Eric Adams's Healthy At Last recounts how the Brooklyn Borough President reversed his type 2 diabetes through a plant-based diet, losing 35 pounds and restoring vision damaged by the disease. Adams, who later became Mayor of New York City, discovered after his diagnosis that lifestyle changes could be as powerful as medication. The book combines memoir with practical guidance, describing Adams's journey from childhood food habits shaped by poverty to adult illness to recovery. He addresses the particular challenges facing Black Americans, who suffer disproportionately from diet-related diseases and often live in food deserts without access to fresh produce. Adams offers meal planning strategies, restaurant tips, and over 50 recipes developed with nutritionists. He is honest about the difficulty of changing lifelong habits and the social pressure to eat unhealthfully. Healthy At Last is part health book, part political argument; Adams contends that diet-related disease is a public health crisis requiring policy intervention as well as individual action. The book draws on his experience as an elected official working to improve nutrition in schools and public institutions. Essential reading for anyone considering a plant-based diet or seeking to understand the connections between food, health, and equity.
