Book Description

Series: Glucose Revolution | Publication Date: February 26, 2008

Low GI eating has advantages for everyone-including healthy, growing children. By raising blood glucose and insulin levels more gradually and evenly (which means food is more filling), low GI diets reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes and obesity. An essential guide to raising and nourishing children of all ages, The New Glucose Revolution Low GI Family Cookbook has ideas for healthy meals for every time of day, from breakfast to dinner to dessert. You’ll also learn strategies to help kids make smart food choices, how to plan balanced diets and substitute high GI foods with low GI alternatives, and information for feeding kids with food allergies or sensitivities. With low GI varieties of family favorites like mac ’n’ cheese and spaghetti with meatballs, this cookbook also includes many other tasty, kid-tested recipes, including, baked crispy fish pieces, French toast with strawberry and banana topping, cheesy vegetable patties, frozen berry yogurt popsicles, homemade popcorn, and easy tomato tuna pasta. Providing your family with the nutrition they require can be a challenge when you’re confronted with a range of ages and preferences. But with The New Glucose Revolution Low GI Family Cookbook, you can feed your whole family nutritious and enticing meals while learning the healthy eating habits of the GI-for a lifetime of health and vitality.

This book helped me to eat right. I was a pre-diabetic weighing 235 lbs. Since following this book's guidelines in August, 2007, my blood glucose now is less than a 100, my weight has dropped to 188 pounds, and my trouser size has gone from a 42 to a 36. I highly recommend this book to anyone with heart trouble, diabetes, to anyone wanting to live a health lifestyle.

This review is from: The New Glucose Revolution Low GI Family Cookbook: Raise Food-Smart Kids--100 Fun and Delicious Recipes Made Healthy with the Glycemic Index (Paperback)

We're trying to eat a healthier diet as a family, so I've been hunting for cookbooks to help. A lot of recipes in this category would be too "weird" for my kids to try--they'd just turn up their noses at it. This cookbook offers many kid-friendly recipes, plus has a chapter on helping your kids eat a healthier diet in general. The only complaint I have is that the dinner section falls back on some of those "weird" recipes that I know my kids would never touch, plus many recipes that call for some unusual ingredients like lamb--not a staple in my corner of the world.
