Tasty recipes, helpful carb info for diabetics and dieters

I bought this book to help with my husband's diabetes and was far from disappointed! The authors do a good job explaining the effect of carbohydrates on diabetes, then follow up with over 100 recipes. The ones we've tried have won rave reviews from everyone in my family. My husband's dietician and doctor have told us that it's not necessary to avoid juice and white flour; it's more important to be consistent with the amount of carb. Each recipe in this book is clearly marked with the carb content. We've found it to be a very helpful.

A great book -- just what I've been looking for!

I found this book to be very helpful and practical! It helped me understand which foods contain carbohdyrate and how to count the carbohydrates that I eat. The recipes that I've tried have been simple to prepare and tasty! I especially like the unique index which lists all the recipes by how much carbohydrate they contain. The sample menus gave me ideas on how to plan meals. If you are counting carbs - look no further! This is a great book!

Helpful info; quick and easy recipes for the whole family

At last, a "diabetic" cookbook that lives up to it's promise of tasty recipes for the whole family. I have been looking for a cookbook with recipes that are good for my diabetes, but doesn't require me to make a separate meal for the rest of the family. We all enjoyed "Western Style Chicken Pizza" and "Cinnamon Apple Raisin Slaw".The "Cream Filled Chocolate Cupcakes" were wonderful! The first part of the book explains the basics of carbohydrate counting, which is the diet plan my doctor thinks is best for me to keep my diabetes under control.It even includes a sample record keeping page which I can xerox to keep all my food, medicine and blood sugar information in one place. I also liked the index, which has the recipes listed according to number of carbohydrate grams and choices. I haven't seen anything like this in all the diabetes cookbooks I've bought. All in all, a very helpful book which I will use often!
