Easy Diet To Follow

I am very satisfied with this book. I always have a hard time following a good diet and wondering whats going on with my body while on some diets. But with this diet it is so easy to follow and adjust to. I started reading this book just last month and I combined exercise with it and I have lost 10 pounds. I really recomend this book. Simple easy to understand method for better health

Worth the time to read.

Fact based book that has helped me understand the Glycemic Index and how to eat so that I am not hungry within 15 minutes after eating.

Very informative book on controlling glycemia

What recommended this book to me was that the authors were pioneers in the concept of the glycemic index. I knew intuitively that this concept mattered, but till recently all I knew was too many carbs were bad. But this is one of the books that corrects that notion to say that what matters is how directly a carbohydrate enters the bloodstream. Too directly means a load on the pancreas, perhaps an overreaction, perhaps hypoglycemia, and over time insulin resistance. The book not only explains that lucidly but then it moves on to explain how a person can revise his diet so that there is a healthy percentage of carbs without these adverse results. I can't say if the book is superior to others, but I can say that it contains useful information expressed in understandable terms.

The Low GI Diet Revolution-The Definitive Science-Based Plan

In my opinion, the low GI diet is a healthy diet not only for weight loss but for people who want to delay the onset of diseases such as Type 2 diabetes. The statistics concerning GI values of common food serves as an excellent resource and the suggested menus are easy to follow.
