The Reactive Hypoglycemia Cookbook Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Stephanie Kenrose's book is awesome. I got it because it's a vegetarian cookbook - I have a mild case of Reactive Hypoglycemia, but I've found that it's very manageable through diet and exercise. This cookbook is a great place to find tips and recipes for a healthy lifestyle even if you don't have hypoglycemia. Actually, it would be perfect for someone who is trying to explore vegetarianism.
The beginning of the book has a brief intro to some of the ingredients that are called for in the recipes, and there is also a page of simple snack ideas (bread and peanut butter, fruit, etc...).
Then Stephanie jumps right into the recipes. They are all pretty straightforward and easy to follow. Her directions are clear and there aren't any huge ingredient lists. You definitely don't have to be an expert to make any of the recipes. There are a bunch of different sections - fast food (healthified), treats (my favorites!), "vegetarian specialties" (like lasagna, enchiladas, quiche, etc...), breakfasts, and slow cooker recipes.
My favorites so far have been the "Harvest Soup", "Flaxseed French Toast", "Grilled Portobello Mushrooms", "Strawberry-Poppy Seed Salad", "Key Lime Pie", and the Sweet Potato Fries (holy yum). I had to leave out the nuts from the French toast (didn't have any), but it was still great. I added a little bit of cinnamon to the Sweet Potato Fries too - these were really good.
Some of the recipes are what I would call "semi homemade" - meaning that they call for pre-made ingredients like frozen sweet potato fries, or veggie burgers. When I made the fries I just used regular sweet potatoes; I don't usually buy the packaged stuff. But I think most of the recipes you could easily sub in other things if you don't have whatever product it calls for - like how I just subbed fresh sweet potatoes.
Overall, a fun book with lots of good ideas. I highly recommend it :)

The Schwarzbein Principle: The Truth About Losing Weight, Being Healthy, and Feeling Younger Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Schwarzbein goes against all the current thinking on dieting. Exercise and balanced diet are good words that all doctors will tell you. From there Schwarzbein goes in a completely different direction. Count carbohydrates, not calories. Eat as much good fat and protein as your body needs. Eat 'real' food, not the processed and chemical-filled food that lines the grocery shelves. Stay away from the low-fat foods that make you feel hungry and contribute to hormonal imbalance.
After being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, my doctor gave me a 1500-calorie diet. That wasn't enough food to live on. I was lucky enough to have someone recommend the Schwarzbein book. In the past eight months I have lost over 50lbs, eating food I enjoy and feeling good about it. My doctor said to keep up what ever I am doing. He was happy when I said I was eating the number of carbohydrates listed in the 1500-calorie diet. I am sleeping the entire night. My blood pressure is at 125/72, down from 149/100. I had to buy new cloths, down from size 48 pants to size 44. Hopefully I will have to buy a smaller size in the next 6 months.
Steak, bratwurst, bacon, butter, eggs, mayonnaise, and whole milk are all part of my normal diet, along with generous portions of salads. I can eat as much of these as my body wants. I make sure that I eat potatoes, bread, and whole grain cereal, but in limited portions. My blood glucose readings are in the normal range, and they agree with Schwarzbein's findings in her patient studies.
The main emphasis of the book is not on losing weight. It is about becoming healthy, enjoying eating, and enjoying a long life. It isn't necessary to immediately make all the changes listed in the book. The goal is to gradually make the changes and enjoy life.
