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? Then listen up: Hope S. Warshaw, MMSc, RD, CDE, and Robyn
Webb, MS, will help you fill in the blanks by supplying you with important
information about eating healthier and controlling your diabetes in The
Diabetes Food & Nutrition Bible: A Complete Guide to Planning, Shopping,
Cooking and Eating.
Hope S. Warshaw, a certified diabetes educator and registered
dietitian, and Robyn Webb, an expert in all things culinary and healthy,
bring you up to date on meal planning, carb counting, vitamins, minerals, and
the best ways to prepare healthy, delicious meals in The Diabetes Food &
Nutrition Bible. According to one Midwest reviewer, "Hope Warshaw and Robyn
Webb effectively collaborate to draw upon their more than twenty years
experience with the challenges of a diabetic lifestyle. They provide the
reader with a wealth of information on how to turn out more than one hundred
healthful and tasty dishes for the diabetic -- meal time dishes that will be
enthusiastically received by their non-diabetic friends and family members as
well."
This all-in-one cookbook includes guides to Planning, Shopping,
Cooking, and Eating, and each recipe in The Diabetes Food & Nutrition Bible
comes with complete nutritional information including ADA exchanges, Carb
counts and portion sizes to aid in blood sugar control and weight loss (one
of my pet peeves is the lack of portion size with the nutritional analysis).
The Diabetes Food & Nutrition Bible carefully applies sound nutritional
theory as well as great taste to each recipe. Strongly recommended,
especially for the newly-diagnosed.
