The 8-Week Blood Sugar Diet Cookbook Kindle Edition

The print is 8 font making it difficult to read! It appears to have wealth of information problem for me I have to use a magnifier to read it!The book lists foods and spices that have to be ordered and are expensive.One recipe calls for smoked mackerel or trout and not a canned fish.

After reading the book, make sure you acknowledge the symptoms and follow the plan to rectify your weight/ diet shortcomings.

I ordered this book as I want to lose some weight. I hesitated for a while as I already own the 8 Week Blood Sugar Diet book which this cookbook accompanies but wanted to follow the low carb Mediterranean version not the very low-cal diet as I don't have diabetes (I just don't want to develop it). I wish I hadn't waited as it is great - one of the best 'diet' cookbooks I own. I can see myself making a lot of meals using this book and the helpful suggestions it contains. After looking through the book I tried some of the recipes straight away: chicken biriani cauli rice, the no pasta beef lasagne as well as the apple and celeriac soup. They tasted really good and my husband enjoyed them too even though he doesn't need to lose any weight. I just added some carbs to his meal. Tonight we're having the pork steaks with mustard sauce and the spiced purple veg. All the recipes contain real unprocessed ingredients and lots of veg. This book makes me feel hopeful about losing weight without feeling deprived. Brilliant!

Great recipes, also love that there is a menu plan at the end - could not have done the BSD without it! Recipes are easy to make and very tasty. One pretty bad thing is that the calorie count is wrong on most recipes - so don't trust them blindly. Re-count. And then do it again. It's a shame, because this book's menu plan accounts for 800 calories a day, but if you were to just follow recipes without re-counting, you would be closer to 1000. However, it is worth a buy, just make sure you adapt!

Finally ....an easy diet book to read, follow, put into action and get results!! I highly recommend this book. It supplies recipes which are quite good, and takes you through the full eight weeks. Don't skip the first part of the book; it's important that you read that section; that you have the seasonings recommended, and that the recipes are followed. Do not change them. The authors have experimented with the dishes and you cannot improve them. Most of all, these meals don't leave you hungry soon after eating. I cannot praise this book too highly. If you are lumpy and fluffy, and need to drop some weight, get this book. You will not be disappointed.

I enjoyed the recipes that I’ve tried. The only thing I don’t like is the fish sauce it makes the food too fishy. Is there something else I can substitute for the fish sauce. Second I don’t see any recipes for okra or cabbage. Can I add them to my recipes. So far I’ve lost 7 pounds since trying the recipes from the cookbook.

I wish it would have American measurements as well. So a bit of a pain.

Great info and great recipes. Everything is pretty easy to make and it's a good reminder how easy it is to eat healthy

My wife bought this book as she wanted us as a family to cut down (not out) on our sugar intake and she wanted a recipe book that provided some inspiration and a varied menu to achieve this. It's no secret we were consuming far too much sugar so we decided to get proactive before our health began to seriously suffer. The recipes in this book are delicious and even better, they're simple with a minimal number of ingredients required across most of the recipes. As full time working parents anything we can cook that is quick, simple, tasty and healthy every night is a total bonus. Unlike competitors to this book where the ingredients are a-plenty and somewhat pricey, these ingredients are your day to day stuff combined to make delicious flavours and simple meals that the whole family (not just adults) can enjoy. The Pork in Mustard is an absolute fave! The food is filling and if you do your best to stick to the plan you won't be hungry however as our goal was to significantly reduce not remove sugar from our diet we do allow ourselves some sugar free jelly with chopped fresh fruit and a dollop of reduced fat creme fraiche for dessert each night because we found we did want something a little sweet just once a day. Adding this pudding hasn't hindered our progress in any major way and we're finding we can pinch a bit less belly fat already. Really worth having this book open and ready to use and not gathering dust on your shelf. There are loads of recipes to choose from that are inexpensive and simple to make. Tonight we're making meatballs from it and our 8 year old will get involved in the prep of it too so we can educate her on the importance of cooking simple healthy meals. I wished we'd known about the pitfalls of sugar decades ago before we got hooked on it! Nonetheless this is a great recipe book for weaning yourself off sugar without feeling deprived. Highly recommend and for the price it's excellent value for money.

I followed this diet to the letter. In 8 weeks my blood sugar had gone from 60 to 40 (diabetic starts at 48 & pre-diabetic at 42) so I'm no longer diabetic!! Additionally I lost 17Kg. Now to maintain following the advice in the book!

Having put weight on from recent treatment for breast cancer (all good now) but spurred me back into healthy lifestyle and getting to a better weightEasy and really tasty recipes and I did lose weight even with hypothyroidism!I don’t follow it religiously but have really cut my carb intake and I feel so much better. I still have some now and again but no longer feel bloated all the time - highly recommend

We followed the diet for 16 weeks and increased our exercise. My husband lost 2.5 stones and 5 inches from his waist. Having been a type 2 diabetic for 10 yrs his GP has taken off all his medications and no longer considers him to be a diabetic.

While this book has some useful info and recipes, I find the lunches a bit of a joke! See Thursday, week 1; 2 thin crackers and some dip. I’d like to assume that the 8 week meal planner in the back, allows for snacks because over the whole 2 months there is not a single day that has a calorie intake of over 1,000 calories. The max it gives is 980, which is not enough to even sustain an adult woman! No wonder the average weight loss is 14kg in 8 weeks. I have warned the boyfriend that I will be hangry 100% of the time 😂
