The 8 Pillars to Living the Low GI Slow Sugar Life

I'm a process kinda person.
Anyone who has worked with me would say that. 
Mr. GiGi loves to make fun of my coloured stickers and labels.
I like to break "tasks" into easy step by step processes. 
"Start here. Follow the arrows. When you've got to the box that says "end" you know you haven't missed a step".


 
It's just what I do.
 
I suppose this goes along with the fact that I like to file things too, so I can find them easily later.
 
The common denominators?
 
"Ease" and "structure".
Those 2 things make life a better place for me.
 
I have learnt that in the midst of chaos I stop, go to my quiet place, breath my magic three breaths, reassure myself it's all good and go on.
I really do, do this.
Breathing in through the nose to the count or 6 and out through the mouth for the count of 8 has been shown to release your happy hormones - calming and reassuring you. IT WORKS - try it!
 
As a nurse, it has always come in handy. For me, it gives me a quick moment to formulate my plan of attack!
As a cook, nothing is different.
 
The same principles applied, when I decided a formula for low GI-ing favourite and traditional recipes, would really make things a lot easier. 
Just because I wanted to live a low GI life, I still wanted to have recipes that I'd grown up with or cooked for myself.
Like this Chocolate Self Saucing Pudding




As you know, you'll never stick with something if it involves depriving yourself.
 
So, I came up with:

The Eight Pillars to Living the Low GI Slow Sugar Life
 
The lower GI eating and cooking formula, to slow digestion and de-fatify your body, at the same time.

As I have said before, as a women, I have been utterly sucked in by all the "noise" about what we "should" and "shouldn't" eat and when. I question everything.

In my upcoming book "Living the Low GI Slow Sugar Life - Low GI-ing Traditional Recipes"

  • Eliminate the "shoulds" - clear the food roadblocks.
  • There is no cutting out of food groups or particular nutrients, even carbohydrates!
  •  Learn the Eight Pillars of Low GI Slow Sugar cooking and eating

  • Living the low GI life is full of joyful some-things, I love to create and cook.
     
    Living the low GI life is my life, everyday.
     
    Stop "shoulding" on yourself and say "I CAN"!
     
    YOU CAN do this!
     
                                             Low GI-ing, no "shoulding", no denying.
