Customer Reviews

Very informative

I have used this book in conjuction with the SouthBeach Diet and have lost 40 pounds. I have found that when I eat foods with a lower gycemic index I feel better and I don't get the wild ups and downs in my blood sugar which were causing the tendency to binge eat. I no longer feel that I have to "diet" and white knuckle my way thin, but have truely made a lifestyle change that is changing my life. Nor do I have to be 100% perfect all the time to still see results. Also, no more measuring, or counting or obsessing about foods. It's very freeing.

Yes!

I was recently diagnosed as having hypoglycemia. My physician recommeded reading some books on this subject and scheduling an appointment with a nutritionist. She had recommeded this book along with hypoglycemia for dummies. These two books have given me options as far as what I should be eating to maintain my glucose levels during the course of my day as well as giving me options as no food is "off limits". If you're in a similar situation or even just want to lose weight, without starvation, this is the book!

This is a Pocket Guide!!

I had to write this review to counter the other review - this is a "pocket guide" - a small book packed with the information needed to understand glycemic index and what it means in your everyday diet. This book was never meant to be a complete guide but does offer an easy to understand review of glycemic index, a weekly meal plan, substitutes to normally consumed foods, snacks and snacking tips and a small table of GI values. I found it amazingly complete and very informative for the price - a good place to start!!
