New from Human and Rousseau, Best of Eating for Sustained Energy by Gabi Steenkamp and Liesbet Delport (also available in Afrikaans as Beste van Eet vir volgehoue energie):

More and more people are realising the everyday advantages of following a low-GI (Glycaemic Index) diet. Besides resulting in sustained energy levels, improved concentration and increased stamina, low-GI eating holds the following specific health benefits:

• lowered and stabilised blood glucose levels in diabetics
• easier permanent weight-loss
• improved concentration in children with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)
• improved performance for sportsmen and women
• reduced cholesterol and blood pressure levels

Gabi and Liesbet have put together the best and popular recipes from the series, which includes 4 titles for everyday use. The family-friendly recipes include low GI versions of popular dishes like scones, creamy spinach soup and desserts – proving that you don’t have to sacrifice taste or indulgence for good health.

The detailed introduction explains exactly how the Glyceamic Index works, and gives practical guidelines on low-GI, low-fat eating for specific conditions. The handy GI food lists will become an indispensable tool in identifying suitable food types and products.
