From the Back Cover
When you were diagnosed with diabetes, did you get advice to avoid sugar and lose weight with no further guidance? Were you ever given a preprinted meal plan prescribing a certain number of calories a day, but you didn't know what to do next? This book will help you fill in the blanks by supplying you with important information about eating healthier and controlling your diabetes.

A food and nutrition super-resource for people with diabetes, The Diabetes Food & Nutrition Bible is written by Hope S. Warshaw, a certified diabetes educator and registered dietitian, and Robyn Webb, an expert in all things culinary and healthy. This book brings you up to date on meal planning, carb counting, vitamins, minerals, and the best ways to prepare healthy, delicious meals.

In addition to being a complete food and nutrition reference, The Diabetes Food & Nutrition Bible is a cookbook that shows you how to prepare foods using Nutritional Superstars, foods such as grains, avocados, leafy green vegetables, fruits, tofu, and many more. It includes more than 100 recipes featuring 20 Nutrition Superstars complete with nutritional information, exchanges, and carb counts. There are selections on:

• Meal Planning Approaches -- Portion Control (the size of your servings)
• How to Buy, Store, and Handle Foods -- 2 Weeks of Menus Using the Recipes
