Review

This sugarless cookbook for everyone provides over 200 natural food recipes that can be used to make the hypoglycemic's life more enjoyable. Recipes include entrees, vegetables and salads, dressings, sauces, dips, soups, desserts, snacks, breads and beverages. There is also a list of foods categorized by carbohydrate content. The guiding principle in these recipes is the avoidance of sugar and other highly refined foods such as white flour, the use of which cases the hypoglycemic's blood sugar to fluctuate too rapidly.

The book is attractively designed, resourceful use is made of public- domain illustrations to enhance the pages, and everything is written in a playful, upbeat style. -- Providence Bookstore Newsletter, September, 1989

5.0 out of 5 stars IT's THE BEST ON THE SUBJECT!, March 24, 1999

By A Customer

If you want to know more about the subject of hypoglycemia and you want to hear it from someone who's experienced it EDWARD KRIMMEL does a wonderful job with the help of his wife Patricia. I just found out I had Hypoglycemia in January after years and years of suffering. It's been a blessing for me finding out what was wrong finally. Their diet is awesome too. I've never felt better. Plus what better person to hear about the subject from than another Hypoglycemic. He has felt all the symptoms of all the sufferers and has insights that only a hypoglycemic could come across to make your day better every single HOUR. Enjoy it and learn all about the body and why it's ALL MESSED UP! Chuck Love

5.0 out of 5 stars This is an important book!, May 23, 1999

By A Customer

I teach cooking. I also have a husband who suffers severely from hypoglycemia. I highly recommend this book as a companion to The Low Blood Sugar Handbook. Both are awesome resources and invaluable at establishing a life of focus an healing. I am constantly amazed at how few books there are about Hypoglycemia as it is such a devasting condition to deal with. The book Protein Power by Dr. Eades, is also a wonderful tool. Though not focued solely on this issue it is still a powerful tool on strengtheing the diet and life choices outlined in the Krimmels book(s).

These are a must have for anyone connected with this illness. Wonderfully supportive, and richly written.

5.0 out of 5 stars finally, October 11, 1999

By	Donna G. Long (california) - See all my reviews

As an athlete and having a high complex carbo diet I developed hypoglycemia. The diagnosis took a full year and developed into major problems. The greatest find was this cookbook! What do I eat? I now have something to help me. I have a family of 5 who can also benefit from this book.
