Publisher's Synopsis
Diabetes can be a serious and debilitating condition. For those suffering from this disease, the right diet is extremely important. Consuming a diet rich in vegetables and fruit is vital to controlling diabetes, and avoiding certain foods that can make diabetes worse is equally important. One of the main causes of diabetes is eating a poor diet that contains high amounts of calories, sodium and sugar. Here are some useful tips for controlling diabetes: - Consume healthy carbohydrates, these contain a lower glycaemic index and will keep you feeling full for longer. Healthy carbohydrates include whole grains, fruits, nuts and beans. - Include fresh seafood in your diet. Salmon, cod and tuna are low in fat and some fish such as salmon are natural sources of omega 3 fats. - Eat well-balanced meals. Proper meals should consist of at least half vegetables and only 1/4 of the meal should include meat! This cookbook contains a healthy collection of recipes that are compatible with diabetes. These recipes will keep you on the right track to controlling this disease and living a healthy lifestyle. Many people assume that once one has diabetes, then they must be on a strict diet that is tedious and painful to keep this disease under control. This is clearly untrue, the recipes in this book are just as delicious as any non-diabetic recipe!
