Description

Eat yourself healthy and reduce your risk of heart disease with low-fat (low saturated fat), high carbohydrate, high-fibre and low glysemic index foods. Modern medical research clearly confirms that slowly digested, low GI carbohydrate foods like pastas, grainy breads, breakfast cereals based on wheat bran and oats, and many popular Mediterranean-style foods play an important part in treating and preventing heart disease. What's more, these foods are also important for blood glucose control and weight loss. This pocket guide shows you how to choose the right amount and the right kind of carbohydrate foods for lifelong health and wellbeing. It includes: a 7-day low-fat, low GI meal plan for heart health; the low-fat, low GI healthy heart pantry checklist; and the GI factor, fat and carbohydrate content of more than 300 tested foods.
