The global spread of diabetes has reached epidemic proportions. Here in the US, 1 in 3 adults is at risk of diabetes and is already, often unknowingly, in the pre-diabetes stage. The good news is that by adopting a low-carb diet and engaging in regular exercise, those in the pre-diabetes stage can not only halt but even reverse their condition. Dodging Diabetes Deliciously offers a timely intervention in the form of 16 meals with fewer than 20 grams of carbohydrate each – including dessert! The recipes have been glucose-tested on the chef, Connie Holmes, Ed.D (herself working to reverse her pre-diabetes) and are simple and easy-to-prepare. But this is no ordinary diabetes prevention cookbook. This mouth-watering collection – drawing on fresh, local, organic and seasonal ingredients and illustrated with vivid photography – is a celebration of good food and good health. It is also is a valuable source of information for those tackling the challenge of pre-diabetes. Co-authored by Martha Snider, M.D., Dodging Diabetes Deliciously includes several appendices, carefully researched, that address issues such as the role of weight loss, timing of meals and the use of artificial sweeteners. Dodging Diabetes Deliciously will guide and inspire all those seeking to avoid the ravages of diabetes and wanting to take creative and constructive control of their health.
