 Most
people remember the terrible sinking feeling when they were
given the diagnosis of diabetes. Quite often doctors remark
that it will change the patients' lives. The first days
and weeks can be very confusing even after a consultation
with a dietician. Exactly what can you eat?
The answer
comes with experience and it is a healthy diet. An ideal
diet for diabetics is one that is ideal for everybody, a
point made in the Reader's Digest Cookbook. In
that light, a doctor's prediction that diabetes will change
your life can mean that it will change for the better and
the new eating plan will have beneficial affects on all
aspects of your health.
First and
foremost, this new book has recipes for delicious food,
proving that being diabetic is not the end of enjoying meals.
The book covers all meals: breakfast, lunch and dinner,
as well as different categories of dishes. There are recipes
for salads and side dishes, soups and stews, breads and
snacks, desserts and drinks. The book has recipes ideal
for everyday use or for special dinner parties and each
one comes with nutritional information including calories,
protein, saturated fat, vitamins and fibre.
Breakfast
recipes include Strawberry Yogurt Smoothie and Blueberry
Popover, lunch includes Smoked Haddock and Potato Pie and
Chinese-style Lemon Chicken, dinner includes New England
Simmered Beef and and Sweet and Sour Pork. The chapters
on different categories of dishes have a similarly wide
range of recipes.
The recipes
are not the only valuable part of this book. It starts with
a chapter on Living Well with Diabetes which should be compulsory
reading for anybody who is newly diagnosed. It not only
makes the point that a diabetic diet is just a healthy diet
but also answers questions that many people with diabetes
don't even think to ask.
The final
chapters deal with Buying and Stocking Food and How to Plan
Meals and then there is a very useful Glossary.
Overall,
this is an ideal book for anybody with diabetes because,
not only does it provide some lovely recipes, it also destroys
the myth that a diabetic diet has to be dull.
