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.

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.

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!

This book is right on the money. A well balanced diet that is SO EASY to follow. Not only are the meals great to eat, but your full all the time. (I actually started to think that I was overeating!) The meals are pretty easy to make, and the author encloses a weekly grocery list for your convience. The book outlines a complete diet for three weeks including recipes. This can't be made any easier. The G-Index book was recommended on a website for thyroid problems. Losing weight is near to impossible when you have a sluggish thyroid, however, while on this diet I have lost 5 poinds in two weeks! This is one to defintely recommend to all your friends!

Dr. Podell's book paved the way for me to lose pounds effortlessly that I have always carried. It is true that the G-Index of foods are what makes you fat. Thank you Dr. Podell for finally bringing hope to a person that did not lose weight on 900 calorie diet. Now on your 1200 cal diet I am losing weight and have the energy to even start to work out.

This is a good book on a healthy way of life that is pretty far from the average (North) American diet. It has lists of the common foods and their Glycemic Index, plus recipes. It isn't strict to the point of ridiculousness as some diet books are. The authors provide a good, sound philosophy on the advantages of the Low Glycemic Diet. My only complaint is that there was too much testimonial on the benefits of the diet and examples of people's weight loss stories and not enough solid information on the glycemic index of various foods. All in all, though, a good book.

The G-Index diet makes weight loss easy. The program is user friendly, simple and very easy to follow. I have been recommending this book to my weight loss clients for many years because of its effectiveness, simplicity and informative style.
The best part is that all of the foods include a wide variety in all food groups and are commonly available in the local grocery store. Most of my clients really like the fact that it also allows for some carbohydrates.

I've been on the diet for a week and I've lost 6.6 pounds. The recipes are great! Easy to make and taste great. I'm not hungry or craving anything I'm not suppose to eat! I highly recommend this.

As someone who has studied Nutrition and Physiology, it was really refreshing to read a "diet" book based on medical knowledge rather than dangerous food fads. It refined my knowledge of the glycemic indexes of various foods and has great ideas for snacking, cooking, and eating out. Try the apple-oat muffins, they're easy to bake and yummy to munch!

Very easy to follow and I love diet books that include good recipes!!! This is a complete book - it tells you about the diet, then has recipes, shopping lists, and all sorts of tables for reference. Everything you need is here!
