Eat What You Love Love What You Eat With Diabetes

Library Journal Physician May (Am I Hungry? What To Do When Diets Don't Work), with dietician and diabetes educator Fletcher, applies the principles she presented in her earlier book, Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat: How To Break Your Eat-Repent-Repeat Cycle, to eating properly with diabetes. Herself a former "yo-yo dieter," May criticizes fad diets and emphasizes a thoughtful, stable relationship with food. She instructs readers to think about how and why they eat, to learn to recognize whether they are really hungry and when they've had enough, and to savor each mouthful for its taste and sensuality. In addition, she covers exercise programs, monitoring blood sugar, and responding to failures. Managing the disease is made much easier with May's guide to mindful eating. VERDICT This is an excellent manual for developing a healthy diet and improving overall well-being for people with diabetes. Highly recommended for those at risk of, or diagnosed with, diabetes and their families.—Susan B. Hagloch, formerly with Tuscarawas Cty. P.L., New Philadelphia, OH
