Synopsis: The best-selling gluten-free recipe book, now available as an ebook. More than 200,000 Australians have coeliac disease, and many others with gluten intolerance or other conditions are discovering the benefits of switching to a gluten-free diet. Widely recognised as the most significant dietary finding of the last twenty-five years, the gylcemic index (GI) is an easy-to-understand measure of how foods affect blood glucose levels. Low-GI diets improve health and weight control, lower 'bad' cholesterol and help prevent or reduce your risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, cancer and other chronic diseases. In LOW GI DIET FOR GLUTEN-FREE COOKING the best-selling Low GI Diet team explain clearly and simply how to combine the ground rules of a gluten-free diet with the lifelong health benefits of low-GI eating to enable you to live well and stay healthy. It includes: seven simple dietary guidelines for eating gluten-free and low GI; how to find and source gluten-free products; Low-GI substitutes for common high-GI foods; 100 delicious, easy-to-prepare recipes with dishes for each meal of the day; GI tables with values for popular gluten-free foods.
