De-mystify GI -- get this book!--Pat TaylorWest Babylon, NY The New Glucose Revolution: Low GI Eating Made Easy

This book is an all-in-one resource that covers the basics of Low GI eating and switching from a typical diet to a low GI one. The authors give suggestions for meals and snacks, and list 100 low GI foods along with ideas for preparing and serving them. It's true you could probably find all this information online, but having everything in one handy book saves time and energy. Note: I bought this because I have reactive hypoglycemia, and it's not quite as helpful for this condition since diabetics (the target audience for the book) have different carb needs and restrictions than hypoglycemics. I would've liked seeing more complete recipes for cooking meals with low GI value, but overall this is a handy book for those with diabetes who are trying to figure out what they can and can't eat.

This book was informative, an easy read. It highlighted all the areas in grocery shopping and preparing low GI foods to help curb those cravings. I did find it interesting that this is geared towards pre-diabetics. I think everyone should take a look at this book and attempt to apply it. Working with lower GI foods does help to control cravings, portion size, and how often you eat. Not to mention, it helps take off weight. Only problem, not all of the foods are in the United States.But learning how to read labels helps make the transition easy.

Dr. Miller explains very difficult concepts in a very simplistic way. Her research is far ahead of the people I have talked to including my PAC.Her books are a great insight for anyone who is looking to just be healthy. A wise man once told me that if I would eat like a diabetic I would never become one. Too bad I didn't take his advice. Thank goodness Dr. Miller is helping me piece my life back together one food at a time.

My Diabetics type 1 husband and myself ( none diabetic) got this book and have been on a low GI diet for 3 months and are losing a good deal of weight!! Total loss so far of 25lbs for my husband and 10 lbs for myself.

good reading

Did not find that this book was as easily understood and helpful to me. This is as much description as I can give.

Got the book, read it right away and made a few changes in my eating habits. What a difference in how I feel! No more spikes and lows and I have lost some weight without even trying.

Having read several books on this very subject, I was amazed to read that Dr. Brand-Miller is endorsing potatos, parsnips and rice etc with meals and even says dates (a huge no no) are ok to eat too. Infact, the book suggests 50 percent vegetables, 25 percent carbs (ie the things we are not supposed to eat when we are diabetic), and 25 percent protein. This is more similar to a weight loss plan by Slimming World than a low glycemic index diet. The other thing which I found surprising was the disregard to the glycemic load. All the advice refers to the glycemic index which is now proven not to be the best form of measurement for a diet suitable for diabetics. Most experts agree that the glycemic load count is more important than glycemic index. eg The Glycemic Load Diet by Rob Thompson. I must say I am very surprised that this book gives so much information which contradicts the findings of other books even by the same author. I am totally bemused. I could not recommend this book to anyone wanting to lower blood sugar levels.

This is an American book, so some of the measurements, etc. are not what the British are generally used to. A good first step into the glycemic index and blood sugar problems.

The book was very easy to follow. Clear to understand nice recepies I will try . I Would recommend book to others people.

Very good, recommend it.
