The CSIRO Human Nutrition team that produced the bestselling Total Wellbeing Diet books has joined forces with pre-eminent diabetes research organisation, Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes, to produce a timely diet and lifestyle plan for the prevention and control of type 2 diabetes.
The book begins with an explanation of type 2 diabetes, why it is increasing at an alarming rate as well as its risk factors and consequences. The CSIRO diabetes healthy eating plan that follows offers a way forward for readers wanting to prevent or manage the disease. Based on solid clinical evidence, the plan provides options for those wishing to eat a higher-protein diet or a low-GI carbohydrate diet. Four different levels of the plan allow for those needing to lose weight through to those wanting to maintain weight.
Also includes:
advice on shopping, food labels and eating out | exercise programs for all fitness levels | checklists and resources for diabetes prevention and control | 12 weeks of menu plans | over 80 absolutely delicious, diabetes-friendly recipes.
