Healthy Menu Makeover Program With Chef Lala
Hi, I’m Chef LaLa.
Welcome to the Healthy Menu Makeover site sponsored by JourneyForControl.com.
I’m thrilled to support the Journey for Control campaign and to show you how small changes to the food you eat can make a BIG difference in managing your diabetes. Having seen three of my grandparents and my father struggle with type 2 diabetes, encouraging healthy cooking has become my passion.
Food is an important part of the Latino culture, and there is a widely held misconception that if you try to make Latino food healthy, it lacks flavor… that’s not true. As a chef and a nutritionist, I have dedicated a big part of my life to showing people that it is possible to enjoy healthy Latino food without sacrificing traditional family “sabor.”
As part of the Journey for Control campaign, I will be sharing some of my favorite diabetes-friendly recipes on this Web site. In addition, I will visit selected people to help make over their favorite Latino recipes into delicious, diabetes-friendly dishes.
Also, be sure to visit other areas of JourneyForControl.com for inspirational stories, exercise tips and resources that will help to explain how small steps can add up to a big difference.
