Gabi Steenkamp has been working as a registered dietician in South Africa for the past 28 years specializing in the treatment of diabetes and colon dysfunction (Irritable Bowel Syndrome – IBS - or spastic colon). She is one of the experts on the topic of the Glycemic Index, Glycemic Load and carbohydrate contents of foods, and is at present the voluntary consulting dietician for the Diabetes Association of South Africa, Diabetes SA .

She has written 8 books together with colleagues, and is at present busy with two more books incorporating the glycemic index into daily living nutrition skills.

Gabi is a dynamic and passionate advocate of good nutrition, and attendance at one of her talks or workshops will inspire you to easily put into practise good taste with good nutrition. “Nutritious and delicious” takes on a new meaning, when Gabi teaches you how.

The Glycemic Index concept together with good nutrition principles can be used
in the treatment of many of our modern day diseases:

	diabetes
	insulin resistance
	hyperinsulinaemia
	polycystic ovarian syndrome
	weight management
	heart disease

And with the books as a very practical guide, creative and delicious nutrition management becomes easy. Add to this smart food choices that fill your trolley in the supermarket, and you should be well equipped to manage your nutrition with ease.

Because of her passion for good nutritious food, Gabi has had a lot of contact with the food industry. Besides consulting to the food industry on a nutrition level, she also acts as a food labelling consultant. Food labelling in South Africa has come a long way and with the new, soon to be published food labelling and advertising laws, South African food labeling will be informative, accurate, and misleading advertising will become a thing of the past. Attending a food labeling seminar as a consumer is a liberating experience – you have no idea just how much practical information you can get off a label!
