Prevention Diabetes Diet Cookbook: Discover the New Fiber-Full Eating Plan for Weight Loss

This book has done a good job of giving you great information about a whole foods diet without being "preachy" or extreme. Information is clear and concise, gives great testimonials and follows it up with a reasonable diet plan and recipes. It is more than just another diabetic cookbook. 1st half of book is full of important info on the value of a high fiber, balanced diet and how that impacts your blood sugars. It's not one of these extreme diets where you eat no carbs and a lot of protein. Talks about the value of a balanced diet including carbs and what kinds of carbs.

Prevention magazine is known for great articles on health and healthy living. THis cookbook of diabetic, high fiber, and weightloss recipes is just more of their same high caliber writing. Recipes are tasty and healthy.

This Prevention Diabetic Cookbook is wonderful. It not only is full of great recipes, but facts about what refined white flour and sugar do to our systems as a diabetic and/or a non-diabetic person. These are facts that should be taught in school. This information would be a wonderful bit of knowledge as to why Americans are in an obesity epidemic.

You don't have to be diabetic to get great things out of this cookbook. I myself am not diabetic but like this book because it is full of recipes that are so delicious and yet so cardio friendly. Your inner health nut and your inner gourmet can both be satisfied! I've been working my way through the wonderful recipes and wowing my friends with the results. My fiance, who is generally the least cardio-conscious eater imaginable, actually asks me when I'm going to cook something out of this book because the dishes are so fabulous. The author makes wonderful use of lots of different spices so you don't miss the salt. I especially recommend the "Cinnamon-Rubbed Pork Loin with Roasted Apples & Onions".

As a diabetic I wanted a cookbook that would help me increase not only a better eating plan, but help me add more fiber. I have seen a significant inprovement in my numbers as I have made fiber rich glycemic choices and added these recipes. But this book is also more than a cookbook, as I was surprised to find it also has much information and inspiration for dealing with diabetes. It is worth the buy.
