More than 100 delicious recipes suitable for people with diabetes---and those without! A healthy diet should be an important feature of our daily life and include a variety of foods from all food groups---plenty of vegetables and fruits, breads and cereals, some dairy foods, lean meat and/or meat alternatives, and a small amount of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. Recipes for people with diabetes have traditionally been sugar free. Nutritionists now accept that a small amount of sugar may be enjoyed by individuals with diabetes, as part of a healthy eating plan. All recipes in this book satisfy the nutritional guidelines suitable for diabetes and overall healthy eating. Unless otherwise stated, the recipes use wholegrain cereal products, low-fat dairy products, minimal sugar and polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. In the interests of health and diabetes management, each recipe provides a nutritional analysis for kilojoules, total fat, saturated fat and fibre, calculated for the recipe and per serve. A quick reference glossary includes diabetes-related terms and concepts. This book has been written in the hope that it will benefit and encourage you to follow a nutritious diet and broaden your culinary horizons.
