With over 16 million Americans now diabetic America is experiencing a diabetes explosion. Diabetes has become a public-health crisis, afflicting one in 18 Americans. Once a disease of the elderly, it now afflicts an alarming number of people in their 30s โ€" and a growing number of children.
We keep getting fatter and fatter and need answers that work in daily life. Many simply don't have the time or inclination to cook healthy at home, and eating out carries a heavy penalty in the form of excessive fats, sugars, salt and chemicals.
According to a recent report published in the journal Diabetes Care, as a fat and happy U.S. gets fatter still, the incidence of diabetes is rising too, striking more and more people in younger and younger age groupsโ€"and threatening them with everything from blindness to amputations to heart attacks.
The study involved a survey of 150,000 U.S. households, and the figures it produced were staggering. In the past eight years, from 1990 to 1998, the number of Americans found to have Type 2 (adult-onset) diabetes, has jumped a whopping 33%, from 4.9% of the population to 6.5%.
Although the disease has traditionally been seen in grayer age groups, the greatest increase appears to be occurring among 30-39-year-olds, who have seen a stunning 70% jump.
It is because of this that VIPmeals.com is now offering custom cooked low-sugar meals specifically for diabetics. โ€It's one thing to offer low sugar meals, and it's another to make them taste good,โ€ said Brian Des Lauriers, managing member for VIP Meals Company. Diabetics work hard keeping their blood sugar in check and this can run opposite to what usually tastes good. โ€œBecause we focus on Asian and Thai foods, we can offer great tasting meals that are naturally healthy,โ€ claimed Des Lauriers. โ€œDon't take our word for the taste, just check out what many of our customers have to say online at www.VIPmeals.com/0_customer_comments.htm,โ€ said Des Lauriers.
VIPmeals.com introduces the Greaseless Cooking System for those who have special dietary needs or simply want a great tasting healthy meal direct from their freezer. VIP meals are available as regular, low fat, low sodium, low sugar and low carbohydrate meals. They can be ordered online at http://www.vipmeals.com" according to taste or special dietary needs. โ€œWe custom cook, pack, freeze and ship meals that taste wonderful while being naturally healthy -- the way they should be,โ€ said Des Lauriers.
โ€œWe have been testing our Greaseless Cooking System at World Cafรฉ in Bellevue, Washington since May of this year,โ€ said Des Lauriers. โ€œThis is a process my wife, Lake developed when she was hired to assist Mrs. Lind, an 81 year old lady, who has congestive heart failure, diabetes, high blood pressure and other health complications.โ€ Lake custom cooked meals with reduced fats, sugar, sodium and cholesterol to meet her specific dietary needs. Meals were packed and placed in Mrs. Lind's freezer so she could choose from various meals to her taste and be assured they met her special dietary needs.
These custom cooked meals made it possible for Mrs. Lind to remain living in her home with extended care from visiting nurses. Lowering the sodium helped reduce her ankle swelling. Reduced sugar meals kept her type 2 diabetes in check and the greaseless cooking method allowed her cholesterol levels to stabilize naturally.
Special dietary needs also includes families who just want to eat better quality meals. "The body really starts to appreciating this type of healthy cooking and reacts with a difference when you go back to McDonalds or Pizza Hut." said Des Lauriers. โ€œOffice workers who frequent World Cafรฉ enjoy the fresh taste of greaseless cooking claiming they can work all afternoon without becoming tired or dragged down.โ€
According to a May 31st article in USA Today titled โ€˜Feds Chew on Poor Nutrition Choices.' โ€œOnly 12% of the American people have a good diet. Our environment promotes a bad diet and inactivity.โ€ The article goes on to say, โ€œIt's very difficult to eat a healthy diet because there is so much encouragement and opportunity to eat a diet that's loaded with calories, fat and sugar. And the problem is getting worse. We have a whole generation of kids who are going to be obese adults.โ€
The quest to find good tasting meals that are healthy is like the oil and water in today's fast paced world. Fast food and healthy food just don't mix. Most frozen and fast foods contain far too much fats, sugars, sodium and/or chemicals to be healthy. Many health challenges come from the foods we eat. Full of empty calories, chemicals, fats, sugars and sodium, we invariably suffer from health problems as we age. As the saying goes โ€˜you are what you eat.'

โ€œWe have been testing our Greaseless Cooking System at World Cafรฉ in downtown Bellevue, Washington since May of this year,โ€ said Mr. Des Lauriers. โ€œThis is a process my wife, Lake developed in 1997 when she was hired to assist Mrs. Lind, an 81 year old lady, who has congestive heart failure, diabetes, high blood pressure and other health complications.โ€ Said Mr. Des Lauriers. Mrs. Lind's doctor suggested she find an adult care facility. Being very independent she turned to her son Rob, who then hired Lake to provide meals that would help his mother remain at home. Lake developed the Greaseless Cooking System to reduce the fats, sugar, sodium and cholesterol content of her meals. Meals were cooked, packed and frozen then placed in Mrs. Lind's freezer for her to access whenever she needed a good nutritious meal.

Why do we eat what we do when we know better?

American Heart Association dietary recommendations dish out a more individualized approach
The new American Heart Association Dietary Guidelines 2000 have been expanded to include specific recommendations tailored to an individual's risk of heart disease and stroke. For the first time, the guidelines stress the importance of preventing obesity and are easier to use because they stress overall eating patterns, rather than a percentage of dietary fat or other nutrients. The report just released on October 31st, claims that American's need to focus on getting their daily intake of nutriments, vitamins and minerals from the main food groups and not from supplements and junk food that is labeled โ€˜low fat' as so many are doing.
In today's fast paced world trying to find good tasting meals that are healthy is like the oil and water theory. Fast food and healthy food just don't mix. VIP Meals has made it work by cooking with water, steam and dry heat instead of oils, fats, lards or grease. We call it our โ€˜Greaseless Cooking System' and the food taste wonderful and fresh according to our customers
Most frozen and fast foods contain far too much fats, sugar, sodium and/or chemicals to be healthy. One of the main reasons for so many health challenges as we age comes from the foods we eat. If they are full of empty calories, chemicals, fats, sugars and sodium, we invariably will suffer from health problems.
VIP Meals focus mainly on Thai and Asian foods. They offer a wide variety of herbs and spices that have such great taste possibilities. โ€œOur most important product is taste,โ€ says Mr. Des Lauriers. โ€œIt is taste that will keep people coming back for more. If you are diabetic and have a choice of eating a meal that has limited taste, but low in sugar, or a great tasting meal that makes you feel full, yet allows you to work the rest of the day without hunger pangs or that blotted feeling, is also low in sugar, plus low in fat, which one will you choose?โ€ asks Des Lauriers.
