5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful info; quick and easy recipes for the whole family, May 27, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Carbohydrate Counting Cookbook (Paperback)

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!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not just for diabetes- works for weight loss too!, November 27, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Carbohydrate Counting Cookbook (Paperback)

Although this book is aimed at people with diabetes, a friend who is following a low carbohydrate diet to lose weight recommended it to me. It's full of fast family recipes and the amount of carbohydrate in each serving is highlighted. Many of the recipes have 0 carbohydrate. I am using "The Carbohydrate Counting Cookbook" to help me lose weight- and it's working!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book -- just what I've been looking for!, August 7, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Carbohydrate Counting Cookbook (Paperback)

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!
