THE GOOD CARB COOKBOOK   You need this book if . . . You want to learn how choosing the right carbs can help lower blood sugar and insulin levels, produce better weight loss, and reduce the risk for heart disease, diabetes, and many other health problems. Description Confused about carbohydrates? You're not alone. Recent diet and nutritional advice sends conflicting messages about carbohydrates, ranging from "Eat more for optimal health" to "Nothing could be worse for your health." The Good Carb Cookbook settles this confusion and offers the latest scientific findings on carbohydrates and the glycemic index. Details The Good Carb Cookbook is about choosing healthful foods that have a minimal impact on blood sugar and insulin levels. It is based on the glycemic index (GI), which ranks carbohydrate-containing foods according to how quickly they raise blood sugar levels. How might you benefit from eating lower on the glycemic index? - Weight loss - Better weight control is the number one reason why people are making the change to a low-GI diet, since foods that maintain steady blood sugar levels can help prevent hunger. - Disease prevention - Low-GI diets have been linked to a lower risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and some cancers. - Treatment of insulin- and blood sugar-related disorders - Many people find a low-GI diet beneficial for treating conditions such insulin resistance syndrome (also known as the metabolic syndrome or syndrome X), prediabetes, diabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome, and reactive hypoglycemia. The first part of The Good Carb Cookbook explains why all carbohydrates are not created equal, introduces you to the glycemic index, and shows how eating low-GI foods can improve overall health and help you lose weight. You will discover how to transform your diet, replacing high-GI foods with low-GI alternatives and you will find a wealth of tips for meal planning, snacking smart, eating in restaurants, grocery shopping, and cooking the low-GI way. The appendix lists the GI for hundreds of common foods. The remainder of the book features over 200 delicious user-friendly recipes that prove that eating low on the glycemic index can be both easy and immensely enjoyable. With The Good Carb Cookbook, you'll soon be on your way to cooking and eating low on the glycemic index. Table of Contents: Chapter 01. All Carbohydrates are Not Created Equal Chapter 02.
