Diabetes is a disease that needs to be strictly monitored, and it's important to find a healthy diet that will help keep your glucose levels in check.
For diabetics, the need for large amounts of carbohydrates wasn't known until recently. However, the truth is that high-carbohydrate diets can cause blood sugar levels to rise quickly. Even worse, eating a lot of carbs can often lead to weight gain and type 2 diabetes. In fact, excessive carb intake is linked to an increased risk for obesity and glucose intolerance in people with insulin resistance.
For example, one study found that a high-carbohydrate diet increased weight in subjects with type 2 diabetes by 17 pounds over a six-year period. Plus, this group of participants also experienced a significant increase in waist size and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels.
Moreover, the same study found that individuals who ate more protein every day had significantly less weight gain and smaller increases in waist size than those who consumed more carbohydrates. In fact, eating more than 35% of calories from carbs significantly increased waist circumference (by 3 inches).
But even if you don't have diabetes or insulin resistance, eating excessive amounts of carbohydrates can be problematic for some people.
This cookbook can help you get in control of your blood sugar and avoid the highs and lows that are so common among diabetics. It contains everything you need to know about setting up a diabetic diet as well as many delicious recipes to help you follow it successfully.
