Not just for diabetics
This book isn't just for diabetics; it's for anyone who wants to learn how to put together a nutritionally sound diet.

You'll come away understanding the Food Pyramid, daily requirements (for starches, carbs, protein, fats; with a explanation of difference between carbs and starches), calorie requirements, glycemix index & load, supplements, reading labels, portion sizes and simple ways to incorporate all this information into your daily life.

I don't understand why this isn't a dieting or nutrition bestseller. Absolutely outstanding

A useful guide to meal planning
As a newly diagnosed diabetic, I have had a hard time figuring out what to eat and how to plan a meal, how do I know how much to eat, how to combine foods. It all boiled down to: "What can I eat?" This is not the only source I have used but this is the book that had all of the most accurate information and recommended guidelines. I did not like many, okay most, of the meal planning suggestions but I have been able to take that info and plan my meals based on the foods I do like. I've also tried a greater variety of foods and recipes in order to incorporate the meal planning goals in this book. I'm a long way from where I need to be but this book is an excellent tool to help me get there and I thoroughly recommend it.
