Product Description
From Amazon
From the first glance it's clear that this diabetes cookbook is different: the recipes are in large print. It's also different because each recipe makes one or two servings--no waste, no leftovers--for people with diabetes who are living alone or with one other person. No-Fuss Diabetes Recipes for 1 or 2 presents 125 recipes--both traditional and ethnically diverse--that "match good taste with good health" and don't require odd, hard-to-find ingredients. Each major section (breakfast, lunch, dinner) opens with 5 quick recipes that require no more than 8 ingredients and no more than 20 minutes to prepare. Most recipes are modifications of foods you've always liked: Huevos Rancheros, several types of muffins, Black Bean Burritos, Sweet and Sour Chicken, Chocolate Pudding, Scallop Fettuccini. Some are more quirky: Blueberry Fruit Pizza (not pizza at all, but a breakfast item made with pita bread, fat-free cream cheese, apricot preserves, walnuts, and blueberries), Sweet Potato Lunch, Lentil Spaghetti, and Middle Eastern Muffin Burgers (ground beef, couscous, and applesauce). Nutritional breakdown includes calories, carbohydrate, protein, fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, and fiber. --Joan Price

THANK YOU!!! This is a great recipe book,
By A Customer
This review is from: No-Fuss Diabetes Recipes for 1 or 2: 125 Healthy & Delicious Meals and Desserts (Paperback)
Finally, quick recipes! Some of the recipes you get in other books have way too much prep time or are too complicated to make. I think this is the best resource for someone with diabetes who has to watch sugar/carb intake. I hope more versions of this book comes out.
3.0 out of 5 stars
high-carb/low-fat,
By Type 2 Reader (Littleton, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: No-Fuss Diabetes Recipes for 1 or 2: 125 Healthy & Delicious Meals and Desserts (Paperback)
There seems to be two camps developing in the type 2comunity, those who follow the traditional ADA high-carb and low-fat way-of-life and those who follow the low-carb, higher protein/fat way. This book is in the high-carb group. Since I'm keeping my BG's 2hrs post meal near the pre-meal targets (<120), the meals here did not help me. Your milage may vary.

Easily lives up to its name.,

This review is from: No-Fuss Diabetes Recipes for 1 or 2: 125 Healthy & Delicious Meals and Desserts (Paperback)
I am so pleased to have found this book. Type II runs in our family, and I'm trying to prevent it, by being careful about carbs, and balancing them with protein. All the balancing work is done for you. Great to find a cookbook with easy recipes that taste good, and you won't have to eat it all week! It was just what I had been looking for. I've only had it a few days, and have already tried several recipes. And these easy recipes make you realize how easy it could be to create your own variations. As a singleton, I'm glad things serve one or two, and it gives me a better idea of what a right-sized portion should be.
