Diabetes Meal Planning Made Easy Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Planning a diabetic weekly menu which includes correct % carbohydrates, % fat, and % protein as well as correct calories, avoiding high carb foods and spacing out carbs throughout the day is like solving a 560-piece puzzle! [approx 20 food items/day x 4 variables (g carbs, g fat, g protein, total calories/food item) x 7 days].
Thankfully there are programs that help, e.g. www.mypyramid.gov, along with this book which makes it a lot easier!
This book has excellent tables on Starches, Fruits, Milk, Vegetables, Meat and Meat Substitutes, Fats, Sweets, & Combination Foods. These list not only the total calories and carbs, but fats, and protein as well for most of the foods listed.
In my opinion, the only thing that might make it even better might be to include recipes with Nutritional Analysis for each recipe.

Express Lane Diabetic Cooking : Hassle-Free Meals Using Ingredients from the Deli, Salad Bar, and Freezer Sections of Your Grocery Store Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)From the back cover, this book proudly announces that you can prepare meals from ingredients found in the deli, frozen aisle, and salad bar. What it forgets to mention is that you'll need to go to plenty of other sections of the supermarket as well. At the top of each recipe she indicates where to get the ingredients. She'll say what items to get from the salad bar, frozen aisle or deli, but then indicates meat counter, dairy case, or "other aisles" for spices and other ingredients. Wow! I only have to go to five or six different sections of the grocery store to get all my ingredients! What a time-saver! These uninspired recipes are fast to prepare only if you can find all of the vegetables, meat, etc. chopped/sliced in advance by raiding the hopefully stocked and fresh salad bar.
Robyn Webb says in her intro that "some of the recipes only have five ingredients" which is true. Three of them. Some have 15, including 6 different spices that you probably don't have on your shelf. So much for 10 items or less checkout lanes.
This book is exactly what is wrong with most diabetic cookbooks. Don't promise me convenience you can't deliver, just give me some decent recipes. I'll do the shopping.
