JoAnna Lund's Healthy Exchanges works because every one of these recipes must, according to JoAnna's four basic rules, be: Low in Fat and Sugar: A diabetic diet demands less sugar, less fat, and lower cholesterol, Easy to Make: If it takes longer to cook than to eat, you won't see it in this book, Made from Ordinary Ingredients: If You can't find it at the local supermarket, you won't find it in this book, As Tasty and Good as it Looks: If a dish doesn't satisfy every sense, the way old family favorites do, it won't get eaten - no matter how healthy it is! The Diabetic's Healthy Exchanges Cookbook features more than 150 kitchen- and family-tested recipes, complete with all diabetic and weight-loss exchanges as well as information on calories and fat content, plenty of helpful hints, sound advice, and a good dose of encouragement.
