4.0 out of 5 stars Very good menus and recipes, March 1, 2001

This review is from: Magic Menus: For People With Diabetes (Paperback)

This book is as advertised (actually, has more variety and more actually usable recipes without a lot of specialty ingredients or weird things the kids in the family will refuse than I expected).

75 Dinners, 50 Lunches, 50 Breakfasts and 30 Snacks.

Not a good book for Type 2 diabetics lmiting carbs (each meal is 50 grams of carbohydrates or more)--and definitely not for low carb dieters limiting themselves to 20 carbs a day.

The intent of the book is to take some of the guess work out of meal planning. It fails to get 5 stars from me because I would prefer nutrition counts for each recipe instead of for each menu, probably unfair of me given book title but my family needs count exact carbohydrates and does not use the exchange system.
