The article focuses on a study that followed folks managing type 2 diabetes with a vegan diet (vs. the conventional diabetic diet). The overall tone of the article is supportive and encouraging for a plant-based diet, which is refreshing to see in mainstream media. For those of you that are interested in reading more about diabetes and the vegan diet, also look into Dr. Neal Barnard's book here. Here's the bit in the article that I like:
"There were no restrictions on calories, carbohydrate intake or portion size. In
fact, the vegan diet followers consumed more of their daily calories - 75
per cent worth - from carbohydrate-rich foods than did folks on the diabetes
diet."... "The fact that people assigned to the vegan diet ate as much as
they wanted, increased their daily carbohydrate intake and still experienced
favourable blood-sugar and weight-loss results may seem surprising."
Yes!! A very good thing indeed! Not having to restrict calories means having a slice of this...
Lemony Luscious Almond Cake with Almond-Maple Sauce. Yep, another new recipe - though the ice cream on the side is from ed&bv... the scrump-dilly-licious Cashew Banana Ice-Cream!
Ok, you know I was kidding about the calorie-restriction bit... I'm certainly not advocating eating vegan desserts as a means to manage type 2 diabetes (before any accusatory comments ensue)! Just having some wee fun, and sharing what I love best about being a vegan cookbook author - creating new and exciting vegan desserts!And with that, just a reminder that I will be doing a baking demo at The Wellness Show on Sunday, Feb 8th at 2 pm. Hope to see some of you there! :)

It's nice to see a positive article on veganism for once!
that article is great! one of my good friends here in college was a vegetarian until recently when she confessed to me that she was adding chicken and turkey back into her diet because she wanted to LOSE weight. i was like, "WHAT?!" her reasoning was that she feels more full off of meat than she does on salad. the obvious response: don't just eat salad? i mean, shouldn't the natural response to a desire to lose weight be to go vegan? i mean, i don't restrict myself at allllll and i consume obscene amounts of peanut butter and i'm still pretty freaking skinny. i just don't get her reasoning.
also, that cake looks AMAZING, do you have a prospective date/time of year for the new book?!
Yay! Good things come from vegan diets! I watched your video for making the homestyle vegan chocolate chip cookies and made them. They were sooo easy and hands down the best cookies I have ever had. I am so happy you have a blog and I can thank you personally for such a wonderful recipe.
I LOVE those facts about the vegan diet... so true, atleast for youngsters! I need to tell my mom, but she might get defensive... I've been eating more healthfully lately on my vegan diet and she seems to be more motivated to reach a healthy wieght (she's at risk up wise) and that makes me so proud... it's also mice that she's been enjoying more vegan foods lately, and though she still orders chicken and buys cheese she'll try making meals for us entirely plant based... oh and great clake too! ;)
wow, that's really interesting! everyone loves cake, so it's good news for sure!
Hi there,
I have been vegan for 2 years and I know sometimes I would kill for a rich cramy cake :-) that is probably why my will broke along the way :-( now after two years of crap diet, I am re-living my vegan journey again with my 21-day vegan challenge, as from what I was told, it takes three weeks to change one´s habits....
I ll be back for more inspiration :-)
I need some of that cake! It looks melt in your mouth delicious. Mmmm....
It's refreshing to finally see a positive vegan story in the news. Yay!
Good luck at the Wellness Show!
As a Type 1 Diabetic since becoming a Vegan I have noticed enormous improvements in my Blood glucose levels and insulin requirements which I am totally delighted about. I've also lost weight, I'd highly recommend it to all diabetics!
Hooray! It's so nice to finally see something positive in the press.
Dreena,
Made the cocoa coconut chili today like in 25-30 minutes. It was yummy and I dislike coconut and the derivatives. I did not taste the coconut so much - not overwhelmingly. Thanks!!
OMG that looks sooooooooooooo good can't wait to try it!
