5.0 out of 5 stars Every diabetic should have one in their home., February 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Month of Meals: Meals in Minutes (Spiral-bound)

I really like this book. It has been extremely helpful in aiding me in preparing the correct meal plan to help me maintain control of my glucose levels by giving quick and balanced meals at a glance. The design of the book is great, it allows you to see the breakfast, lunch and dinner meals at a glance and because each meal page is separate (each page of meals is cut into three to separate each meal) you can choose a different meal than what is indicated for that day. Since the book will probably be used repeatedly the paper used is great. The gloss over the paper will help to keep the pages clean longer and not absorb the oils from your hands. This book also gives you great information on reading food labels, eating out, and the right fast foods to eat. There is so much good information in this book not only for diabetics but people who just want to eat right.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Different Kind of Cook Book, January 21, 2000

This review is from: Month of Meals: Meals in Minutes (Spiral-bound)

This is a good book, but it wasn't exactly what I was looking for. A lot of the recipes were more complicated than I was wanting. It also listed a lot of fast food options which are not "recipes". I was hoping for a lot of quick/easy/healthy recipes. It did offer some good tips for eating healthfully and some neat quick snack ideas. Still, my favorite healthy/diabetic cook book is "Diabet Meals In 30 Minutes -Or Less" by Robyn Webb.

Using this book is a no-brainer - which is what I REALLY needed. My husband was just diagnosed with Type II diabetes, and his nutritional needs are critical. We are stationed in Germany and are in the process of moving. I was disheartened when I found that the military dietician is unavailable right now. Other books were confusing - trying to figure out 30% fat calories, etc. This book saved my sanity! The spiral binding and split page design are FANTASTIC and the food is GREAT. Directions are concise and it's easy to prepare a menu and shopping list from the book. Best of all, we're getting nutritious, consistant, easy meals and snacks and half the work is done for us. Some of the books in the series even include smart choices when eating out at fast food restaurants - another bonus. When our doctor and nurses saw these books, they were AMAZED. My recomendation: get all five!
