Low Carb Low Calorie High Protein 250 Diabetes Recipes

Book excerpt: Even though low-carb diets tend to fill people up so they naturally limit their eating, some low- carbers find that at some point, they need to at least keep an eye on calories. Patients who consumed only 600 calories a day for two months were able to reverse their Type 2 diabetes, according to a groundbreaking British study. The research, involving just 11 patients, suggests a low carb low-calorie diet can remove fat that clogs the pancreas, allowing normal insulin secretion to be restored. But before you start a diabetes weight loss plan, it's important to work closely with your doctor or diabetes educator - because while you’re dieting, your blood sugar, insulin, and medications need special attention. All the recipes also include detailed information on calories, fat, saturated fat, carbohydrates, protein, fiber and sodium, as well as serving sizes with total preparation and cooking time.
