I originally checked this book out of the library and, after renewing it for the max number of times, ended up purchasing it on Amazon. Not only great for the medical issues it addresses, it is also a great cookbook for healthy eating. I'm addicted to the granola bars on page 110!

So far this has been a great cook book. The red bean dip is awesome. Winter Soup was equally good, and the chocolate peanut butter cookies are supper simple. Very easy and cheap recipe ideas and I have only tried three. I think we will easily be able to change to high fiber diet with this book.

Usually I find only 1 to 5 recipes from a cookbook that are worth making more than once. I found about 25 recipes so far and I have many more to try. Well worth the money. These recipes taste good and are easy to follow. You don't have to be a great chef to make these and have them turn out well. Family members are waiting in line to borrow the book for their use.

I just was diagnosed with IBS and told by my GI to start a high fiber diet. So obviously I went looking for recipes so I knew what was considered 'high fiber". Well when I order a book that claims all the recipes are "high fiber" and see quite a few with 1g of fiber it is pretty disappointing. I just opened the book so I have not tried any of the recipes but when I see so many with such a small amount of fiber per serving and the whole book says it is recipes with high fiber I was not all that happy. Hopefully the recipes with high fiber make up for those and I will not regret making this purchase.

This book has great reciepes. My Husband has high Cholesterol and Im trying to loose some weight and this is helping.

I was careless enough to order this book for a diabetic relative taking the subtitle "Fight Diabetes etc." literally, but this is just an ordinary "healthy" cookbook, recipes full of sugar, molasses and other no-no ingredients. The space is amply used so the book is also unnecessarily bulky and even for a non-diabetic wanting to cook some "healthy" meals there are not so many interesting alternatives, usually variations of Aegean recipes and some not-really-so-healthy suggestions... Should have been more careful about misleading subtitles, my mistake!
