A bit dated but very helpful in ideas to control my blood sugar。

Very informative。 As a long time diabetic I read to stay informed。 Dr Bernstein has solid advice and research。

I read this book， primarily to get the recipes， after reading Dr。 Bernstein's Diabetes Solution book。 Much of this book （except the recipes） is taken from that larger tome。 First of all， the recipes。。。 They are really good！ I served the citrus swordfish at a dinner party and my guests loved it。 Just make sure that you do your own carb calculations。 I found the carbs for the chili to be off because the recipe claimed fewer carbs in the specified chili base than the jar stated。 But I find this pro I read this book， primarily to get the recipes， after reading Dr。 Bernstein's Diabetes Solution book。 Much of this book （except the recipes） is taken from that larger tome。 First of all， the recipes。。。 They are really good！ I served the citrus swordfish at a dinner party and my guests loved it。 Just make sure that you do your own carb calculations。 I found the carbs for the chili to be off because the recipe claimed fewer carbs in the specified chili base than the jar stated。 But I find this problem with all low carb cookbooks。 Ingredients are of different sizes， commercial products change; recipe books can't keep up。Neither this book or Bernstein's other book are for the faint of heart， that is those that are not deadly serious about controlling their blood sugar without the up and down roller coaster of insulin injections。 If you think you are serious but don't want to give up fruit， whole grains， and other so called 'healthy' food， you probably won't appreciate the approach。 Although the ADA keeps inching closer， most doctors following ADA guidelines also don't embrace the premises that Dr。 Bernstein asserts， either。 But it works。 I manage the diabetes of a newly diagnosed loved one; when he eats high protein/ very low carb， his blood sugar stays low and steady。 When he eats even a 25 carb meal （still low by most standards） he goes way high and then way low。Understand that a main point in the book is that diabetics deserve the same low， steady blood sugars as non-diabetics。 But doctors worry that low BG targets will lead to hypoglycemia。 They miss the point that such a diet eliminates the highs and lows so there is LESS chance of hypoglycemia。So try it for yourself but be prepared to do battle with you doctor， nutritionist， and other 'experts'。 。。。more

For diabetics， but educational for non-diabetics。

There is some great information in this book， but it is not a standalone。 Nearly every page contains a reference to one of the author's other books。 There is some great information in this book， but it is not a standalone。 Nearly every page contains a reference to one of the author's other books。 。。。more

I first met the work of Dr。 Bernstein in an article in Diabetes Self-Management Magazine， and as a result bought his book Dr。 Bernstein's Diabetes Solution， which I have also reviewed。 I consider his work something that changed my life。 I was headed towards increased problems caused by my failure to get control over my blood sugar， and Dr。 Bernstein showed me how to do it。 Most doctors say "diet-and-exercise" as if they were one word， but in controlling Diabetes the most important thing is diet， I first met the work of Dr。 Bernstein in an article in Diabetes Self-Management Magazine， and as a result bought his book Dr。 Bernstein's Diabetes Solution， which I have also reviewed。 I consider his work something that changed my life。 I was headed towards increased problems caused by my failure to get control over my blood sugar， and Dr。 Bernstein showed me how to do it。 Most doctors say "diet-and-exercise" as if they were one word， but in controlling Diabetes the most important thing is diet， and in this book Dr。 Bernstein offers suggestions that he has found are consistent with blood sugars in the normal range， i。e。， not diabetic。 At this point I am in my seventh year of following this， and my blood sugars do not look like those of a diabetic （e。g。 my a1c is always around 5。5）。 I would recommend reading Dr。 Bernstein's Diabetes Solution first， and then picking this up since the theory behind it will be clear。 。。。more

Anyone who is overweight， diabetic， ill or just not feeling up to par could benefit from these recipes。 They have been thoroughly scrutinized by Dr B。 working with professional chefs and are nutritious and balanced。 The first part of the book explains what the plan is and why， and the second part is over a hundred tasty recipes。 I like knowing why I am eating this way and how to balance carbohydrates。 The recipes have done all the math。Discipline is needed to nutritionally control food intake， a Anyone who is overweight， diabetic， ill or just not feeling up to par could benefit from these recipes。 They have been thoroughly scrutinized by Dr B。 working with professional chefs and are nutritious and balanced。 The first part of the book explains what the plan is and why， and the second part is over a hundred tasty recipes。 I like knowing why I am eating this way and how to balance carbohydrates。 The recipes have done all the math。Discipline is needed to nutritionally control food intake， and it matters and is worth eating less of all those sodas， cakes and candies if one can get rid of many pounds of body fat， or save a foot from amputation。 Hey， it's worth it just to simply feel better。This is among my top three cookbooks of my life。 。。。more

I had diabetes while pregnant and I never want to give myself insulin injections again。 The best defence against adult-onset diabetes is to have a normal to lean body weight。 However， I have wrestled with conflicting recommendations on how to lose weight。 I asked myself， why wait until I have diabetes to eat in a way that controls my blood sugar。 This book is full of useful information。 Let's see whether I can make this way of eating work for me over the long-term。 I had diabetes while pregnant and I never want to give myself insulin injections again。 The best defence against adult-onset diabetes is to have a normal to lean body weight。 However， I have wrestled with conflicting recommendations on how to lose weight。 I asked myself， why wait until I have diabetes to eat in a way that controls my blood sugar。 This book is full of useful information。 Let's see whether I can make this way of eating work for me over the long-term。 。。。more

I'm determined to control my blood sugar without the use of medication for as long as possible & a low-carb diet is the way to do that。 I'm not quite ready to try the extreme low-carb diet the author suggests， but I am taking many of the things I learned about food & the effect on blood sugar control & implementing them into my food plan。 I like that this is a protein-based diet plan with vegetables included。 I don't think I could go to a strict vegan/vegetarian only diet as other diabetic solut I'm determined to control my blood sugar without the use of medication for as long as possible & a low-carb diet is the way to do that。 I'm not quite ready to try the extreme low-carb diet the author suggests， but I am taking many of the things I learned about food & the effect on blood sugar control & implementing them into my food plan。 I like that this is a protein-based diet plan with vegetables included。 I don't think I could go to a strict vegan/vegetarian only diet as other diabetic solution books offer。 I do think I want more of a balance。 I'm not quite willing to give up whole-wheat products & all fruit quite yet， but I will only be eating them sparingly。 The recipes in the back are great！ I'm giving the book 4 stars for the recipes。 I've tried a few & plan to try many more。 。。。more
