Diet Advocate

A new cookbook has been launched by Rick Gallop to guide people who suffer from Type 2 diabetes. This book will be a help as Type 2 Diabetes is a rapidly spreading disease in Canada and North America.

And this is making people conscious about the type of diet they should take, as the disease requires controlling weight and blood sugar levels.

The author is well known as has been writing related books since 2002.

Rick is credited with writing eight books first one being "The G. I. Diet" and the recent one has been named "The G. I. Diabetes Clinic". Basically G. I. is used to measure the pace of the body to break down food, as it is converted into glucose. It is therefore recommended to the patients that they should keep away from G. I. rich food.

The book is all about dietary requirements of patients of Type 2 and pre-diabetes.

In the book it has been demonstrated through traffic light color-coding taken from the original "G. I. Diet." The foods that should not be consumed are depicted by red light, yellow light refers to the food that should be eaten occasionally while the green light represent those that one should prefer as a patient of Type 2 Diabetes.

Earlier the low glycemic index diet was created Dr. David Jenkins in 1980. Dr. David was a professor of nutrition at the University of Toronto.

The book is a conclusion of the 13-week online e-clinic that was performed by the author with the help of volunteer Type 2 diabetics and pre-diabetic patients.
