored. Other forms of carbohydrates that contain resistant starch, actually resist digestion and instead pass through to the large intestine. These carbohydrates then feed the friendly bacteria in the gut and boost the quantity and quality of these probiotics.
What does this all mean? Well in short, resistant starch has been found to:
Yuri provides a detailed explanation of how resistant starch works and its benefits which you can find . Of great interest to many consumers is the fact that, when detailing how his program works, Yuri also provides a detailed list of the scientific studies and clinical trials which show the benefits of resistant starch.
References to additional scientific research and studies are included in the program materials as well, but for those people who are understandably cautious when presented with bold claims of a cure for a previously incurable disease, there is the opportunity to review the science first, and then make up your own mind before purchasing the program.
Upon independent review of the prevailing science on resistant starch, it is clear that resistant starch plays an overwhelmingly positive role in addressing many of the underlying features of type 2 diabetes. It also has a number of other significant health benefits, not least of all within the digestive system.
If you’re interested in obtaining a detailed oversight of the health properties of resistant starch and the science behind it, the highly respected journal has published an in-depth article on the topic.
In addition to “super starch”, the Defeating Diabetes Kit also focuses on the critical importance that exercise plays in the prevention and permanent reversal of diabetes. These are not controversial positions at all, with both science and medical fraternities in agreement. has a similar impact on the body as insulin.
On the wall of every muscle cell are special receptors, like doors, that allow glucose to pass from the bloodstream to the muscle. These doors do not open unless they are unlocked by insulin. During exercise, the doors swing open easily, allowing more and more glucose to enter the muscle where it is burned up for energy.
While also advocating the benefits of aerobic exercise, the Defeating Diabetes Kit concentrates on resistance training which has proven health benefits for diabetes sufferers. have also shown that resistance training is equal to aerobic exercise in improving the way in which the body uses insulin.
The health benefits of resistant starch and exercise are well documented online and widely accepted within the scientific community. The strong scientific foundation underpinning the Defeating Diabetes Kit sets it apart from many other so-called “miracle programs” on the market which promise much, but ultimately fail to deliver.
There is certainly a great deal of comfort for consumers knowing that the methods adopted in Yuri’s program have already been proven effective.
The Defeating Diabetes Kit is a step-by-step comprehensive nutrition and exercise program that contains four separate components:
Each component is accessible online in the form of downloadable eBooks (PDF files). There is also a video component to the course (mp4 format) and audio component (mp3 format).
For the next part of this Defeating Diabetes Kit review, let’s take a detailed look at each component below.
The first component of the Defeating Diabetes Kit is a 17 page report where Yuri explains in detail the science behind how resistant starch works to improve a person’s health and promotes weight loss. There is also a comprehensive list of commonly found foods that are rich in resistant starch and a specific guide on how much should be eaten on a daily basis in order to achieve the optimum results.
This section of the program is 43 pages in length and is Yuri’s tried and tested nutritional plan for defeating diabetes. It includes:
As the name suggests, this is a cookbook where Yuri provides an additional 20 recipes that are based on whole foods. All are low on the glycemic index and quick to prepare. Recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included.
While much of the Defeating Diabetes Kit focuses on nutritional aspects of eliminating the disease, Yuri does spend some time stressing the importance of exercise in the lives of diabetics and pre-diabetics.
The Iso Burn “No Movement” Workout is a 20-minute workout which Yuri has personally developed for those people looking to prevent or eliminate diabetes from their lives. It is extremely unique in that it requires no movement and instead relies on “isometric” training techniques. It is essentially a form of resistance training which is ideally suited to those who suffer from diabetes.
The workout program is available in mp3 audio for easy download. There is also a video presentation (mp4 format) where Yuri shows you how to safely perform each of the exercises, and an eight page instructional manual containing an instructional sheet and diagrams of how to perform each particular exercise.
The cookbook contains 67 recipes based on the guidelines of Yuri’s bestselling book “The All-Day Energy Diet.” They are all gluten and dairy-free, low in sugar, and designed to give you energy and many other associated health benefits. Preparation time for most of the recipes is less than 15 minutes, and there are links included to a meal planner and video instructions for each of the recipes in the cookbook.
There are, however, other suggested exercise activities contained in the program which can be used by people who may be unable to perform the isometric exercises due to their pre-existing conditions. An inability to perform the Iso Burn Workout exercises will not prevent you from being able to successfully rid yourself of diabetes with the assistance of this program. It may just take a little more patience and time.
From an exercise perspective, the recommended duration is limited to one hour per week and in terms of the nutritional side of the program, there is no radical change in diet required. There is just the addition of a few extra foods to your diet that will boost your intake of resistant starch to scientifically recommended levels. So in terms of effort, it certainly doesn’t require you to become a gym junkie or spend every waking minute sourcing and preparing food.
In addition to the Defeating Diabetes Kit, Yuri also offers users a 30-day free trial membership to his popular Super Nutrition Academy.
The Super Nutrition Academy is a 12 month online course designed to arm you with everything you need to know about the complex relationship between food and your health. It is not a weight-loss diet, but rather an educational course that is intended to make it easy to understand and master all aspects of your diet and health.
Access to the course is available via a private online members’ area (the “Campus”). Membership details are emailed immediately once you opt in to join the free trial.
Membership entitles you to the following:
Here’s a brief overview of what you can expect from each component available in the Super Nutrition Academy:
The course consists of 12 separate modules dedicated to one specific area of nutrition and health. Each module features four separate lessons consisting of:
Yuri also provides a few fun and simple “action assignments” for you to complete at the end of each lesson which are designed to reinforce the important concepts taught during the course.
The broad themes of each module are as follows:
Two bonuses are also included in the course materials each month:
The course content for each module is only released monthly after the lessons in the previous module have been completed. Yuri explains that this is to avoid information overload and to give students an opportunity to fully understand each module before commencing the next.
In this section of the Super Nutrition Academy, Yuri provides a series of Special Reports on the most “cutting-edge and in-demand topics within health and nutrition”. Some of these topics are touched upon in various modules of the course. However, each of these reports goes into much greater detail on each particular topic.
Special Reports are constantly being updated and added, but at the time of writing this Defeating Diabetes Kit review, they currently include:
With the posting of each month’s modules, there is a comment based area beneath each lesson. This allows students to post questions and interact with other students. All questions are answered by Yuri himself!
The object of the Super Nutrition Academy course is to remove a lot of the confusion that often exists about nutrition and health. There can often be contradictory advice online and elsewhere that makes it difficult to assess what’s good for you and what’s not. Yuri provides an unbiased analysis of the key aspects of diet and health and explains, in simple terms, much of the widely accepted science surrounding the various concepts taught.
A lot of misconceptions about the food and dieting industries are exposed, and the lessons taught will definitely make you look at food and nutrition in a different light. The ability to trial the course, free of charge, for 30-days is a great way to let you see if the course is something you want to continue with in the longer term.
The trial membership to the Super Nutrition Academy is completely optional, and you can proceed with purchasing just the Defeating Diabetes Kit on its own if you wish.
If you decide to continue with your Super Nutrition Academy membership at the conclusion of the initial 30-day trial, you will be charged a low monthly fee for the duration of the course. You can easily cancel your membership during either the trial period or any time thereafter. Membership can be cancelled either online or by telephone.
Since you started reading this Defeating Diabetes Kit review, somewhere around the world between 90 and 130 people have died due to the health complications caused by their diabetes. It’s frightening to think that many of those deaths were preventable.
The good news is that you, or a loved one you know with diabetes, can become a part of a different set of statistics. You or they can be one of thousands who have been able to free themselves from the grip and shackles of diabetes and resume their normal life courtesy of the Defeating Diabetes Kit.
Yuri’s treatment program is completely non-invasive, safe, natural, and most importantly backed by the latest scientific research and clinical studies. This is all great news, and what will no doubt be of great relief to many diabetes sufferers is that the program is designed to work regardless of your age or how long you’ve been afflicted with the disease.
Diabetes can take a physical and emotional toll on not only those diagnosed with the disease, but family members and friends as well. Yuri Elkaim has walked a similar path watching his father battle and ultimately overcome diabetes. His reputation in the nutrition and health industry is second-to-none, providing great confidence to those desperate for a solution to this chronic disease.
The Defeating Diabetes Kit provides new hope for those wanting to live a healthy life free of the disease, and judging by its popularity and success, it’s most definitely worthy of your consideration.
Thanks for taking time out of your day to read this all-inclusive review of Yuri Elkaim’s Defeating Diabetes Kit. We hope you found it helpful.
