Are you tired and lacking energy? Then Eating for Sustained Energy 4, the latest in the bestselling Eating for Sustained Energy series of recipe books, is for you. Gabi Steenkamp and Liesbet Delport wrote it in response to their patients' need for practical, easy ways to include slow-release carbohydrates in their diet. The glycemic index (GI) is a physiological measure of the effect of carbohydrates on blood glucose levels. It is the perfect instrument for controlling these levels effectively and consistently and what's more, it can help give you sustained energy throughout the day. Liesbet and Gabi have found in practice that the more their patients apply the GI principle, the greater the benefits they experience.
Following the GI diet:
helps people with diabetes improve their blood glucose control
• helps you feel more alert
• stabilises children's blood glucose levels, enabling them to concentrate better
• improves performance on the sports field
• reduces triglyceride levels of those with high cholesterol and helps prevent blood glucose fluctuations in people with hypoglycemia and hyperinsulinemia
• reduces high blood pressure and promotes weight loss.
Gabi Steenkamp, a registered dietician, specialises in the use of diet to control diabetes and colon problems. She is known among her colleagues as a practical dietician who has her feet firmly on the ground.
Liesbet Delport is a registered dietician, founder member of the Glycemic Index Foundation of South Africa (GIFSA) and a partner in a thriving practice in Nelspruit. She has been involved in GI research since 1998 and has a master's degree from the University of Pretoria.
Both Gabi and Liesbet are well known for their talks and workshops, their articles in journals and magazines, as well as their regular radio and television appearances. They pioneered the low-GI diet in South Africa and authored the country's top-selling books on nutrition.
