Average Reviews:

This book provides such a wealth of information to anyone who is new to the world of a diabetic. It answered so many questions that I had and didn't know where to go for the answers.
With all the new products on the market, this updated version takes the pain out of grocery shopping in the supermarket skills section.
I bought three copies....One for my mom, one for a friend and one for myself and we all agree...Bon Appetit!

The Type 2 Diabetes Diet Book, Fourth Edition Review

The Type 2 Diabetes Diet Book, Fourth Edition
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Although I haven't read any of Dr. E's book thoroughly, I have been one of his patients. In Aug. 2008 I reached 196 lbs. having been only 128 lbs. just a few years earlier. I was frustrated at the continuous weight gain despite all attempts at dieting and exercising. Finally, my gynecologist referred me to Dr. E. who diagnosed my insulin resistance, sleep deprivation, etc. and put me on a diet program. It worked. I lost 6 lbs. the first week and a safe 1.5-2 lbs. each week after and have kept the weight off. More notably, I learned that my body is, indeed, insulin resistant and that insulin was responsible for my aches and pains, fatigue, etc. On day 2, I noticed a marked difference in morning aches and pains. And, by day 3, I was able to run down the stairs in the morning without hanging on to the railing.
I know that not everyone has the opportunity to see Dr. E personally. But, I feel that if you follow his advice in this book you will lose weight and get your insulin under control. I believe this because I gave a copy of the plan to a friend who has followed it and has also had success. This plan is truly unique. At first glance it can seem like another low carb, high protein diet. But it is not. It's more like, low carb, moderate protein with some secret weapons :) Best wishes!

I have all of Holly Clegg's cookbooks and I think that "Meals On The Move" is my all time favorite. I am not the best cook and I never seem to have enough time. Everything I have made out of this book has been great....even my husbund has commented on it! I highly recommend it. If it works for me, it will work for anyone.

The Busy People's Fast and Frugal Cookbook Review

The Busy People's Fast and Frugal Cookbook
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Any cookbook really has two things going on: the book itself, and the food it produces. This cookbook has so many advantages as a book that I'd like to be able to recommend it without hesitation. Recipes are sorted by prep time, so you can decide if you have 10 minutes to whip up some Hawaiian Sweet Potato soup, and the main dishes (including soups) are presented with a full menu. The book instructs you to set a timer before starting, and then gives you all the steps, and I found that by following the directions I was indeed able to get the meals on the table before the timer rang.
Each dish has a neatly sorted grocery list, and each main dish has a list for the entire suggested meal as well. Instructions are informal yet clear, nutrition information is clearly presented, and overall the book is so user-friendly that I think anyone will be able to succeed with it.
The recipes themselves are something else again. The author refers to these dishes as "down-home cooking" like your grandma used to make, and I guess it depends where you're from. Chipped beef on toast, candied vegetables, and eggs with sauerkraut are very exotic dishes to me. We're assured that these dishes are "delicious recipes that are healthy and easy on the budget," but it's hard to think of meals as healthy when they rely so heavily on things like pie filling and canned biscuits. In fact, cans feature very largely in these meals -- canned soup, canned fruit, canned vegetables, and even canned meat.
I cooked from this cookbook for a weekend, and I certainly could have cooked fresh food more cheaply than these meals. We tried out a dessert made from graham crackers, pudding, and whipped topping which totaled $4.00 -- more than a homemade cake, and neither more healthy nor more delicious.
Still, if you don't know how to cook, or are determined not to spend more than 15 minutes getting dinner on the table, this book could save you from continual drive-through. And if this is the style of cooking you prefer, then these might be faster, cheaper, and conceivably even healthier alternatives to the way your granny cooked.

I love this book! Most diabetic cookbooks I have read or tried to use have elements that I like, but this book has them all. It's pretty, using color pictures to show off the recipes, it's so informative and offers really great information, and most importantly, the food tastes good! You do not have to eat bland, falvorless food as a diabetic! I have even given this book to friends and family as a gift and they love it as much as I do.

A good general cookbook with some of the best nutrition exchange information. Searching bookshelves, I've been surprised at how few of the books (particularly for diabetics) didn't give nutrition information in any depth. I have a relative new to diabetes and the food exchanges, counting fat grams, etc. are confusing and difficult--this was almost exactly what I wanted.

1,001 Delicious Desserts for People with Diabetes Review

1,001 Delicious Desserts for People with Diabetes
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I think the review by Kathy Anderson, who claimed that the recipes in this book have too many carbohydrates, is unfair and inaccurate. The lengthy, informative, and detailed introduction by Linda Eugene, RD, CDE, explains that "Most of the recipes do not exceed 40 grams of total carbohydrate per serving." Moreover, she discusses at length how diabetics must take a balanced and comprehensive approach to their diet, and taking a splurge on a dessert is always going to require an adjustment elsewhere in one's food intake. Last, she is very oncrete on one crucial point: "The key to including desserts in any meal plan is to focus on portion sizes.... The aim of this book is to offer dessert recipes that taste great. Serving sizes may be smaller, but your sweet tooth will be more satisfied with a small slice of something moist, creamy, and delicious that with a large slice of something dry, bitter, and tasteless." This is a book of desserts, after all--1,001 of them. I haven't made every recipe in this book, but I can vouch for the amazing variety of great recipes here--and for the fact that if you follow the book's directions regarding ingredients, meal planning, and portion control, this book can be a great complement to any diabetes-safe kitchen. Be smart, and enjoy.

I happened upon this book and thought I'd give it a shot. That was a year ago and I still use it a few times a week. The food is normal and delicious! My boyfriend loved almost everything I made from this book because it's stuff you would normally make. There are a few new things you will probably want to try, but also, if you have a favorite meal such as chicken cacciatore, beef stroganoff, or cheesecake this book has the recipe and shows you how to make it healthful and still delicious. I use the weight watchers points system and had no trouble converting recipes. It also gives exchange, fat and calorie values for dieters who use a different program. I highly recommend it! It's worth it!

This is a wonderful book. It has useful information about diabetes, including the effects of stress. It contains many useful charts. One of the best features of this book are popular recipies that have been adapted for a diabetic diet. You don't have to sacrifice enjoyment in order to eat well.
It does contain ingredients that myth declares taboo. This book will show you how to use foods in a healthy way. If you are using books that were written 10 years ago, I would replace them with this and similar books. This book is up-to-date with medical findings.

Betty Crocker's Diabetes Cookbook: Everyday Meals, Easy as 1-2-3 Review

Betty Crocker's Diabetes Cookbook: Everyday Meals, Easy as 1-2-3
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am completely baffled by this book and the reviews it has received! After only a few pages I was aghast and realized I had thrown my money away.
I am not a medical professional or scientist but all of my own personal research into diabetes and related blood disorders strongly recommend avoiding refined carbohydrates. This book is full of recipes using highly refined carbohydrates: white sugar and white flour.
I also found recipes containing an uncomfortably high percentage of calories from fat. I expected recipes emphasizing whole, low glycemic foods prepared in as close to their natural state as possible - foods that had as much of their beneficial properties (such as nutrients and fiber) intact. I was extremely disappointed by what this book had to offer and am sorry I bought it.
