Customer Reviews

Great Book!!

This is a wonderfully concise book with a lot of helpful information. It is also very humorous and down to earth. It does a great job at explaining what glycemic load is and how to apply eating this way to our everyday lives. I recommend this book to everyone, whether or not weight loss is the goal, especially with the way we eat in the US.

More than just another fad diet

An English friend came to visit and bought the GL Diet book with her. After years of trying one diet after another it's made a real difference to me, I lost 26lbs and have more energy than ever and best of all I've been able to keep it going- I don't even feel like I'm on a diet- it just become a way of life. The Diet Freedom website is full of good tips and ideas and the authors always respond to your questions. It's like having your own personal support network on line! Jeff (Panaorama City CA)

Forget Atkins and Southbeach, this is better

As a man I normally find diet books boring and preachy but this is a refreshing change... And the authors have a sense of humour! 30 pounds down and 7 to go I can highly recommend it after yo-yoing up and down on the Atkins diet and feeling deprived and tired most of the time I can now eat plenty of fruit and even bread and still lose weight. My wife says I am a new man! It is the best diet book I have found in my long history of being overweight.

Throw away all your other diet books!

I first saw this book in the UK featured in The Times newspaper, it seems to be taking over from the Gi diet books. It is much simpler than South Beach and other Gi diets and using the GL (glycemic load)is more accurate and means more food choices. I didn't lose any weight on South Beach but have lost 5 pounds in two weeks already and haven't felt hungry at all. Vert straightforward, no nonsense, non-techy easy read. Brilliant!

the PERFECT diet for this hectic age!

Nigel Denby's GL Diet is brilliant. It's simple, easy to understand, warm and inclusive in tone, informative, easy to follow, and the perfect antidote to all the fads, crazy complicated counting, silly restrictive and just awful diets we've been fed for the last few years! I travel a lot, entertain a lot and generally have a very busy life that does not leave room for a time consuming labour intensive eating regime. This is the one for me. It works, it's easy, and I spend less time thinking and worrying about food that I ever did before. And that's got to be a GOOD THING! My energy levels are up, I'm back in the gym (there seems to be more time in my life now!)and loving it, and my life is simply simpler. If you've been caught in a 'diet trap' (as the author calls it) then this is the diet for you. Best thing - noone's noticed anything other than delicious food on the table when I cook (simple, fast recipes included), and noone notices when I'm eating out that I'm 'dieting' and everyone notices how good I look and my energy levels. Thanks Nigel & Diet Freedom (really good website, answer all your questions fast - www.dietfreedom.co.uk), you've made a ex-frenzied fatty very happy, calm and lighter!
