Amazon.com Review

From the first glance it's clear that this diabetes cookbook is different: the recipes are in large print. It's also different because each recipe makes one or two servings--no waste, no leftovers--for people with diabetes who are living alone or with one other person. No-Fuss Diabetes Recipes for 1 or 2 presents 125 recipes--both traditional and ethnically diverse--that "match good taste with good health" and don't require odd, hard-to-find ingredients. Each major section (breakfast, lunch, dinner) opens with 5 quick recipes that require no more than 8 ingredients and no more than 20 minutes to prepare. Most recipes are modifications of foods you've always liked: Huevos Rancheros, several types of muffins, Black Bean Burritos, Sweet and Sour Chicken, Chocolate Pudding, Scallop Fettuccini. Some are more quirky: Blueberry Fruit Pizza (not pizza at all, but a breakfast item made with pita bread, fat-free cream cheese, apricot preserves, walnuts, and blueberries), Sweet Potato Lunch, Lentil Spaghetti, and Middle Eastern Muffin Burgers (ground beef, couscous, and applesauce). Nutritional breakdown includes calories, carbohydrate, protein, fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, and fiber. --Joan Price

5.0 out of 5 stars No fuss Diabetic Recipes for 1 or 2, December 3, 1999

By 

charlotte kilburn (Tennessee) - See all my reviews

This review is from: No-Fuss Diabetes Recipes for 1 or 2: 125 Healthy & Delicious Meals and Desserts (Paperback)

This is an excellent book of recipes that taste so good and are easy to make for diabetics and others. The authors are registered dietitians and a nutrient analysis is provided for each of the recipes.

I bought the book for my mother-in-law who is diabetic and decided to keep it myself because the recipes are so good and so easy.

It also has a section to help diabetics with planning their meals to meet their meal plan.

I am a second year dietetic intern who will definitely recommend this book for my clients when I begin practicing in May 2000.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easily lives up to its name., August 20, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: No-Fuss Diabetes Recipes for 1 or 2: 125 Healthy & Delicious Meals and Desserts (Paperback)

I am so pleased to have found this book. Type II runs in our family, and I'm trying to prevent it, by being careful about carbs, and balancing them with protein. All the balancing work is done for you. Great to find a cookbook with easy recipes that taste good, and you won't have to eat it all week! It was just what I had been looking for. I've only had it a few days, and have already tried several recipes. And these easy recipes make you realize how easy it could be to create your own variations. As a singleton, I'm glad things serve one or two, and it gives me a better idea of what a right-sized portion should be.

3.0 out of 5 stars high-carb/low-fat, September 12, 2001

By 

Type 2 Reader (Littleton, MA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: No-Fuss Diabetes Recipes for 1 or 2: 125 Healthy & Delicious Meals and Desserts (Paperback)

There seems to be two camps developing in the type 2
comunity, those who follow the traditional ADA high-carb
and low-fat way-of-life and those who follow the
low-carb, higher protein/fat way. This book is in the
high-carb group. Since I'm keeping my BG's 2hrs post
meal near the pre-meal targets (<120), the meals here
did not help me. Your milage may vary.
