Magic Foods

This was a helpful book about controlling ones sugar and I gave it a four only because it was after all a cook book. But it is a good one if you're looking to save yourself from going onto diabetic drugs, buy this book.

Need to improve your eating habits? This is the book for you!

This book is divided into three distinct sections. The first provides a basic introduction to nutrition and healthy eating, with lots of practical tips and advice. The second describes some of the most commonly available "superfoods"--foods that have exceptional health value and are easy to incorporate into your diet. Fruits, vegetables, meats, grains, and fats are all represented, and there is a particular emphasis on foods that regular blood sugar (so it is especially helpful for those wanting to lose weight and/or treat or prevent diabetes). The third section offers easy recipes that feature these foods as starring ingredients, as well as some meal plan ideas to get you started.

PROS:
--The book is written and designed primarily for people who are "beginners" at healthy eating, so it is easy to read and practical.
--Many of the recipes are "remakes" of standard American fare, so this is a great book for you if you want to eat more healthily while still eating familiar, comfortable food.
-- With many vivid photographs and a colorful, dynamic layout, this book has immediate eye-appeal and is fun to flip through.
--The book is appropriate for everyone, but if you're trying to lose weight and/or control diabetes, it will be especially useful.

CAVEATS:
--If you already know a lot about nutrition, you may find the book a bit too simplistic. (Consider George Mateljan's "The World's Healthiest Foods" instead.)
--If you are interested in the recipes only, and not the nutritional info, then this book may not be worth the money. The recipes are good, but similar recipes can be found in most standard "healthy" cookbooks.

OVERALL: A well-designed and useful book, especially for those making a real lifestyle change to healthy eating for the first time. Fun to browse.

Excellent. Illustrations show how to reduce calories by making simple adjustments to your eating habits. It is excellent for diabetics. The information and recipes include the GL (Glycemic Load) on foods and for diabetics this is important. There is also a chart showing the GL of basic foods. I would suggest that all diabetics purchase a copy. It is well worth the coast (paper copy). I plan to purchase additional copies for a few friends that need help in controling their
blood sugars.

Finally a no gimick book on healthy eating!!!

Of the many diet/food/cookbooks I've read, this one gets my highest kudos!! It was easy to understand, easy to implement, and completely within reach of sustaining. The "magic foods" are not difficult to locate and can be found in your neighborhood supermarket. The book even allows for baby-steps into healthy eating. The principles explained within are sound not gimicky. Excellent Book!! Recommend it for everyone!!!

good source of information

This book was hard to put down. It's written in very understand language and I have gotten a lot out of it. Very good explanation of the glycemic factor, and the food GL's numbers. This book is not for the real scientic minded person, this book is for the person that is looking for help in controlly blood sugars and possibly preventing diabetes in simple language. Diabetes is a very important subject, and I don't need techical data, I need help. If you like tech data, this book does give you directions of where to look if you want. I would highly recommend this book as a good stepping off point in the right direction
