Fantastic,

This review is from: The 30-Day Diabetes Miracle Cookbook: Stop Diabetes with an Easy-to-Follow Plant-Based, Carb-Counting Diet (Mass Market Paperback)
I have tried many of the recipes in this book, and they are fantastic. They are not only delicous, but make a beautiful presentation when served. Since adopting this dietary concept, I have changed my health status from pre-diabetic back to normal. I heartily recommend this way of eating.

Recipes are OK,

This review is from: The 30-Day Diabetes Miracle Cookbook: Stop Diabetes with an Easy-to-Follow Plant-Based, Carb-Counting Diet (Mass Market Paperback)
We have been using this book for the last few months and have made some very good recipes and some not as fantastic. I began cooking for my mom who has diabetes since last summer but now that her health has improved she has been doing some of the cooking. What we DO like about this book are the simple, easy recipes. Most just have a few ingredients. It is a vegetarian (vegan) diet cookbook which she has been following for the most part. What I DON'T like is that most of the main dishes and desserts call for tofu which I recently discovered I am allergic to. We DO enjoy the dips and sauces, like the Spinach-Artichoke dip (my mom's favorite) and Pimento Cheese Sauce (which is vegan). All in all we have gleaned a few good recipes from this book but not as many as we had hoped.

A cookbook with quick-and-easy vegetarian meals that really satisfy and keep me healthy!
Spectacular, delicious recipes with easy to follow instructions. So well-written, it's as if it was made just for me. Also try The 30-Day Diabetes Miracle: Lifestyle Center of America's Complete Program to Stop Diabetes, Restore Health,and Build Natural Vitality

This is the best vegan cook book I have seen. The list of cooking terms, equipment and ingredients is so helpful. All the information about calories, carbs, etc is right there for each recipe. The recipes produce such tasty foods for vegans and vegan wantabes.

Superbly Delicious!,
By SPeater (Chattanooga, TN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The 30-Day Diabetes Miracle Cookbook: Stop Diabetes with an Easy-to-Follow Plant-Based, Carb-Counting Diet (Mass Market Paperback)
The only reason I gave this cookbook 4 stars instead of 5 is because quite a few of the recipes take quite a bit of time to make. However, the time is worth it! I've tried the majority of the recipes after owning the book for about 6 months and I think they are superbly delicious!
All of the recipes are vegan (if you're wondering). I've always been very skeptical whenever I heard the term "Vegan." But after I heard about how good vegan eating could be for diabetics I decided to give it a try. I'm not, and probably won't ever be completely vegan, but I use this recipe book at home nearly every day. Now to the Diabetes part. I'm fairly new at this game and so for the past two weeks I've been checking my blood sugar levels before and after every meal (6x/day). The foods used have lower Glycemic Indexes and because of that the recipes did wonders to my B.S. levels. Buy it! You'll love it!

WOW, something finally works,
This review is from: The 30-Day Diabetes Miracle Cookbook: Stop Diabetes with an Easy-to-Follow Plant-Based, Carb-Counting Diet (Mass Market Paperback)
I got my spouse on this and got normal numbers in 3 days. The numbers until now have been out of control. The diet can be a little hard at first since its new. I also think they could of included spicier dishes, more Asian, Mexican, and Indian. These all have great meals that work great with this diet.
After trying this diet, there is no way you can go back to your wrong eating habits, the results are so good. Also I am not diabetic, but have lost lots of bully fat on this and never hungry anymore. I love it. Thanks.

Life Changer,

This review is from: The 30-Day Diabetes Miracle Cookbook: Stop Diabetes with an Easy-to-Follow Plant-Based, Carb-Counting Diet (Mass Market Paperback)
This recipe book has what you need to get started on a major new way of life - lots of recipes (almost all fabulous), and a four-week menu. By the time you have gone through the meal plans you'll know what you like, and you'll know how to cook ahead.
Like anything new, and a new food lifestyle is major, it takes time to gain experience and develop new tastes, but 'The 30-Day Diabetes Miracle Cookbook' makes the transition as painless as it can be. Get the hardcover book 'The 30-Day Diabetes Miriacle' too, if you have daibetes. It will explain where your disease came from, how it affects your body, and why this plan can reverse the effects or even cure you! My wife was diagnosed with diabetes, and now has normal blood glucose readings each and every day. I don't have diabetes, but have followed the plan, and have lost 25 lbs. in two months. I have another 50 lbs. to lose, and I actually believe it will happen. Thank-you LCA (read the book to learn about them).

Useful but very extreme,
By

This review is from: The 30-Day Diabetes Miracle Cookbook: Stop Diabetes with an Easy-to-Follow Plant-Based, Carb-Counting Diet (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a strict vegan-based plan without any dairy. It is clearly very good for anyone with diabetes, and I don't dispute the reviews that extol its effectiveness and, for vegan food, taste. However, it is a very extreme diet. Breakfasts include such oddities as chili and pinto beans. Lunches are almost impossible for working people, as they involve the most complex cooking for the day. Dinners are even more difficult, consisting almost always of only a small, one-cup serving of soup and a small salad. If someone served it all to me, and I was in a protected environment, it would be terrific. But living in the real world and eating like this is something I, for one, can only sustain for short periods of time. And, like all vegan make believe, we are told things like tofu "eggs benedict" and other made up substitutions, are "just as good" or "better" than the real thing. Well, if you live in a cave and prepare your food on a rock, it might be. Otherwise, you just have to pretend a lot and let your lower blood sugar compensate for everything missing here. It's worth it, but it's a lot of work.

Lost Weight!,

This review is from: The 30-Day Diabetes Miracle Cookbook: Stop Diabetes with an Easy-to-Follow Plant-Based, Carb-Counting Diet (Mass Market Paperback)
My husband has been pre-diabetic for many years and in December was diagnosed with Type II diabetes. We had been on a modified protein/fat and low carb diet but that hadn't helped. So I found this book and have been using it since mid-December. I have lost over ten pounds and my husband has lost close to twenty pounds. Being from the Midwest, he has always been a meat and potatoes guy. But he LOVES most of the recipes in this book and says they are not boring. We go to his diabetes doctor this next week so I am looking forward to what he has to say. Additionally, this way of eating is healthier, not just for humans, but for the planet as well not to be eating meat, and it's less expensive too!
