Recipes are simple and easy to follow,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Whole Foods Diabetic Cookbook (Paperback)
Controlling diabetes goes beyond reducing sugar intake: it also involves staying healthy by reducing fat and increasing exercise. Whole Foods Diabetic Cookbook promotes a vegetarian diet high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and beans and is especially valuable for its tips on how to juggle diabetic needs with vegetarian perspectives. Recipes are simple and easy to follow.

Shades of incense and macrobiotics!,
By Athene Five - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Whole Foods Diabetic Cookbook (Paperback)
I am a practicing vegetarian, and purchased this book when my annual tests showed an alarming trend toward borderline pre-diabetes. Even vegetarians can develop unhealthy eating habits adn need to learn better!I was disappointed in this cookbook, however. This is the kind of cookbook that was popular back in the 80's when American vegetarianism was all about brown rice, whole wheat flour, tofu and tempeh. These are fine and valuable components of a healthy veggie diet, but we've come a long way since in terms of aesthetics and variety. For example, is it really necessary to make french toast with tofu instead of milk and eggs? Or to add crumbled tofu to potato salad? I have a real problem with those who take a perfectly fine, nutritious and proven food item and make gratuitious additions of tofu and tempeh, just because. And I was very surprised to note that this cookbook does not cover the proper techniques for preparing tofu for cooking, because a truly well-prepared tofu dish can be quite delicious and possess interesting texture. The techiques and concepts in this book are just too dated and limited to appeal to today's informed cook, vegetarian or otherwise. If you are looking to add vegetarian meals to your diet or to better understand your vegetarian diabetic nutrition, you can do better than this book. I recommend the American Diabetic Association Month of Meals 'Vegetarian Pleasures' for a more up to date, equally nutritional approach. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful

its vegan and yummy,
By Joy D. Glanville - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Whole Foods Diabetic Cookbook (Paperback)
I am not diabetic but was looking for a cook book that had recipes that were low on the glycemic index. This is an awesome book for beginning vegetarians (like me) who want healthy recipes without a lot of ingredients. I also like this book because it has recipes for a lot of foods I want to keep eating like french toast. I highly recommend this book. It is also a great way to eat if you want to lose weight. In the first two weeks of eating whole vegetarian foods I lost 5 lbs and my partner lost 8 lbs.
