5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what the Dietician ordered!, August 6, 2006

sandstress (Maple Heights, OH) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Official Pocket Guide to Diabetic Exchanges (Paperback)

This is exactly what my dietician wrote up for me to follow yet in a condensed, easy to follow, easy to tote reference. It outlines a basic plan for eating. For me, knowing the amount of calories per serving for each of the food groups really helped.

By following these healthful habits, I was able to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight (lost over 30 pounds in 8 weeks) while eating 1500 to 1800 calories without feeling hungry or deprived. Working out 6 weeks prior to following this plan (and prior to meeting with a dietician) without changing my diet brought no weight loss even though my fitness level increased.

This pocket guide isn't just for diabetics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Pocket Guide, October 27, 2002

Fred "mrdata22" (Sacramento, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Official Pocket Guide to Diabetic Exchanges (Paperback)

This is the pocket version of the American Diabetes Association Exchange Diet Plan. Although it is not comprehensive, it does give examples of enough foods in each category to be able to determine the exchanges for other foods which are not listed. Also contains a section on Combination foods and Fast foods.
