Book Description

September 1, 2006
Americans are gluttons for diet fads. The trouble is, trendy diets—no matter how effective in helping you lose weight—usually fail when it comes to keeping the weight off. And most impose so many restrictions that they make eating a grim duty.

The G.I. Diet Cookbook pursues a much more enjoyable strategy. Its 100-plus recipes, created by British food celebrity Antony Worrall Thompson, emphasize satisfaction, not deprivation. The glycemic index focuses on the benefits of low-G.I. foods from every category, including carbohydrates. Because they’re slow to digest, low-G.I. foods make you feel less hungry, allowing you to shed pounds effortlessly. And because the book’s dishes are so varied and delicious, maintaining weight loss is easier than ever before.

The G.I. diet is rooted in sound nutritional principles that have long been used by diabetics to control their weight and blood sugar. But Thompson’s culinary ingenuity—and his devotion to preparing food that’s as tasty as it is healthy—has transformed this formerly “medical” diet into one that everyone will find irresistible.

I must completely disagree with the other reviewers on this one. I bought this book because I borrowed it from the library and loved it so much, I had to have a copy.
Why do I love it?
It has simple, quick and foolproof recipes for dishes that are light, low calorie and fat and use low GI ingredients like Lentils, Beans, Barley, fish, tofu, lean meats, (even liver), quick and foolproof bread and muffin mixes. Admittedly, this United Kingdom cookbook is not for every american kitchen. There is no instant anything, reduced fat mac 'n cheese, or healthy fried chicken. There are chunky soups filled with beans and vegetables, kebabs, new ways to eat tofu, baked rice pudding, a lot of fresh fruit variations, mediterranean platters and snacks. Want to eat eggplant -- not breaded and fried with parmesan cheese -- but in chunky spicy salsas, a filling asian inspired stir-fry and creamy, low fat pasta sauce?

Love it and highly recommend it if you like global cuisines.
The South African seed bread is an absolute winner. Easy, high in protein and very low in fat and sugar. My family can't get enough of it and it takes under 10 minutes to prepare.

This review is from: The G.I. Diet Cookbook: More Than 100 Low Glycemic-Index Recipes for Healthy Weight Loss (Paperback)

Very good description of diet,but it goes on a bit and can get a bit confusing. I also wasnt overly blown away by the recipes, some of the ingredients a little hard to come back and when I see that I dont bother.

This review is from: The G.I. Diet Cookbook: More Than 100 Low Glycemic-Index Recipes for Healthy Weight Loss (Paperback)
Many of the recipes require ingredients/spices that are not something a typical family would use.
