FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description A complete guide and cookbook to selecting and using the best carbohydrates to lose weight, maintain blood sugar levels, and improve overall health. Not all carbs are created equal. In fact, the latest dietary research shows that different carbohydrates have varying effects on the body, depending on the rate at which they raise blood sugar levels—also known as a food's glycemic index (GI). Choosing a balance of foods that are low on the GI will speed weight loss and control diabetes, insulin resistance, and cardiovascular disease. In The Good Carb Cookbook, Sandra Woodruff demystifies the carbohydrate confusion by explaining the real differences among carbohydrates (baked potatoes are high on the index, while sweet potatoes are low), and shares her secrets for eating low on the index. The book includes an invaluable table with hundreds of common foods and their glycemic index rating; more than two hundred recipes to get people cooking and eating low on the index; and tips to modify high-glycemic family favorites with low-glycemic ingredients, lose weight, maintain blood sugar, and achieve optimal health. Back Cover Confused about carbohydrates? Youre 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 waistline." Fortunately, in The Good Carb Cookbook, bestselling cookbook author and nutritional expert Sandra Woodruff settles this confusion and offers the latest scientific findings on carbohydrates and the glycemic index (GI). In truth, there are good carbohydrates and bad carbohydrates. But what makes some carbohydrates better than others? One of the most important factors is the rate at which they raise blood sugar levels-their glycemic index. Eating a diet based on foods with a low glycemic index has been proven to help prevent such disorders as obesity, diabetes, insulin resistance, and cardiovascular disease. The Good Carb Cookbook shows how to eat low on the glycemic index for optimal health. It explains what the glycemic index is, lists the GI for hundreds of common foods, demonstrates how eating low-GI foods can improve overall health and help you lose weight, and suggests how to transform your diet, replacing high-GI foods with low-GI alternatives. With more than 200 delicious recipes, youll soon be on your way to cooking and eating low on the glycemic index.
