What is Metabolic Syndrome?

Metabolic Syndrome is a combination of several medical issues. Together they increase your chance of developing heart disease, stroke and diabetes. The condition is also known as insulin resistance syndrome. According to a national health survey, more than 1 in 5 Americans has metabolic syndrome

New Product: Low Carb Green Giant® French Onion Veggie Rings®

Green Giant has turned cauliflower into a low carb version of onion rings!

Their “onion rings,” are made with real cauliflower and come in two flavors: the Cauliflower Three Cheese with Bacon and Cauliflower French Onion

I tried a package of Green Giant® French Onion flavored Veggie Rings® and really enjoyed them! The texture was smilar to a real onion ring and the flavor was enjoyable.

Cauliflower is one of the most versatile and popular low-carb vegetables.  One cup (100 grams) of raw cauliflower contains 5 grams of carbs, 3 of which are fiber.

Some low-carb diets may have health benefits beyond weight loss, such as reducing your risk of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome.  A low-carb diet generally limits grains, legumes, fruits, breads, sweets, pastas and starchy vegetables, and sometimes nuts and seeds.


Ingredients

Filling (cauliflower, Onion, Water, Dried Potatoes, Parmesan Cheese (part-skim Milk Cheese Cultures, Salt, Enzymes), Corn Starch, Enriched Flour (wheat Flour, Niacin, Reduced Iron, Thiamin Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Methylcellulose, Salt, Dried Onion, Sodium Alginate, Guar Gum, Brown Sugar, Dried Green Onion, Butter, Spices, Powdered Molasses, Yeast Extract, Whey, Caramelized Sugar, Dried Vegetable Stock Carrot, Onion, Celery) Natural Flavors, Dried Garlic), Coating (enriched Flour (wheat Flour, Niacin, Reduced Iron, Thiamin Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Whole Wheat Flour, Soybean Oil, Water, Corn Flour, Modified Corn Starch, Whey, Dextrose, Salt, Yeast, Sugar, Sodium Alginate, Soy Flour, Nonfat Milk, Paprika Extract (color), Natural Flavors, Eggs, Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate, Baking Soda.)

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends that carbohydrates make up 45% to 65% of your total daily calorie intake. So if you consume 2,000 calories a day, carbs would account for between 900 and 1,300 calories a day.

 

We’re talking about ’Eating Right, Being Bright’ during the holiday season with musical inspiration from Harry Connick, Jr. and his 16 piece big band.  Podcast guests include Patricia Addie-Gentle RN, CDE, Dan Houdeshell, Pendulum Glucose Control‘s Chief Medical Officer Dr. Orville Kolterman and Diabetes Meal Planning Made Easy, Author Hope Warshaw, MMSc, RD, CDE, and Mama Rose Marie.

Throughout the podcast we will be featuring music from Harry For The Holidays album courtesy of SONY Music. Harry Connick, Jr.’s second Christmas album, Harry for The Holidays is as much a salute to his New Orleans musical roots as it is to the season.

Insulin Resistance Quiz

According to the Centers for Disease Control, more than 86 million Americans suffer pre-diabetes also known as metabolic syndrome.

Pre-diabetes is characterized by insulin resistance that develops when the body has trouble using the insulin that it produces. The more severe your insulin resistance, the greater your chance of developing diabetes and heart disease.

Dr. Sears Zone‘s Insulin Resistance Calculator helps determine your extent of insulin resistance, and also provides clinically-based dietary recommendations that may help reduce your levels of insulin resistance.
