GI Index

This is a great book I really enjoy going through it. Has helped me alot

For a Fit and Fabulous Family

Fun, healthy food for the entire family. Not too difficult to prepare for busy moms and dads, either. Kids should love most of it, although the look and textures may be off-ptting for some.

Good ideas for eating healthy

We're trying to eat a healthier diet as a family, so I've been hunting for cookbooks to help. A lot of recipes in this category would be too "weird" for my kids to try--they'd just turn up their noses at it. This cookbook offers many kid-friendly recipes, plus has a chapter on helping your kids eat a healthier diet in general. The only complaint I have is that the dinner section falls back on some of those "weird" recipes that I know my kids would never touch, plus many recipes that call for some unusual ingredients like lamb--not a staple in my corner of the world.

Great product

Living with Diabetes in the family becomes a challenge for meal planning, at times. This book gives a refreshing new look at easy to make, delicious meals

The New Glucose Revelution

This book helped me to eat right. I was a pre-diabetic weighing 235 lbs. Since following this book's guidelines in August, 2007, my blood glucose now is less than a 100, my weight has dropped to 188 pounds, and my trouser size has gone from a 42 to a 36. I highly recommend this book to anyone with heart trouble, diabetes, to anyone wanting to live a health lifestyle.
