4.0 out of 5 stars
Don't believe the bad rap--eat smart and enjoy!,
By Dee (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 1,001 Delicious Desserts for People with Diabetes (Paperback)
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.

Too much sugar and carbs,

I was disappointed with the recipes. I was expecting recipes that used splenda and other products to have very reduced carbohydrates in the desserts. These looked like regular recipes to me.

Too many carbs!,
By KWAnderson "KWA" (Wilmington, NC) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: 1,001 Delicious Desserts for People with Diabetes (Paperback)
I cannot understand how anyone with diabetes or a carbohydrate intolerance of any kind could eat any of these items. They are so high in carbohydrates. I follow a low-carbohydrate regimen for health reasons (not vanity), and I could safely eat none of the recipes found in this tome. I returned the book
