Editorial Review:

For people with diabetes, counting carbohydrates and fats is the approach recommended by dietitians. This user-friendly guide describes how to use many generic and brand-name foods in meal planning and teaches you to convert carbohydrate grams into carbohydrate exchanges. Nutrient counts for food planning, how to understand grocery store food labels, and how to incorporate different sources of food-count information into meal planning are also covered.

A SUPER GUIDE AND INFORMATION:

Book was very very good. A lot of the infomation out there like this is not as easy to handle as this book. Good job.

Old edition!:

I bought this from Amazon without realizing it was old--the third edition was already out and for sale on Amazon, too, but I missed that. Do not buy the second edition!! As soon as my shipment arrived I ordered the third edition and suppose I'll be sending this one back--as hassle. Wish they had made this more obvious!

Helps one make informed meal choices!:

I was recommended this book by a dietician...it basically helps you make informed choices when planning what to cook, when you're out shopping at the grocery store, and especially when you're eating out. It is amazing how many calories some of our meals contain and if we only took the time to really scrutinise the food we consume, I think it can make a lot of difference to our health. I keep this as a guide when I prepare meals at home, and it has also taught me how to read labels on packaged foods... more info
