Anyone read this book? "Low-Starch Solution: 6 Steps..."

Hi,

Diagnosed last August and so far controlling BS with diet and exercise reasonable success. Recently though I've been having trouble stablising BS levels so I'm now wondering whether to try the low-carb route and wondered if anyone here has read "The Low-Starch Diabetes Solution: Six Steps to Optimal Control of Your Adult-Onset (Type 2) Diabetes"?

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0071621504

Of the hundreds of books I've looked at (some of which I've bought), I find I'm not that keen on US versions for the simple reason I don't like recipes that use 'cups'! (Silly, I know ..)

I'd appreciate any thoughts you have.

Thanks.
 
yes,i have read the book & i sent it back to amazon.
what he said has been said before.
he just says too keep of starches like potatoes,rice,pasta,corn chip,bread,flour.
he says that sugar isn't the enemy & that you can have chocolate & sweets as we tend not to eat as much as we do in potatoes etc....
what he is saying that to stay away from the starches as we eat them in large amounts but we can have sugar as we tend to eat them in smaller amount's.
the book is ok but not what i was looking for.
i wouldn't really class it as a low carb book as you can have sugar,milk,fruit.i would class it as a moderate carb diet.
 
Hi Daffodilhil

The library is a good source of information too but the forum is the best because you know it is tried and tested!

You could always buy those 'cups' and then weigh whatever you have measured so that you can convert the recipe for the future. 8)
