Description

The latest research on diabetes & food, key nutritional & lifestyle recommendations, cooking & shopping tips, and 100 great recipes. Supported by the Diabetes Research & Wellness Foundation. By Antony Worral Thompson & Azmina Govindji (2009) 143pp

Diabetes is traditionally associated with a restricted diet, where sugar is banned and meals are confined to uninteresting, but nutritious foods. In fact, the truth is that by observing a few simple rules such as incorporating low glycaemic index foods and eating a balanced diet, it is easy to live with diabetes and still enjoy good food.

Healthy Eating for Diabetes offers 100 delicious recipes created by Antony Worrall Thompson, who has been diagnosed with Syndrome X, a condition that can lead to diabetes. And while each dish has been carefully monitored by diabetes dietitian Azmina Govindji, these recipes are so enticing that they could easily be mistaken for standard recipes. And that is the point of this book.

Antony Worrall Thompson has used all his culinary skills to create taste and texture using the healthiest ingredients and cooking methods to ensure that you can change your diet without giving up on flavour. There are rich soups, flavoursome vegetables, succulent meat dishes and, of course, divine desserts. Antony and Azmina also explain how to adapt recipes so they use less sugar and fat - for example, using the natural sweetness of fresh or dried fruit instead of sugar - so that you still can enjoy your favourite dishes.

Azmina Govindji explains how to manage your diabetes by improving your lifestyle and discusses the principles behind healthy eating and weight management. She explains the glycaemic index (GI) of food and how to use it to manage your blood glucose (sugar) levels as well as how this means you can enjoy sweet foods. She also gives advice on how to maintain healthy eating habits in the long-term, cooking for a family, shopping for food, eating out and fast food.

Whether you have diabetes or live with someone who does, this is a book for food lovers who know that healthy food should also mean delicious food.
