DELICIOUS, MODERN, HEALTHY RECIPES FOR DIABETES

Leanne Katzenelle­nbogen Loot.co.za (R169) Struik

MANY South Africans are affected by insulin resistance or Type 2 diabetes, a metabolic disorder that results in high blood sugar. Diabetes sufferers often think they have to give up a variety of foods, but a combinatio­n of diet and exercise can reduce the risk of developing diabetes and help to maintain optimum blood sugar levels. A balanced diet can stabilise blood glucose levels and reduce sugar cravings, and the key is to consume appropriat­e daily amounts of proteins, carbohydra­tes and fats. The book offers solutions for all occasions, from breakfast and light meals to entertaini­ng, plus ideas for desserts and baking.

The uncomplica­ted recipes are in tune with modern food trends and meet our desire for healthy everyday meals that are easy to

prepare.

Indeed, when your gut is happy, your skin glows with health and you look and feel younger.

It gives readers everything they need to make dramatic changes in their GI health, their weight, their belly fat, and their overall health.
