Summary
Franziska Spritzler, RD, CDE, is a Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Educator who favours a low-carbohydrate approach for diabetes and weight management. For several years she consumed the same low-fat, high-carbohydrate eating plan she recommended for the patients she counselled as an outpatient dietitian in a large teaching hospital.Once she discovered in early 2011 that her own blood sugar levels were increasing to unhealthy levels after eating, Franziska began researching the beneficial effects of carbohydrate restriction and adopted it as her way of eating. She now recommends low-carbohydrate diets for people with all types of diabetes, as well as for individuals insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and those who have difficulty losing weight with low-fat diets. She is the author of "A Low-Carbohydrate, Whole-Foods Approach to Managing Diabetes and Prediabetes," featured in the Winter 2013 edition of the American Diabetes Association's Diabetes Spectrum journal.
