Psychologist Bonnie Sanders Polin and food consultant Frances Towner Giedt worked with the staff of Boston's Joslin Diabetes Center to produce The Joslin Diabetes Healthy Carbohydrate Cookbook. They show that it is possible to follow a low-fat and high-carbohydrate diet and maintain proper nutrition for a healthy active life. Their 175 recipes among them, Japanese Seaweed Salad, Bean and Pasta Soup, Curried Couscous with Walnuts, and Chocolate Mousse are all part of the three-week plan of menus. ( Apr.)
