Book Description

March 1, 1994
The reason most diets fail is that many "diet foods" stimulate the appetite and trigger out-of-control eating. This startling, proven guide to eating indicates which foods turn the metabolism on to start burning fat. Includes a balanced weight-loss regimen and a satisfying maintenance plan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Godsend for those who are hypothyroid!, April 29, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The G-Index Diet: Control Your Glucose Level and Lose Weight Now (Mass Market Paperback)
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis (hypothyroidism) two years ago. I have tried all of the low-fat high carb diets and just gained weight. Because of how my body now handles insulin and the glycemic values of foods, I have to follow a diet such as this. The results: I have been on the diet for 6 weeks and have lost 10 lbs. On previous diets there was no weight loss. To all of those who are hypothyroid it's not us, it's how we eat! This is a lifestyle change. It has not been hard either.

4.0 out of 5 stars Finally something that is simple and makes sense!, October 28, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The G-Index Diet: Control Your Glucose Level and Lose Weight Now (Mass Market Paperback)
I really enjoy reading books on healthy eating and The G-Index Diet is a very good book. If your tired of all the fad diets of no carbs and all protein or all of the others this will help you tremendously. It is the healthiest and most sound diet book I have read to date and I read quite a few just to keep up on the latest find for keeping wieght off. After I finish reading a book about eating recommendations I try to find one similar to it so that I can figure out which points I agree with and which ones I can live with. The Good Calorie Diet is a very good choice to read along with The G-Index Diet but I feel that the G-Index Diet is a better book and much easier to adapt to everyday living and eating.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best diet I have ever tried, January 4, 1999
This review is from: The G-Index Diet: Control Your Glucose Level and Lose Weight Now (Mass Market Paperback)
I think this diet is easy to follow, and it works. My husband lost 17 pounds in one month when we first tried it, I lost seven pounds. The food is great, and everything is spelled out for you, right down to your grocery list. A lot of my friends are trying it now too!
