GF stands for gluten free and LG stands for low glycemic index, and in my Fun With GF/LG Food review, you’ll learn how to prepare food that anyone who suffers from food allergies, diabetes, IBS — or other conditions that limit what they can eat– can eat without fear and truly enjoy when they dine with you in your home.

All the recipes in this gluten free low glycemic index cookbook are marked with which ingredients may be prone to cause a reaction in someone sensitive to them, and substitutes are listed that can be used in place of these sensitive foods to make it possible to prepare the dish without having to fear that someone in the family or a guest at a party may react to the food in a bad way.

Trying to find a good diabetic weight loss diet is not always easy; however, there are certain options that are proven to be more effective than others. Here is a brief precis of each, which you may well find suited to you.

Diabetic Food Exchange Diet

The Diabetic Food Exchange Diet is a plan often prescribed by doctors. It works by grouping similar food types together, and each list advises when is best to eat it and how big a portion should be consumed.

When on this plan, it is vital that a regular schedule is kept to, and the measuring of portions is also key.

Atkins Diabetic Diet

The Atkins Diabetic Diet is described through a series of books. These offer targeted meal plans, which steadily increase the amount of carbohydrates allowed in any one day. However, for many the plan doesn’t allow for a great deal of freedom.

Whilst issues are often raised regards this diabetic weight loss diet, there are an equal number of people claiming its success.

Medifast Diabetic Diet Plan

The Medifast Diabetic Diet Plan claims that its use can result in a loss of 20 pounds over a 30 day period. A simple plan; a dieter chooses 5 items to eat each day from prepackaged meals, and/or their “lean and green” make your own recipes.

This has been extremely effective for many people, and does allow greater freedom than other plans. However, it can be open to confusion regards the make your own aspect.

Diabetic Food Pyramid

The Diabetic Food Pyramid is similar, in many ways, to the food exchange diet. Foods are still broken down into groups; though portion control is easier as each type is clearly defined in a pyramid structure; regards the amount, or number, of portions allowed.

Again, weight loss and diabetic concerns are well controlled in most cases; if adherence to the rules of the structure is maintained.

All of these diabetic weight loss plans have proven effective, but it will take work and commitment from the sufferer to take effect.
