A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Diabetes and sugar are traditionally seen as mutually exclusive and it is frequently believed that people with diabetes have to give up their favourite foods, especially sweet dishes, and maintain strict eating habits. The truth is that by observing a few simple rules like basing meals on starchy, carbohydrate foods, and eating a balanced diet, it is possible to live with diabetes and still enjoy good food. And by adapting recipes for cakes and puddings you can continue to eat your favourite desserts. This book explains how to manage your diabetes through food and eat a balanced diet. It explains the glycaemic index (GI) of foods and how to use it to manage your glucose levels. And although there are a few foods (fizzy drinks, sweets) that should be avoided, sweet foods can still be enjoyed as long as you balance them with low GI foods. Anthony Worall Thompson explains how to adapt recipes so that they use less sugar and fat - for example, using the natural sweetness of fresh or dried fruit instead of sugar - and also offers delicious, low-sugar recipes created specially for this book.

Présentation de l'éditeur

'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 be easily 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 can still enjoy your favourite dishes.
