Diabetes & Heart Healthy Meals for Two (Paperback) by American Diabetes Association (Author), American Heart Association (Author)

Twice as tasty . . . but with half the ingredients!

People with diabetes want heart-healthy recipes, since heart disease strikes people with diabetes twice as often as the rest of the population. But they also want recipes that taste great. In Diabetes & Heart Healthy Meals for Two, the two largest health associations in America team up to provide recipes that are simple, flavorful, and perfect for people with diabetes who are worried about improving or maintaining their cardiovascular health. A follow-up to Diabetes & Heart Healthy Cookbook, published in 2006, this newest collaboration from the American Diabetes Association and the American Heart Association focuses on meals with only two servings. Because so many adults with diabetes are older, two-serving meals are perfect for those without children in the house—or even those living alone who want to keep leftovers to a minimum.

The 3-Hour Diet Cookbook (Paperback)

The USA Today fitness gurufollows up his bestselling 3-Hour Diet with this cookbook full of meal plans, weight loss tricks and inspirational testimonials. Recipes are, for the most part, surprisingly satisfying: fresh, well-seasoned and appealing enough to tempt even those unconcerned about their waistlines. The 3-Hour Diet requires weight-loss hopefuls to eat every three hours; the portion sizes in this cookbook are accordingly modest, but the recipes include indulgences like mozzarella cheese, semisweet chocolate and even filet mignon. Rich in fiber, lean protein and healthy fats, these offerings don't break any new culinary ground, but they're flavorful and easy to prepare. Barbecued Flank Steak with Grilled Veggies and Rice is a fast and delicious weeknight treat, while Sauteed Scallops with Spinach over Polenta are glam enough to serve to dinner guests. Even desserts, like the Mini Ice-Cream Sandwich, are easy and fulfilling. Some cooks will be puzzled by recipes' unnecessary shortcuts (like the canned fruit in Grilled Pork Cutlets With Citrus Salsa), and by the fact that recipes' nutritional information isn't included, a surprising oversight in a diet cookbook.

The Kid-Friendly ADHD and Autism Cookbook: The Ultimate Guide to the Gluten-Free, Casein-Free Diet (Hardcover)

The best kid-friendly recipes and guide to the gluten-free milk-free diet for ADHD and Autism.What it is. Why it works. How to do it.

The Centers for Disease Control reports significant increases in Autism and ADHD - both affecting primarily boys. The CDC estimates that 1 out of 175 children (age 4 to 17) currently have Autism (300,000). Before 1985, Autism occurred in less than 1 out of 2000. ADHD is much more common in that it affects 4.4 million U.S. children (age 4 to 17).

Common to both of these conditions is the negative impact of certain foods - especially milk products and glutens such as wheat(and to a lesser degree - soy and corn.) One of the challenges that parents face is coping with children who have picky appetites and crave the very foods that affect their behavior, focus and development. The other challenge is finding ways to get their children to eat healthy foods and improve their nutritional status.

The uniqueness of this book is that it not only provides gluten-free milk-free substitutes and recipes, it provides successful suggestions for feeding the picky eater. The authors share details about just how and why the diet works. The specialty ingredients are explained and extensive sources provided. There are also testimonials from the parents and from the children themselves.

About the Author

Pamela Compart, M.D., is a developmental pediatrician and a functional medicine physician. She is the founder and director of HeartLight Healing Arts, Inc., which is an integrated health care center providing comprehensive traditional and complementary medicine services for children and adults.
