Are You Sweet Enough Already?: Low Glycemic Load Desserts for Blood Sugar Control

By Judy Lickus

Book Overview

This practical recipe set includes both Metric and US measures for each ingredient.

Power your health to an all-time high at any age with these 10 delicious custom-crafted low Glycemic Index (GI), low Glycemic Load (GL) dessert recipes.

You will feel the difference right away - because these low glycemic load desserts don't spike your blood sugar level after you eat them.

Spikes happen when some carbohydrate foods turn into glucose during digestion. Raised glucose levels trigger the release of insulin - to lower the spikes. Insulin shuttles any unused glucose into fat cells for storage causing weight gain and a host of other problems.

This response is the root cause of most disease, and can lead us on the path to abundant health. We can identify the carbohydrates that cause these spikes by using the Glycemic Index (GI). Glycemic Index is a ranking system that shows us how our bodies respond to different carbohydrate foods.

The lower our bodies' glycemic response is to a food, the better that food is for our health, both mental and physical. The fact is that each and every level of insulin resistance, including type 2 diabetes can be naturally reversed when you use the Glycemic Index (GI).

By using GI information you can build your recipes using low glycemic options to substitute for high glycemic ingredients, just like we did for the low Glycemic Load (GL) dessert recipes in this book.

Glycemic Load is the result of a simple calculation. Once you have done the calculation, you know what a good serving size is, and most importantly, how your body will respond to a carbohydrate food.

Each of these low-carbohydrate, wheat-free dessert recipes include comprehensive nutrition information for each serving. Besides the important Glycemic Index (GI) ranking and Glycemic Load (GL) score for each serving, you'll also see the calories, protein, carbohydrate, fiber, fat and sodium for each serving.

This groundbreaking guide comes complete with a bonus section including step-by-step instructions that walk you through the process of creating your own low glycemic load recipes and meals for every occasion. Get it now
