Low Glycemic Recipes

We have provided you with some great low glycemic recipes (scroll to bottom for recipes) made from foods listed on the low glycemic food list to get you started on a new way of eating! Eliminate the high glycemic foods from your pantry and dive into these recipes. As you do you will be able to modify your old recipes by substituting low glycemic foods. These are diabetic recipes.

To make this easy it is best to get rid of all the foods you don't need anymore, the high glycemic foods. They contribute to fat storage, cause food cravings and over eating and are simply not healthy. Throw away your foods with refined, hydrogenated fats that are the unhealthy fats. See the high glycemic foods list for a list of these fats and all high glycemic foods.

In fact, you would be better off to eliminate all the foods with high glycemic sugars. You don't need them and they are the worst culprits for raising your blood sugar. Use the low glycemic sweeteners on the low glycemic food list or even natural sugars can be used for the occasional special dessert.

Now comes the fun part. Stock your pantry with olive oil, raw nuts, seeds, wholegrains and legumes. Many natural foods stores sell olive oil in bulk and you can take your own jar so it is so expensive. Remember you will be using small amounts for cooking and salad dressings.

Become familiar with the low glycemic food list and get to know your local farmer's market. You want to avoid processed foods that have high glycemic preservatives. Buy fresh and local ingredients from your neighbors and support local growers as much as possible. Buy your dried goods and staples at a natural foods stores or in the natural foods section of your super market where you can buy in bulk. Some discount grocery stores now carry organic and unprocessed foods. The outlet grocery store in my town has lots of great brands, goat cheese and even sells organic produce occasionally at very low prices.

Organic foods do cost more because it costs more to grow produce when you are enriching the soils with nutrients and not using toxic chemicals to control pests and weeds. It is more labor intensive but it's certainly better for the planet and for your health. Low glycemic foods other than organic produce are cheaper than high glycemic ones. Look for cookbooks and recipes that incorporate the Mediterranean style of cooking and eating.
