Recipes Books for the Diabetic
Diet
Getting a Diabetes diagnosis
can mean a lot of adjustments – testing, long-term health concerns,
and medication can all act as a wake-up call that your life has changed.
But nothing can be more depressing
and overwhelming than reading the list of recommended foods for people
with Diabetes.
Whole grains? Bor-ing.
Extra Fruits and Vegetables?
Fun.
Minimal sugar? Wow.
This Diabetic diet’s a laugh a minute, right?
Even with all the other changes
and things you’ll have to learn about Diabetes, nothing can put a
crimp in every day life like having to eat healthy almost all the time
– especially if you’re not used to it.
Luckily, there are a ton of
great cookbooks out there that cater to people with Diabetes, and
with all the great-tasting food you can make, you might not even realize
you’re being good!
Diabetes Cookbook for Dummies
No – I’m not saying you’re
a dummy! But people the world over have used these simple, straight-to-the-point
books for everything from learning to use a computer to marketing their
small businesses. Why not cooking for Diabetes?
The Diabetes Cookbook for Dummies
by Alan L. Rubin, Fran Stach, and Denise C. Scharf, is broken down into
easy-to-read sections. From Building a Healthy Lifestyle to Healthy
Recipes that Taste Great, the Diabetes Cookbook for Dummies is a
great starting point for anyone working an eating plan centered on the
guidelines for people with Diabetes.
Key components of the Diabetes
Cookbook for Dummies are the 112 recipes, each of which takes a half-hour
or less to prepare! And one of the very best things about the recipes
included in this book is that there are simple recipes the whole
family will love as well as exotic sounding dishes fit for entertaining.
And this is NOT a low-fat cookbook, per se. Instead the recipes are
centered on low-glycemic foods that release glucose consistently into
the bloodstream. In fact, many of the recipes were contributed by well-known
restaurants and chefs throughout the nation!
The Type 2
Diabetes Dessert Cookbook
For many people, restrictions
on sweets and desserts can be the most difficult of all the Diabetic
diet recommendations. It is advised that sugar be limited in any
healthy Diabetic diet, but this gem of a cookbook confirms that there’s
still a place for sweets and treats in the Diabetic diet.
The Type 2 Diabetes Dessert
Cookbook by Lois Soneral and Charles L. Chavez, is devoted almost
entirely to desserts that are acceptable on the typical Diabetes
diet.
Broken down into types of food,
The Type 2 Diabetes Dessert Cookbook features Cookies, Bars, Cakes,
Pies, Fruit Concoctions, Puddings, Frozen Desserts, Beverages, Breads
and Muffins, and Savory Snacks, Sauces and Vegetable Salads.
And with sections on Holiday
Planning, Recipe Modification, and Sugar Substitutions, there’s
no shortage of potential desserts for
every occasion!
Life After Diabetes
These two books are just the
tip of the iceberg. Browsing the cookbook section at your local bookstore
or online venue, you’ll be amazed at the number of cookbooks tailored
to the nutritional recommendations of the Diabetic diet. From main course
meals to entertaining, desserts to snacks – these books prove that
there is life – and dessert – after Diabetes!
