Quick and Easy Low Glycemic Index Recipes - by Dick Logue (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Medical professionals and dietitians recommend the Low-GI diet both for the prevention of heart disease and diabetes and for the safe and effective management of existing conditions. An added benefit is that it's a terrific diet for weight loss, too, in part because it is a low-carb diet. Indeed, author Dick Logue has walked this walk: Diagnosed with congestive heart failure two decades ago, he has returned to good health by following the Low-GI diet. Along the way, he has created tons of amazing recipes that have made his return to good health a delectably enjoyable journey.

Quick and Easy Low Glycemic Index Recipes offers:

• Low-GI recipes for snacks, main dishes, and even desserts
• Simple food swaps to lower the GI index of a meal or dish, such as sweet potatoes for white potatoes, using whole wheat rather than white pasta, and swapping berries in for bananas
• Low-GI versions of traditionally high-GI foods such as breads, pastas, desserts, and casseroles.
