Diabetic Living Diabetes Meals by the Plate

I found this book fun, informative, engaging! It has a simple formula of dinner planning. Each plate is divided into half, one forth, one forth based upon green veggies, protein, and carbs. Every recipe has a beautiful picture and all the nutritional information needed to make knowledgeable choices. All recipes are designed for 4 servings, easy to double or divide in half. There are numerous options to select from, so I won’t be bored by repeat meals. I would recommend this book as an excellent guide to healthy eating for someone with diabetes, with pre-diabetes or for a regular diet.

EXCELLENT! 10/10- These are a few of my favorite things regarding this book! This is my go-to cookbook!1.Every recipe has a color picture showing the finished product on a plate along with details of portion size/quantity etc.2. The layout of the recipes (color-coded for beef/fish/chicken/vegetables/dessert..yes dessert!) were done well, and the recipes themselves are very easy to prepare, not to mention TASTY!3. The recipes use minimal oil which would make this book an excellent choice if you're trying to lose weight.4. Mix & Match section (found on pages 8&9 of the book) - This is another excellent feature of the book. I struggle with deciding on what to make on a daily basis, and this section allows me to visually look at healthy meal plan options.This cookbook is like getting your very own menu, with the recipes and gives you the option to be creative in the kitchen. And if you don't enjoy cooking and just want to make something quick and fast, this book serves that purpose too!I hope you find this book helpful to your healthy living!Calling all cook-book authors and would be ones to take note from this book!

Got diagnosed as pre-diabetic after the birth of my baby. I was so extremely overwhelmed with how and what I should be eating. I have a 2 year old, infant and teenager at home and so cooking needs to be quick, healthy and easy. This recipe book saved my sanity!!! The meals are simple prepare and there are pictures of EVERY single meal in the book. I love that the author made it easy to pick and choose meal items from one meal to another. Love how this recipe book made me feel that I can eat normally. The meals are absolutely selfish. My fav was the morrocan chicken....mmmm!! You will not be disappointed by this east to follow cookbook.

Great recipes, looking forward to trying to keep things fresh.

I love cook books. I bought this because I am pre-diabetic and wanted some ideas. The pictures are great and the recipes are easy to follow. This would be a great gift for someone who struggles to see healthy choices do not have to be boring.

I'm not diabetic, but want to eat like a diabetic because I think it is a healthy diet. I bought this book to see if I could find some great recipes. There are some great recipes in the book; just none that really interest me.

This is so helpful! Crammed with important and current information, utilizing the Plate Method with clear recipes and foods that are easily obtained. Nothing I’ve had to look up yet or find in a special market!They have breakfasts, lunches, dinners, desserts, beverages! This is the best and immensely helpful especially to newly diagnosed diabetics. For the dishes with carbs slightly higher than your doctor wants, take a few bites less of the starchy item. It’s THAT simple. Most are in range for me. They combine the foods so that you feel satisfied and aren’t hungry in between.

Newly diagnosed with early onset type 2, my major fear was never being able to enjoy food again. Food has always been a big deal for me. I'm picky as well, so there's plenty of foods I don't like (mostly the healthy stuff, of course).This book has been a godsend. Nearly every recipe looks delicious and it's actually food I would normally eat, just modified to be good for diabetics. A huge plus is that there are lots of pictures to help figure out what to try next! Perfect book for anyone who, like me, doesn't want to give up eating food they like in trade for complicated or weird dishes.

***** STARS !!! This book is ideal for people who Diabetic or merely interested in losing weight. It is easy to read, photos are of high quality, and the recipes are well presented and easy to follow.

Excellent, this book should be given to anyone who is new to diabetics life.Easy to follow and life size portions.

I had gestational diabetes during my pregnancy and this book helped me stay on track with my carbs intake. The book is easy to navigate and the recipes all look so yummy. I tried quite a few and still make some now that my pregnancy is over and my diabetes' gone.

Good quality, getting some good ideas

This is a great recipe book if you are looking to adjust your eating to be in line wit the Diabetic Plate. The recipes are doable and tasty. Unfortunately, the one that we got came to us warped and we can't seem to get it flat - hence the three stars.
