Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Eating Soulfully and Healthfully with Diabetes is a comprehensive guide that provides nutrition information and carbohydrate-counts for foods that will appeal to African Americans who suffer from diabetes.

Author Constance Brown-Riggs, a certified diabetes educator with over twenty-five years of experience, shares her vast knowledge of nutrition and dietetics in order to encourage African Americans to prepare and enjoy traditional ethnic fare from the American South and the Caribbean while maintaining normal glucose levels and healthy food intake. As she encourages all people with diabetes to shed pounds, improve food choices, and exercise, Brown-Riggs provides important resources and valuable tips:

  • A description of the Diabetes Soul Food Pyramid
  • An extensive listing of traditional foods from the South and Caribbean
  • Fast food and brand-name nutrient information and label-reading advice
  • A two-week soul food menu plan and sample food diary
  • A glossary of food terms
  • Tips for upscale dining

Eating Soulfully and Healthfully with Diabetes will not only provide life-saving information for people with diabetes but will also educate their families and serve as an excellent resource for health care providers and diabetes and dietetics professionals.

5.0 out of 5 stars A terrific book., December 18, 2006
As a registered dietitian, I am always on the lookout for practical, user-friendly books to recommend to friends, clients, and the lay public. Here, Constance Brown-Riggs has come up with a winner. This book is a comprehensive resource for those who are plagued by or at high risk for diabetes. Addressing the particular needs and preferences of African Americans, the author provides instruction and education without being preachy for those who wish to take charge of their lives and fight diabetes with diet. She makes following a healthful, disease-fighting diet for life easy. The exchange lists are particularly helpful. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Rosemary Caspary, MS, RD, LDN, February 25, 2007
I found "Eating Soulfully and Healthfully with Diabetes" a wonderful resource with clear-cut guidelines to follow for African Americans and other people with type 2 diabetes. Constance Brown-Riggs made each chapter build on the last, answering many common questions. As a registered dietitian, I highly recommend this book--a first step in understanding the important dietary and lifestyle factors and learning practical and useful diet and food information.
