5.0 out of 5 stars
Practical and Complete!,
This review is from: Complete Guide to Carb Counting: How to Take the Mystery Out of Carb Counting and Improve Your Blood Glucose Control (Paperback)
I love this book!
Very thorough and complete. All the information you need is here. I like the conversational style of writing. Gives you 'self-assessments' to determine if you are ready to move on to the next step. I like that. I like that each step of the carb counting process is spelled out for you. It really gives you all the tools you need to 'do it yourself'. I like the 'How To's'; very practical. This book provides resources to find the carb counts of various foods-websites, books, etc. It is not assumed that every food you eat will be found in this book. It gives specific examples and ways to modify meals to make them healthier when eating out and at home! For example, practical tips for eating pizza!

The American Diabetes Association's Complete Guide to Carb Counting, 3rd Ed.,
This review is from: Complete Guide to Carb Counting: How to Take the Mystery Out of Carb Counting and Improve Your Blood Glucose Control (Paperback)
This book provides a step-by-step process to successfully carb count. I especially liked the table in the back that listed the carb content of various foods.
