What we eat and how much exercise we do determines our long-term health. Unfortunately, more people are suffering from preventable lifestyle chronic diseases. For anyone who has diabetess this book answers common questions and provides practical information and management solutions.
In CSIRO Low-Carb Diabetes Every Day the authors begin by explaining how the CSIRO low-carb diet and exercise plan can help reduce risk factors, dramatically improve blood glucose control and decrease the need for diabetes medication. It can help you reduce your weight and, in some cases, it can even put type 2 diabetes into remission.
Providing the latest research and evidence, the authors outline a simple diet and exercise plan that is easy to follow. It covers everything from a daily food guide to how to stock your kitchen. Over 80 delicious recipes and meal plans offer a lot of variety and choice that won’t leave you or your family feeling like you (or they) are on a special diet or have gone without. The exercise plan sets achievable goals and covers aerobic exercise, resistance training and flexibility and balance training.
The appendices and index are a boon – providing a quick and handy reference to everything from suggestions on what to cook for dinner to basic scientific facts and figures.
