Proper meal planning is more than a just good nutritional practice for a healthy lifestyle. For diabetics, proper eating is a vital element and mandatory aspect for the care and control of their medical condition. Now in an updated and expanded second edition, the American Diabetes Association's Magic Menus For People With Diabetes continues to be a complete and authoritative reference and resource for complete meal planning offering diabetes appropriate menus for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. Clear and concise directions are provided for adjusting calorie levels to individual needs. Also provided are carb totals for each meal and snack because keeping carb totals consistent affects keeping blood glucose levels in check. From Easy Spud Breakfast; Veggie Pizza; and Chicken-Fried Steak with Pan Gravy; to Light and Creamy Yogurt Pie; Bean Burgers; and Macedonia Fruit Cup, Magic Menus For People With Diabetes will prove to be a popular addition to any diabetic's cookbook collection.

I have recommended this book for quite a few people, and have bought it to give my friends who are diabetic, or who just need to lose weight. It's good for weight loss, too.

After using this book for over 6 months, I found the recipes were high in fat and calories. The pre-planned menus are wonderful and easy to use and most of the recipes tasted good, but I have mostly quit using it because I have other cookbooks and recipes that are much more in the diabetic realm.

I am new to diabetes and needed to figure out a plan on how to eat this book was just what I needed.

I would recommend this book for everyone even if you're not a diabetic. The ease of using it is wonderful It takes the guess work out of want to eat and how much. It starts with a very good calorie recommendation of 1500 and you can adjust up to 2200 for you needs. The food is down to earth nothing that you have to spend hours in the kitchen preparing and there are some great recipes. It's just plain healthy eating.

I absolutely loved this book! The recipes are tasty and easy to make. I Highly recommend this book to anyone. You must try the "Angel Biscuits" as they are to die for*****
