Low GI Recipes
"Gushers" are quickly-digested carbohydrates that cause a rapid rise in blood glucose and fuel appetite.
"Tricklers" are slowly-digested carbohydrates that are slowly released into the bloodstream and sustain satiety."

Expertise in individualized, low-glycemic index (low GI) meal planning.
For more than 35 years I have been cooking Italian meals, some of those years actually living in Italy.
For more than 20 years I have been providing nutrition counseling to patients who have diet-related health problems or just a genuine interest in improving their diet.
For more than 15 years I have been implementing the concept of the glycemic index (GI) into my professional instruction as well as my home cooking.
The following Low GI Recipes are a reflection of my past cultural and professional experiences. They have a primarily Italian flair and flavor to them... and they are all low or moderate on the glycemic index.
Finally, these Low GI Recipes are simple, and intended for the home cook. Buon appetito!
