Choose Your Foods: Food Lists for Diabetes

This is a good book of food lists from authoritative sources, The American Diabetes Association and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. It contains a lot of helpful information for meal planning and for managing diabetes. The book does not contain specific guidelines for determining your daily food exchanges or calories. You are advised to meet with an RDN for that. Note that this book has many identical pages to “Choose Your Foods: Food Lists for Weight Management,” so if you have one book you might not want to get the other.

When I was diagnosed as diabetic the nutritionist gave me a folder and xerox copies of an eating plan. So I glanced through it and meh. She also had the holier than thou attitude so I couldn’t wait to get out of her office. I found this book on Amazon and it is a lifesaver. Teaches food groups. Healthy and not so healthy. Calories. Which veggies to eat and how much. Which to avoid or limit quantities. So much information and so easy to read. Also easy to refer to in a hurry. Colorful. Shiny pages. This is what the nutritionists should be giving out to the newly diagnosed diabetics. And I think only 3+ dollars. Well worth it.

I was hoping this would of had more recipes in it. It basically tells you what to eat and avoid.

Easy read. Reveals the nutritional information for food and proportions to get started.

Great resource for carb counting, portion sizes, for carbs, protein, non starch vegetables. Etc. love the 2019 version

I recommend that you get the Paperback Version. The price difference between the paperback ($3.95) and the Book that was Spiral Bound is HUGE (29.95). I could not find this spiral Bound book on the ADA site. I will keep this book, because this is what I order and it's on me but will not order from this seller again. DEFINATELY not what I expected.

Colorful, informative choices make easy references for menu planning. Love that you can use dry erase markers on it, wipe it clean and start again. A great value for the price!

The meal plans are really good.
