Helped Me Through My Pregnancy

This book along with the regular change one book helped me to keep my gestational diabetes at bay. I still use the books to help others . I would definitely recommend this book to a friend.

Great diet plan that is easy to follow

Not just for diabetics! My husband is hypoglycemic and we have had wonderful results following this diet plan. He had several very frightening incidences where he crashed severely and they were very clearly a direct response to food. I turned to this book for help and since we started this diet he has not crashed once. Although I have neither health condition I decided to follow the plan too since it seems so smart and simple. The concept of dividing your meal into 1/2 vegetables, 1/4 starches or carbs, and 1/4 protein is a brilliant idea and when it comes to actually making meals this is very easy to follow. You can still eat all the food you love but sometimes the cooking method needs tweaking and you will have to change the portion sizes but you'll catch on very quickly. The transitions are easier than you think. And you'll feel better after only a few days. My husband immediately noticed a change for the better, he woke up with more energy, felt more rested, and was able to get more work done. He just feels good. Plus, we've both lost weight while still enjoying our favorite meals that needed only slight modifications. The best part, we don't feel like we're on a diet! This book will change the way you look at food, cooking methods, and portions and you'll be glad it did. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to feel better and loose weight, whether you are a diabetic or not.

Great, especially for the newly diagnosed!

I love this book! Being diagnosed with Type II Diabetes is absolutely overwhelming - there are so many new things to learn and so many changes to make in how you eat and how you LIVE! This book takes you by the hand, calms you down and shows you where to begin. The title says it all - Change One - and that's exactly how the book proceeds. Walks you through the changes you need to make one at a time so the changes will become lasting ones. Lots of good information on Type II Diabetes itself as well as on diet and exercise. And plenty of great recipes, including a section on "makeovers" for old favorites like Macaroni & Cheese. I loved this book immediately and showed it to my doctor. She was so impressed she bought a copy for her office and now recommends it to all her newly diagnosed diabetics!
