Finding tasty diabetes recipes can be hard. The Diabetes Cookbook is a free cookbook that provides delicious recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I’ll be honest I bought the book as it was on offer. And I’m glad it was as I don’t think it’s what I’m looking for.

So what is said here is either not evidence-based medicine (yet) nor anything new (the chapter on moving more and how). What about the recipes? I believe we have eaten our way into this epidemic of diabetes and obesity and that we can eat our way out of it' Dr David Unwin from his Foreword With a focus on healthy breakfasts, light lunches and heartier dinners, this recipe book is tailored for the long, hot, summer days. The 33 recipes included have been put together so that they are low in carbs, while still being tasty. There are six interesting and fresh breakfast choices, twelve tasty lunches, including three vegetarian dishes, and fifteen whole dinner recipes. I’m not keen on books by people who “have seen the light”. Unfortunately Science is not religion and anecdotes are not evidence. At the end of the day “a calorie is a calorie is a calorie”, so to loose weight you need to eat less/consume more. This is what is certain at the moment, for the rest the low-fat vs the low-carb groups are still bashing each other and for us normal people there is no easy answer. You need to follow a diet that’s easy for you. I can’t say anything on diabetes (but consider these are anecdotes, again science is not ONE paper, nor a bunch). The food has been filling and quite simple to make... I'm not missing anything. I am satisfied.' Sharon, tester on ITV's Save Lose Weight
