Brownies for Breakfast: A Cookbook for Diabetics

Brownies for Breakfast: A Cookbook for Diabetics

This Living to 100 Club Podcast invites as its guest Lynne Bowman. Lynne has written a cookbook “for diabetics and the people who love them.” In this program, we discuss how Type 2 diabetes colors the attitudes and behaviors of those with this condition. We discuss the research she did and what she learned about traditional approaches to dietary guidelines. Importantly, we explore the broad subject of healthy eating.

What eating habits offer more energy and beauty? What are the real costs of fast food? Her book, Brownies for Breakfast, is a best seller on Amazon. Above all, this colorful publication is complete with nutrition facts and personal experiences on being a diabetic. Lynne shares recipes for re-imagining our favorite sweets and comfort foods. Whether you or someone you know is diabetic or pre-diabetic, or are interested yourself in living long and prospering, do not miss this conversation.

As Lynne says, “This is the book I wish someone had given me when I was first diagnosed with diabetes.”
