Mr. Food Test Kitchen's Hello Taste, Goodbye Guilt!: Over 150 Healthy and Diabetes Friendly Recipes

I bought the book for my mother, who is a diabetic. I thought she might enjoy trying some of the recipes, and having something that's, not only good for her, but also tastes good. She is more than pleased with the book: The recipes are laid out beautifully step-by-step, with accompanying pictures, and most are fairly simple to prepare; there are no complicated ingredients (most seem to be readily found in just about any kitchen); and best of all, the title says it all - they taste great, without the guilt! What else can I say, this was one gift that I know was really appreciated, and will be put to good use - over and over again.Thanks!

I was sort of taken aback in April when my doctor told me I am pre diabetic..but made up my mind to do all I can to make sure it goes no further. I have seen too many of my friends struggle with theirs. I just ordered this book and rated a five since I know Mr. Food books are wonderful and expect nothing else from this one. Eating better is really not hard once you put your mind to it and you do not have to deny yourself..we live in a day and age where there are smart choices and plenty of them and I think buying this book is a very smart choice for those of us who want to avoid full blown diabetes- or for anyone who already has it and wants good tasting food.

I bought this book for a few reasons. First, I remember watching Mr Food fondly on TV. Second, sometimes we need recipes that are good, filling and fast. Third, I try to eat healthy and diabetic recipes are healthy. I watch my sugar and will not become diabetic; so I made some changes to my diet that significantly reduced my numbers and I was taken off triglyceride medication! As a result of reading this book I signed up for the Mr Food newsletters on line. There is a diabetic newsletter too and I've used a few of those recipes; like Lemon Garlic Hummus, which was really tasty! These recipes are simple, use every day ingredients and are easy to prepare.

The information about the book that's very helpful, the beautiful food pictures, and the care put into this book.

Overall, this is a nice cookbook. If you follow it properly, you have to get grocery items I don't normally keep on hand, (fat-free this and salt-free that) The one big problem I had was the portion sizes seemed quite small. I suppose if followed properly, it teaches you how to eat smaller portions and possibly lose some weight.

So after learning to eat right and losing 100 lbs, I've finally accepted the fact that I simply cannot eat the way I used to - mac cheese loaded with fatty cheeses and canned milk, etc. So Mr. Food has developed recipes that still tickle my tastebuds but for alot less calories and fat. I still can't eat all I would like to eat of these dishes (moderation please), but I can enjoy them 1/2 cup at a time and not feel guilty! He also inlcudes many very healthy recipes - guilt free dishes with grilled chicken, fresh veggies, delicious spices to kick up the flavor. Honestly, when you learn to eat foods like this you will find them to be extremely pleasing to the palate and favorable to the waistline as well. Enjoy!

I bought 3 three of these books, 1 for me, 1 for my son, and 1 for my brother and his wife who are both diabetic. These recipes are so simple and easy and tasty and are tailored with the diabetic in mind that even my brother and sister-in-law can have foods prepared for all the guest not something special just for diabetics. I know they will enjoy the book as much as I do. And my son is single so it's easy for him to use also.

So I got this cookbook along with another because my husband is diabetic. It looks to have several good recipes, it’s got pictures and nutritional information. Unfortunately it doesn’t give you serving sizes.
