Summary: It's a no-brainer!
Review: Using this book is a no-brainer - which is what I REALLY needed. My husband was just diagnosed with Type II diabetes, and his nutritional needs are critical. We are stationed in Germany and are in the process of moving. I was disheartened when I found that the military dietician is unavailable right now. Other books were confusing - trying to figure out 30% fat calories, etc. This book saved my sanity! The spiral binding and split page design are FANTASTIC and the food is GREAT. Directions are concise and it's easy to prepare a menu and shopping list from the book. Best of all, we're getting nutritious, consistant, easy meals and snacks and half the work is done for us. Some of the books in the series even include smart choices when eating out at fast food restaurants - another bonus. When our doctor and nurses saw these books, they were AMAZED. My recomendation: get all five!

Summary: Daily Menu Plans for Vegetarian Diet
Review: Very clear Introduction to planning diabetic meals. Includes definition of the six food groups which make up the vegetarian food pyramid, and the nutrients each supply. Describes how specialty foods which are common to vegetarian diets (such as soy products), fit within the diabetic plan. With this book it is easy to follow a daily total of either a 1200-calorie, 1350-calorie, THE BASIC 1500 CALORIE MEAL PLAN, 1800-Calorie, or 2100-Calorie Diet. Each day simply choose from:
28 Breakfast Meals,
28 Lunch Meals, and
28 Dinner Meals.
21 Snacks of 60-Calories, 21 Snacks of 125-Calories, or 21 Snacks of 170-Calories. Wonderful book for diabetics who are seeking vegetarian menu ideas, but also great for vegetarians who are simply trying to control their weight . *****
