DietGenic Gonda and Ruan Burger founders turned an old time South African favourite into a snack for the health conscious, by adding a healthy twist.

The new DietGenic Rusks range was developed by co-founder and registered Dietician Gonda Burger, specifically formulated to provide the perfect meal on the go. These rusks are one of a kind, with no similar product available in the South African market.

The Rusks are LOW GI and LOW FAT, but they also provide the following additional health benefits:

•DIABETIC FRIENDLY– A food’s GI content is the rate at which the food is broken down into glucose and absorbed into the bloodstream. According to the American diabetes association, consumption of low GI foods helps in managing diabetes.

•HIGH FIBER CONTENT – Fiber assists and improves insulin sensitivity. The amount of soluble fiber in the DietGenic rusks may assist in relieving constipation and spastic colon symptoms.

•SUGAR LEVEL STABILISATION – The rusks were specifically formulated to stabilise sugar levels to avoid the energy slumps often experienced in-between meals.

•WEIGHT LOSS – The recipe and rusk size were calculated to ensure that each rusk contains the exact amount of nutrients and fiber required to form part of a balanced daily intake.

•CHOLESTEROL MANAGEMENT – Studies show that low GI meals could reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol by up to 8.6%, while reducing overall cholesterol by up to 9.6%.
The Rusks are packaged in a recyclable Kraft box, each box containing 400g of Low GI
Rusks.
