Hello, this is Dr. Maury Breecher. First of all, I want to thank you for visiting this website and for giving me an opportunity to speak to you through this recorded message.
You’ve come to this website to find out what “low glycemic” means and how or whether low glycemic recipes can help your condition.
- Perhaps you’re struggling to lose weight.
- Perhaps you have a problem with acne.
- Or perhaps you have Type 2 diabetes or have been told by your doctor that you are prediabetic.
- Perhaps you would like to lose a few pounds and would like to have access to tasty recipes that won’t spike your blood sugar.
- Perhaps you simply wish to change your diet to include healthier foods.
Low glycemic foods are healthier foods.
We all know how important diet can be to our health. Our energy levels, our sense of well-being, and even our skin all react to diet. Normalized blood sugar levels will help you lose weight, control acne, and, if you are diabetic, help prevent complications.
I want to help you feel better about your appearance and improve your health. If you have acne, I want to show you how a healthier diet can help you have beautiful, glowing skin.
Regardless of your reasons, the recipes and information provided through this site will help you reach your goals.
If the word glycemic sounds new and strange to you, don’t worry. The word glycemic orginates from the word glucose. Low glycemic mean low glucose or low sugar.
The glycemic index is a fairly simple concept. Think of your body as an engine; carbohydrates are the fuel. You can think of carbohydrates as the chunks of wood that keep a fire burning, a little like the fire that keeps a steam engine going. In order to run your engine — that is, your body efficiently — you want to use wood that burns very slowly so it will last a long time.
Low glycemic foods are like slow-burning wood. As your body uses low glycemic foods, they release glucose very slowly. With low glycemic foods, your body gets glucose at a nice, slow rate and runs smoothly.
On the other hand, high glycemic foods are like pouring gasoline on a fire. The fire burns very hot, but dies down quickly. High glycemic foods release glucose quickly and cause dangerous surges called spikes in your blood sugar levels.
I have had type 2 diabetes since 1995 and I have also struggled most of my life to maintain a healthy weight. As a medical writer, I know the science of carbohydrates, the science behind the glycemic index, and how both affect diabetes and weight control.
But just understanding the facts didn’t make it easy to eat the way I should.
- I needed a plan.
- I needed healthy recipes that I could fix easily in my small kitchen, and that I would actually ENJOY eating!
- I needed information.
And, very importantly –
- I needed a community of support!
Does my story sound like yours?
- Have you recently been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes? Or, are you pre-diabetic?
