Whole Grains and Dietary Fibers: End Your Confusion
We’re being urged via health messages and big marketing campaigns to eat more dietary fiber and simultaneously to chow down on more whole grains. Beyond the messages to achieve these goals ringing in our ears, a plethora of new foods greet us in the supermarket aisles.
The Diabetes Food and Nutrition Bible
Are you...
- frightened by diabetes and wonder what to eat?
- muddled about making favorite recipes diabetes-friendly?
- flustered about increasing your fiber count?
- unclear if sugary foods and sweets are still forbidden?
The Diabetes Food and Nutrition Bible is an all-in-one super resource for people with pre-diabetes or diabetes. It's both a cookbook with more than 100 recipes and loads of tips and hints about how to buy, store and cook myriad foods and a comprehensive nutrition guide with diabetes diet recommendations as well as easy and practical ways to improve your eating habits and food choices.
Reviews
"...You'll learn how food effects your blood glucose and how to move toward a healthier way of eating. You'll see that with a little creativity, you can live well within what can be quite comforting, good-tasting limits...You've made an excellent choice of information. Now read, learn, and inwardly digest a very reasonable approach, based upon excellent, up-to-the-minute science."
—Graham Kerr (a.k.a The Galloping Gourmet)
"Many cookbooks include the word 'bible' in the title. Few cookbooks merit it. An exception is The Diabetes Food and Nutrition Bible...The result is a book that not only debunks modern myths...The recipes are simple and streamlined...It's an interesting read not only for individuals diagnosed with or predisposed to diabetes, but anyone concerned about sound eating practices."

“At this point I have read about six books on diabetes and this one [Diabetes Food and Nutrition Bible] is by far the best. I needed help with menu planning, balancing proteins, carbos, fats, calories, increasing fiber, etc. "The Diabetes Bible" does have workable recipes - the ones I have made were very tasty.”
