Full Flavor, Low Sugar: A Diabetic-Friendly Holiday

The holidays are where a diabetes diagnosis goes to be tested — and this book is how it passes. When Dr. Christopher D. Pritchard, D.D. was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, he refused to give up the table — so he rebuilt the food instead. Full Flavor, Low Sugar: A Diabetic-Friendly Holiday is the whole season rebuilt: 51 recipes from the Thanksgiving turkey to the Christmas ham to the last slice of pie, all low-sugar and low-carb, all tasting like the holiday. Every single recipe carries full carb counts — total carbs, fiber, and net carbs per serving — plus calories and protein. And because strategy matters as much as recipes in December, there's a full chapter on getting through the season: plate-building at a loaded table, dessert math, party and buffet tactics, and what to say to the relative who keeps filling your plate. Not diet food. Not sad food. The holiday, yours again.
