1.0 out of 5 stars I'm sorry I wasted my money on this :(, August 15, 2008

First, let me say that I have really enjoyed my orginal "Lickety Split Meals" cookbook. So when I saw that there was an updated version I decided to order one for my mom's birthday back in February. I also decided to get an updated version for myself and Amazon happened to be offering a special "buy both" price for "Lickety Split Meals" and "Lickety Split Diabetic Meals" which had to be pre-ordered for it's August release. Since my dad had just been diagnosed with diabetes, and his birthday is in August, I jumped on the offer thinking how great it would be for him to have a cookbook geared especially to diabetics. Well, after waiting six months I just got the cookbook and I am SO sad and disappointed because it has the EXACT SAME recipes and tips as the regular "Lickety Split Meals" cookbook!! The only difference is the cover and the addition of about 5 tips. It would be senseless for me to give this book to my dad since it is really no different than the one my mom already has. Why Amazon decided to offer these books together, I will never know. My advice: If you already own "Lickety Split Meals" don't waste your money on this.

5.0 out of 5 stars A note from the Publisher, September 8, 2008

The writer of the first review is correct; the recipes for these two books are nearly the same except that the American Diabetes Association has evaluated Lickety-Split Diabetic Meals and posted nutritional and exchange /choice information along side each recipe --- to ensure it meets ADA guidelines for people with diabetes.

People with diabetes depend on this additional information to manage their glucose levels and to plan & prepare their meals. If you have diabetes or have a family member who does -- you'll want to purchase Lickety-Split Diabetic Meals. Foco is a registered dietitian and a certified health and fitness instructor

I have never planned meals before; I've always just cooked whatever I had on hand. But this cookbook has helped me learn to meal plan and shop for only items I need for the week. I have been using this cookbook exclusively for 12 weeks now, and we love the meals. My whole picky family is eating each night and looking forward to what is being cooked. We discuss which of that weeks meals they would like to see again and I make notes on that recipes page. The spices and veggies in the dishes really give everything great taste and help fill you up without the extra carbs or fats. With the "15 minute meals" and "30 minute meals" sections, even on busy nights I can have something ready to eat quickly. My diabetes is doing much better with these meals and the exercise Zonya (author) encourages you to do. She has even included exercise ideas for you to get out and do while the dish is baking.
