Most Recipes in This Book Are Too High in Carbohydrates 2 out of 5 stars.
14 of 14 people found this review helpful.

I received this book for Christmas and it a major disappointment. I am a diabetic and very concerned about carbohydrates and associated glucose. This book strives to make every recipe as low-fat as possible, which is good as far as trying to reduce calories and aid weight loss; however, if you are diabetic and concerned with carbohydrates and glucose, it can do more harm than good. The majority of the recipes are laden with high carbohydrates such as bread crumbs, rice, potatoes, high-sugar fruits, and other items. Of the over 250 recipes, there are only 51 that I would even consider for my own use. The others are so outrageously high in carbohydrates that they could possible harm someone. The sad part is that since this book is by the American Diabetes Association, some people will think they can use any recipe in this book and be OK. In this day and age it is unconscionable not to take the total carbohydrate grams of a serving into account when compiling such a book. In my opinion, only one-fifth of the book is of value in that respect, and the other recipes could result in hyperglycemic conditions and should not be used.

Editorial Review:

What many people don't know is that flax and flax seed oil are nature's richest source of omega-3s and contain twice as much omega-3 fatty acids as fish oil products - without the aftertaste and at a more affordable price. This book reveals how this important missing nutrient in your diet can help to prevent heart disease, arthritis, chronic pain and inflammation. Flax is also an incredible rich source of a group of compounds, called 'lignans', that may prevent certain types of cancer, especially breast and prostate cancer. High quality, cold-pressed flaxseed oil has a delicious, nutty flavour, making it easy to incorporate into your diet as a salad dressing, stirred into oatmeal, mixed into yoghurt or combined with a blender drink. Learn how flax and flaxseed oil and the omega-3 fatty acids they contain can dramatically benefit and help to prevent the following conditions: heart disease; high blood pressure; multiple sclerosis; strokes; allergies; cancer; diabetes; high cholesterol levels; rheumatoid arthritis; ADHD and depression.

The Diabetes Carbohydrate and Calorie Counter 5 out of 5 stars.
7 of 7 people found this review helpful.

I was told by my doctor that I am pre-diabetic and advised to try to lower my blood sugar by diet alone. All I knew, or thought I knew, was that I should give up sugar. Speaking with a nutritionist taught me that dealing with carbohydrates was the key and I needed help. The Diabetes Carbohydrate & Calorie Counter begins with a discussion of diabetes itself, how to count carbs, plan meals, deal with eating out, specific chapters on sugar, fiber, and the glycemic index, and references to internet sites where it is possible to learn more. How to use a carbohydrate counter is discussed and finally a lengthy list not only of just about every individual food but brand name items as well. This is a comprehensive wealth of information that I find extremely helpful to have on hand. With it, I have managed to lower my blood sugar from a high of 120 to 90 and I am very pleased. I no longer feel lost at sea in dealing with my diagnosis.

Great Book especially for Diabetes! 5 out of 5 stars.

Editorial Review:

"Practical and on-target advice."-Marion J. Franz, M.S., R.D., C.D.E."Practical nutrition information with powerful health implications. . . . Carolyn Leontos takes readers by the hand and leads them step by step toward the goal of good blood glucose control."-Patti Geil, M.S., R.D., F.A.D.A., C.D.E. From the moment you or a loved one is diagnosed with diabetes, immediate changes must be incorporated into your diet because what you eat-and how you prepare what you eat-has a great impact on the progression of the disease. What to Eat When You Get Diabetes begins from that very first moment of diagnosis, acquainting you with the types of foods and meal plans ideal for people with diabetes. But as Carolyn Leontos explains, you don't have to give up your favorite foods to control-or prevent-diabetes. In this practical and reassuring resource, Leontos shows you that a diet for people with diabetes can be filled with satisfying, delicious dishes. Drawing on her extensive experience as a registered dietitian and certified diabetes educator, she combines satisfying menu suggestions, sample meal plans and recipes, and ideas on how to modify your favorite recipes with the personal stories of people living healthily with diabetes. She also addresses such confusing issues as weight loss, meal plans, calories, portion sizes, eating in restaurants, vitamins, and effectively balancing food and medication. You will discover:
* Why you don't have to give up your favorite foods
* The truth about saturated, polyunsaturated, and monounsaturated fats-and trans fatty acids
* What constitutes a balanced meal
* What to order in restaurants
* Why fat is important-and why you shouldn't eliminate it from your diet


What to Eat When You Get Diabetes takes the mystery out of good nutrition-and shows you how healthy eating can help you achieve lifelong wellness.

Great book! 4 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

Even if you are not diabetic, this is a great book to have if you want to eat healthy but still satisfy your sweet tooth. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because of the lack of pictures. The author apparently forgot that "we eat with our eyes first." Pictures would also help with preparation. It's always nice to see what your doing at critical points, not just when you're finished.

Who Knew??? 5 out of 5 stars.

Long a believer of the "I'll just take more insulin, I will NOT eat inferior foods--especially sweets" philosophy. I am amazed that one book has transformed my thinking about diabetic baking. Now that I have been an insulin dependent diabetic for 35 years I have learned that I must acquiesce a bit if I am going to go on living. Yet this wonderful book is NOT an acquiescence. The desserts here are wonderful! Co-workers are amazed to discover the delectable treats I bring to covered dish luncheons are low fat and low sugar.

You must try the Peach Coffee Cake! It, and the Almond Ricotta Cake Roll, are to die for...but you don't have to die to have them! Yee haaa!!!

Editorial Review:

You can still have your cake and eat it, too, with this new edition of a bestselling dessert book for diabetics.

For most diabetics, the hardest part of adjusting to a new way of eating is probably not being able to indulge in the desserts they once enjoyed. Now, diabetics need worry no more! Bestselling author Sandra Woodruff has completely revised and updated her popular Diabetic Dream Desserts, including new and improved recipes for cakes, cookies, brownies, pies, strudels, frozen desserts, and other sweet treats that taste better than ever.

An excellent resourse for living better 5 out of 5 stars.
28 of 31 people found this review helpful.

My family has a history of type 2 diabetes, so I wanted to know how to avoid becoming a diabetic. This book in addition to the other books especially Live Right 4 Your Type have been excellent resources to help me understand my genetic hertitage. I am an O blood type, secretor. I am amazed at how much more energetic and powerful I feel now that I have been utilizing the diet for a year now. I rarely feel fatigued now. I have increased muscle mass. Best of all, now that I have eliminated wheat products, dairy and corn from my diet, I do not have anymore cramping/pain in my colon.

I know that avoiding the 'avoid foods' is difficult. It was for me too; I had been eating a goblet of ice cream every night before going to bed and I loved OREO cookies. As we get older (I'm 40 now) however we need to leave such childish eating behavior behind us if we want to be healthy and this book is the best resource I have read to date. If you are overweight and/or diabetic and you want take eating action to solve your health condition this book is a start. I also would highly recomend working with a doctor who is IjHI (Institute for Human Individuality) Certified. These doctors specialize in treating diabetes and other preventable health conditions with this diet. These doctors are not cheap but worth every penny if you value your health. Doctors not certified are simply unaware of treatments that can solve someones diabetic condition, so they prescribe what they know short term solutions (drugs).

I love being in control of my health, my kids do too. It's not easy or cheap, but it's worth it. If you solve the problem, you live life with joy; If treat the symptoms only, you live life with agony.

The Only One You Need 5 out of 5 stars.
14 of 14 people found this review helpful.

I add my recommendation to the earlier one that you can save yourself lots of time and money by just buying this book. I recommend the hard-back version as your copy will get lots of use around the kitchen.
The explanations of the blood sugar problem and corrective methods are logical, simple and complete. The book is very well written and makes pleasant reading.
With the exception of two or three ingredients which you may have to find in a health food store, all others can be found in any grocery store.
All of the recipes thus far tried are simple and delicious.
The meal plans and recipes work without a pervasive feeling of constant hunger, which can be a problem in many other diabetic meal plans.
Following a diagnosis of pre-diabetic blood sugar level, and fortunately buying this book on a dietician's recommendation, along with half a dozen others which I rarely use, I have lost twenty pounds in the first three weeks of owning and using the book, with more coming off daily, with minimal exercise. Exercise naturally accelerates the weight loss.
A useful supplement is "No-fuss Diabetes Recipes for 1 or 2" by Boucher et al, but "The Other Diabetes" can stand alone.
The well known and documented relationship between obesity and diabetes 2 can be quickly attacked using this book.
One of the delicious breakfast recipes, Peach Almond Smoothie, will banish hunger for at least half a day, and is widely variable by substituting other frozen fruits for the peaches.
The recipes present lots of variety to accomodate different tastes.

Editorial Review:

Our national epidemic of type 2 diabetes, obesity, and heart disease is the price we pay for a diet that is too rich for our modern lifestyle. To fight back, we have focused on eating low-fat foods and quick-fix diets that just don't seem to work. The Other Diabetes, a consumer guide to type 2 diabetes, can help you change all that with the optimal eating plan. The Good Fat Diet offers a collection of eighty healthy and wholesome recipes.

I used to say I'd eat what I wanted and just take more insulin. As I have gotten older, not sure about the wiser part, I have learned I must work with my diabetes if I plan to live. This book is an invaluable tool for doing that. Great meals made easily--even after a hard day at work. I love this book and the Italian Diabetic Meals in 30 Minutes or Less, also by Webb. Buy it and enjoy some delicious and healthy meals.

Great all around cookbook! 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I originally purchased this cookbook for my Dad, who is a Type II Diabetic and normally doesn't cook much since Mom died. I flipped through it and tagged at least 15 different recipes that I wanted to try for myself. This is a great all around cookbook for several reasons:

* all of the recipes use nutritious, natural foods that are readily available
* most of the recipes call for only a few ingredients, so even those new to cooking will be successful
* the basic dishes are done in no time and can be frozen
* the recipes can be easily doubled or tripled
* it offers a delicious variety that are delightful and satisfying

I'm a professional firefighter/paramedic and I can tell you from experience that Type II Diabetes is in fact, becoming an epidemic. Firefighters have to watch what we eat as well, which is not always easy, because we need it to be fast, filling and able to withstand being reheated over and over again (since mealtime is usually interrupted). High fat, high salt and high cholesterol may be tasty, but they'll kill you. This book offers wonderful recipes that fit the bill and I should know - I've made them with fantastic results!
