Description

Low Glycemic Load Eating for Blood Sugar Control Low Glycemic Happiness is full of groundbreaking low carbohydrate, low glycemic load recipes for people who have diabetes, or worry about diabetes. LGH contains 120 low carb, low glycemic load recipes suitable for blood sugar control. These recipes -- 30 breakfasts, 30 lunches, 30 dinner entrées, 30 sides, plus a bonus of 30 additional snacks -- are easy-to-prepare, healthy, and low in carbohydrate content and glycemic impact. You will be able to create delicious low glycemic meals in minutes. "Low glycemic" is a term that describes a carb-based food which does not rapidly raise blood sugar levels when the proper amounts are eaten. That's where the Glycemic Load comes in. It is a formula that makes it much easier to control your blood sugar levels because it tells you exactly how much carbohydrate is in a single serving. Controlling blood sugar levels is vital for anyone living with diabetes and for those who are pre-diabetic. Indeed, top authorities say that if you are prediabetic you may be able to prevent the "tipping point" into full onset diabetes by monitoring the glycemic load of the foods you eat. If you already have diabetes, the authorities continue, you can better control your blood sugar levels by careful selection of low glycemic load foods. This is not just another low carbohydrate diet or a "take-our-word-for-it" low glycemic diabetic cooking book. These are genuine low glycemic, low carb recipes, yet they are more: They are low Glycemic Index recipes as proven by both their low GI rankings and their Low Glycemic Load scores shown for each and every recipe. When did you ever see a similar book do that? Author Breecher, who has had type 2 diabetes since 1995, created this book with co-author Judy Lickus, because he couldn't find a low glycemic book that explained how they knew that what they were recommending was really low glycemic. Too many supposedly low GI books don't even mention the Low Glycemic Load factor. Many of the recipes provided had too much carbohydrate and shot Dr. Breecher's blood sugar levels too high. You can be assured the recipes in Low Glycemic Happiness work because the authors provide the GI rankings and GL scores of each. Low GI/GL eating has been proven to reduce your risks of developing diabetes, heart attacks, and strokes. Every recipe in this cookbook, even the snacks, are low carbohydrate because they contain only 30 or fewer carb grams and they are low glycemic, all with Glycemic Load scores of ten or lower. (Ten is the upper limit for a single serving of a carb-based food to be low glycemic). With 314 million people considered prediabetic worldwide and 247 million living with full-onset diabetes, the need for low glycemic load eating has never been greater. Low Glycemic Happiness recipes can help you improve blood sugar control while reducing insulin resistance in those who are already diabetic or prediabetic. The Glycemic Load has been proven to be the "single best predictor" of the human body's glycemic (blood sugar) response to carbohydrate foods, agreed leading international medical and nutrition experts who gathered at a precedent-establishing Consensus Conference on this subject in 2013. Study after published medical study confirm that eating true low Glycemic Index and low Glycemic Load meals reduces the risk of diabetes and coronary heart disease, and can even help people lose excess weight thus making Low Glycemic Happiness recipes useful to anyone looking for authentic low GLmeals. Using the low glycemic load recipes in this book, you can create a true low glycemic lifestyle -- diabetic cooking at its best. The health benefits are real. The food is delicious. Enjoy Low Glycemic Happiness today!
