Eating for Diabetes: A Handbook and Cookbook--With 125 Delicious, Nutritious Recipes to Keep You Feeling Great and Your Blood Glucose in Check [Paperback]

Jane Frank (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 10, 2005

Diet plays a central (even the central) role in how every person with diabetes manages his or her condition each day. While much is known about diabetes, exactly what everyone who has the condition should be eating continues to generate enormous debate among medical and nutrition professionals. Now, in Eating for Diabetes, nutritional therapist Jane Frank provides a complete overview of the best diet for people with diabetes. Based on the very latest diabetes nutrition research, Frank provides nutritional guidelines (including detailed information on the glycemic index and glycemic load), a menu planner, shopping advice, and over 125 delicious, nutritious recipes that cover every meal of the day: breakfast, snacks and drinks, soups and starters, beans and grains, poultry and fish, vegetables and salads, and desserts. Frank puts particular emphasis on fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and provides with each recipe a complete nutritional analysis, including its GI and GL levels. This all-in-one up-to-date cookbook and healthful eating guide is an important, vital new addition to the diabetes cookbook shelf.

This review is from: Eating for Diabetes: A Handbook and Cookbook--With 125 Delicious, Nutritious Recipes to Keep You Feeling Great and Your Blood Glucose in Check (Paperback)

I read this book cover to cover and recommended it to friends. I cooked some recipes and served them to my pickiest non diabetic friends. They raved about everything but the dessert. They wanted sugar for dessert! I liked that recipes are marked for glycemic index and load. They are easy to make for the uninspired cook. Watch out because occasionally an item will show up in a recipe that wasn't in the ingredients list.

After renewing it from the library to keep it longer, I decided to buy it. This book gives so much good basic information for eating for diabetes. I gained a greater understanding for food choices in general along with some great recipes. I really love this book.
