The Gluten-Free Nutrition Guide Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is a great first book for gluten-free initiates. I've been eating a gluten-free diet for about a year now--reading tons of literature on the subject--so most of this book was a review for me. However, there were some gems about certain nutrients that I may lack and creative ways to add them to my diet. The recipes were also helpful and quick to make, unlike many other gluten-free recipe books where you have to have custom flour blends on hand to make anything.

Sugar-Free Toddlers: Over 100 Recipes Plus Sugar Ratings for Store-Bought Foods Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I almost wasn't interested in this book because the title made me think that this book would have bland and boring recipes.But after flipping through it I saw lots of things that sounded good to try.And almost every recipe so far has been a huge hit with my 18 month old son.This is amazing to me because I thought he was picky. I guess I just wasn't giving him the kind of foods he likes. This book is, as other critics have noted, NOT sugar free.Fruit juice is a sugar.But I do not consider this a drawback because I think that people who don't eat any sugar of any kind are kidding themselves.The key is to use healthy forms of sugar and not too much.The main reason I was anxious to try these recipes is that nearly all of them use whole-wheat flour or some other whole grain flour and I am a big believer in using whole grains.So nutritious and full of fiber.Best recipes so far that I can highly recommend: Orange-date snack cake, Pilgrim pancakes, and Toddler date bread stix.The Coconut Pineapple cookies, however, were not very good.They were not even remotely sweet enough and were more like a pancake than a cookie.But I heated them up and buttered them and my son ate them for breakfast!So really, what it comes down to is that toddlers DO like these recipes.My son prefers them over the white flour, preservative laced stuff from the store.You can't protect your kids from sugar their whole lives, so give them a healthy alternative.

Jenny McCarthy made this book even more famous when she referenced it extensively in her 2008 bestseller, Louder Than Words:"I knew the months ahead would seem like years while I waited for services, so I decided to educate myself on diet interventions. I ordered a book called Special Diets for Special Kids Two. ... The book came in the mail. Special Diets for Special Kids Two. I couldn't wait to read it and fill my eager heart with more knowledge. I was blown away when I read that mothers often noticed that their autistic children were malnourished because they couldn't absorb nutrients from food. ... Could it really be true? Could diet make that much of an impact? ... I found it completely fascinating and exciting that a diet could help. ... I couldn't believe that the gut could correlate to the brain and that what I fed Evan could have a direct link to his behaviors. But I was inspired and willing to give a diet a shot. ... so I made this my new mission."

Superimmunity for Kids : What to Feed Your Children to Keep Them Healthy Now, and Prevent Disease in Their Future Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I really enjoyed reading this book, it was very helpful and I agreed with much of what the author said about nutrition. I use much of the information that he gave almost regularly. I have to say however, that much of what LeoGalland states is good but also very difficult to pull off the majority ofthe time.
I wanted to mention that some of the things are just notdo-able with young kids.Much of what he asks us to feed our kids, is notstuff they would eat...especially a child who is 2 years old. ie: liver,seafood stew, oysters, etc. He also tells you to limit sugar to 1 tsp a daytotal, no added salt on stuff, no fast food restaurants or pizzarias, andno hydrogenated oils etc.These thing may be well and good, but also verydifficult for the average mom or dad to pull off EVERY day, especially withtodays "supermarket" foods.The book has some good recipes,and some good helpful hints, it even got us eating tofu... but please beaware that you may come away from this book feeling overwhelmed by what youshould do and guilty by what you are, or are not doing.
I read it as ahelpful tool that helped me make MANY healthy changes and decisions...butnot something that I took on as "religion" or something I can doas an EVERY day occurance.

The Low-Carb Comfort Food Cookbook Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After a year of losing 40 pounds eating according to their earlier book, Protein Power, I began searching for ways to expand my menus. I have bought several other cookbooks looking for adequate alternatives to baked goods, but was never happy with the results: Often too delicate, or too bitter, or they'd fall...
Now along comes Drs. Eades and Ursula Solom with recipes that are exactly what they advertise: Comfort Foods. Tonight, we enjoyed delicious Chili Con Carne with Black Soy Beans and slices of Best Whole Wheat Bread and butter. All low-carb, satisfying and delicious. For breakfast, we added a slice of Super Banana Bread mini-loaf to our plate of ham and eggs. Hard to believe it was low-carb, it tasted (and rose) just like the real McCoy.
Most of the recipes freeze, so I can make a variety of baked goods on the weekend, freeze and have them handy for days to come.
I can hardly wait to try the Cinnamon Rolls, Chocolate Chip Cookies, Elegant Biscuits and so much more.
If you enjoy a low-carb lifestyle, this book belongs in your arsenal.

A User Guide to the GF/CF Diet for Autism, Asperger Syndrome and AD/HD Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am the grandmother of a wonderful 6-year-old boy who has been diagnosed autistic, and I've read both Luke Jackson's books (written at ages 12 and 13) in order to get a more complete understanding of the condition from a "kids eye view".I can only hope that Luke keeps writing for the masses.
This particular book is a treasure.The reader is treated to Luke's keen powers of observation and unflagging sense of humor, as always.We also get a couple of chapters written by his exceptional mother, Jacqui, who modestly denies being a "superwoman."(I beg to differ.) It's Jacqui who convinced me that if a woman in charge of a household of eight persons can master the art of gluten-free cooking, then the rest of us just might be equal to the task, as well.Last but not least, recipes, menus, and tips on acquiring and organizing necessary equipment are provided in thorough, easy-to-understand detail.
Perhaps all that might not sound exciting to the average person, but I can assure you that this is one of the most interesting and absorbing books ever to address the titled topics.Witness:in the middle of a work week, I began reading the book at about 11:30 p.m. and read it straight through.I couldn't put it down until I finished at nearly 3:00 a.m.
Inspired by Luke's work, I have gone on line to look up more information about gluten-free diets and related topics and have found a wealth of valuable information.However, the language I used to talk my grandson's family into attempting this new lifestyle came straight from the book reviewed here.
An invaluable resource.A "must" read for anyone dealing with a person who on "the autism scale."Thank you and bravo, Luke, Jacqui and Marilyn Le Breton.You have made a very necessary contribution with this publication.
