ImTypeFree Diabetes Recipe Contest Winners Put The 'Yum' in 'Yummy'
.(Richmond, VA) - Sweets, cakes, fatty foods. You name it, most love to eat it…or avoid it, if they're watching their waistlines. But the winners of the 1st annual ImTypeFree Diabetes Recipe Contest (www.ImTypeFree.com) aren't just watching tummies and thighs, they're saving lives with recipes designed to delight the palate of diabetics and non-diabetics alike with delicious health conscious meals.
"Creating the ImTypeFree Diabetes Recipe Contest was a way to let people know that you can eat good and healthy too," said Ann-Marie Stephens, the co-founder of ImTypeFree. "When people are diagnosed with Diabetes they often mistakenly believe that the food they eat has to be bland to be healthy. But recipes submitted by the ImTypeFree Diabetes Recipe Contest winners disproves that idea."
