Exchanges are the foundation of weight and blood sugar managment.
There is nothing more basic for weight and blood sugar management than the food exchanges. They are called exchanges because the foods in each group can be exchanged with each other and still supply a similar amount of calories, proteins, carbohydrates, fats and other nutrients. "The Official Pocket Guide to Dieabetic Exchanges" is an excellent resource fordescribing the nature and benefits of the exchanges.
Exactly what the Dietician ordered!
This is exactly what my dietician wrote up for me to follow yet in a condensed, easy to follow, easy to tote reference.It outlines a basic plan for eating.For me, knowing the amount of calories per serving for each of the food groups really helped.
Official Pocket Guide to Diabetic Exchanges
Packed with more information than some larger books.Small enough to carry with you. Very impressive.Would recommend. ... Read more

Disappointing
Recipes are intricate, difficult and call for ingredients that are not "on hand" for the average person, especially a working family.

Good for a recently diagnosed diabetic
I have been a diabetic for several years and purchased this book simply to see what it contained.I have found several ideas for myself and a great many items that would be very usefull for a recently diagnosed diabetic who wants to get started cookin good food without haveing to worry about the fact that it ordinary food and not what the usual types of food that the doctors and Neutritionists recommend.
Odd ingredients
I didn't like this cookbook because it had odd ingredients.A gourmet cook or someone dying of boredom from regular cooking might enjoy it though. ... Read more

Diabetic meal planning made easy
This book showed us how to plan our meals without getting stuck in a rut.

Diabetic cooking
This is a great book for meals we all used to like and thought we could no longer have.

Not Just Good For Diabetics!
I bought this cookbook recently to give to someone just diagnosed with diabetes and spent a good deal of time reading the recipes, myself. It is a good cookbook for anyone who is interested in eating healthy. I copied some of the recipes for my own use. I particularly liked some of the chicken recipes as well as the recipe for black bean soup. Each page of the book is divided into thirds so that you can mix and match different foods as you plan your meals. When you get past that initial barrier of figuring out what is going on with the book, you will like this cookbook tremendously. There is a wealth of information here to make us all healthier eaters. ... Read more

Good recipes.
I am not a diabetic.I got this book because of the "heart healthy" part of the title.The loaded baked potato soup is wonderful as is the broccoli soup.Those are the only 2 recipes I've tried so far, but they are well worth the price on their own, in my opinion.
D & H HEALTHY COOK BOOK
ONE OF THE VERY BEST BY A VERY WELL KNOWN AUTHOR

Sugar in almost EVERY recipe.
I was completely disappointed in this book and in fact, threw it in the garbage.I expected to find recipes to supplement my current bland diet, but upon examining this book, I found sugar to be in almost every recipe, including main courses, not to mention the deserts.This would be fine for someone who is simply trying to lose weight, but not for a diabetic.Especially one like me who is Type 2 and needs to strictly control their sugar consumption.I don't feel this author understands diabetic eating nor diabetes itself, as not controlling it properly can result in blindness and loss of limbs.I do not recommend this book for anyone who takes their diabetes seriously. ...

More than 5,000 menu items are organized by establishment name
Whether you have diabetes or just wish to make healthier choices in restaurants, guide to healthy restaurant eating appears in its third updated edition of Guide To Healthy Restaurant Eating by Hope S. Warshaw, MMSc, RD, CDE, BC-ADM, to cover all the options, even in such unhealthy establishments as chain restaurants. More than 5,000 menu items are organized by establishment name, making it easy to quickly access nutritional information and exchange options for specialty beverages, salads, and even donuts and bagels. Websites, nutrition information, overviews of healthier food choices, and plenty of facts make this an essential guide for any regular restaurant goer who would make better choices.
Helps you make good choices while eating out
This book lists more than 5,000 food items at 60 major chain restaurants (both fast food and sit-down).I've found it to include even the most recent menu additions of my favorite restaurants.It gives clear, concise, easy-to-read nutritional information and food exchange counts.I use this book constantly, and also highly recommend "The Complete Guide to Convenience Food Counts" by Lea Ann Holzmeister (great for meal planning & supermarket trips).These two books put together contain virtually every item of food I look for, and I recommend both without reservation to anyone on a food exchange diet plan.

Excellent guide for healthy restaurant eating.
This is an excellent guide for helping you eat healthy food at restaurants.The restaurants listed are many of the major chain restaurants, especially fast foods.In addition to hamburgers and pizza, Denny's and Baker's Square are included to help you find nutrition information you can use for coffee shops in general.Read more

Nothing New
I just received the September 2006 edition, the "latest and greatest" paperback... Nothing New here, plus Amazon charges the list price$7.95... I am sure you can get it at a mega bookstore for less

a must have
I love, love, love this book!I am only half way through, and all of my questions have already been answered.The rest of the information is just an added bonus to questions that I didn't even know I had yet.I always share my new learnings, and it has helped one of my co-workers to offer her friend advice, who has a newly diagnosed, Type 1 diabetic, son.To be educated on the topic leaves both the diabetic and their support system feeling uplifted.

Thank you

The ADA is currently the most accurate and substantial nutritional source for how we live today.Month of Meals was created for diabetics but is also an excellence source for all of us who want to lose or maintain a healthy weight while eating good food.

Don't bother unless you are a new diabetic
This book doesn't have many recipes in it.It has some.Mostly it has suggestions such as for dinner you are to get a thin and crispy pizza from Pizza hut and have a salad with it.Or for Breakfast 1 package of instant oatmeal, wheat germ, 1 mini pack of raisons, and 1 cut fat free milk.For lunch one such suggestion is 1 Stouffer's lean cuisine cheese cannelloni 1/2 cup steamed broccoli, with margarine and 2 bread sticks and 2 cups mixed berries.Those aren't recipes!!The recipes are ok but because my husband is a picky eater we can only try about 5 of them.There are only about 28 recipes included.I'm not totally sorry I bought the book because my husband is newly diagnosed and it does have some good information in the book for newly diagnosed people.I will NEVER buy any of the others.

not for diabetics
I have been a diabetic for 10 years. I just expected this book to add something to my existing knowledge. It so introductory.. and does not give any additional information, then what diabetics already know

This was my first book and was very helpful!

A critically important addition to any diabetes reference collection and reading list
1-2-3 Diabetes Diet: A Step-By-Step Approach To Weight Loss Without Gimmicks Or Risks by Robert J. Buynak is a complete introduction and methodical approach to the role of proper nutrition in treatment and controlling diabetes. Ably guiding readers through simple, "user-friendly ideas for proper dietary assessment, 1-2-3 Diabetes Diet offers reliable, "user friendly" guidance in such issues as properly navigating the grocery store, "survival" when eating out, enduring social pressures to go off a diabetic oriented diet, and trusting yourself to make healthy eating choices when dealing with diabetes. A critically important addition to any diabetes reference collection and reading list, 1-2-3 Diabetes Diet is very highly recommended as a knowledgeable and concise presentation of effective dietary tactics and nutritional strategies related to the condition of diabetes.
A good way to get started
This book has a lot of good tips on how to set a weight-loss goal for yourself and how to follow through. It makes certain key points with welcome insistence, for example, the importance of portion control. Dr Buynak doesn't claim weight loss is easy, and he recognizes that without a modicum of self-control, nothing will happen. But he provides sensible advice on what foods to cut down on, what foods to have more of, the relative uselessness of fad diets, the crucial component of exercise, and more specialized advice on diabetes. The book is easy to read and well-organized, and it contains helpful hints on how to eat sensibly in restaurants. Well worth it!
Great diabetes book
Diabetes 1-2-3 is a very informative guide to controlling diabetes.I especially appreciate the advice Dr. Buynak gives on how to strengthen one's self-control to better regulate food intake--the basis for all weight gain/loss.I recommend the book. ... Read more
