GL, or Glycaemic Loading, is the dieting sensation taking the nation by storm.

It's packed with over 100 tasty recipes and full of handy tips to keep you on track. Love your food with the GL Diet Cookbook -- and watch the pounds melt away.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another brilliant book from the Diet Freedom team, July 3, 2006

This review is from: Gl Diet Cookbook (Paperback)

This is a GREAT cookbook. It is simple, easy and delicious and stands both alone and as a great companion to the previous books from the Diet Freedom (.co.uk) team. I found their first book about 18 months ago now, and have been hooked since. I have lost 76lbs (just over 5 stone, or about 35kgs - apologies for any bad math there!) and feel like a $million!! The cookbook gives cup sizes in the recipes so translates well to the US, and I have been asked by so many people to bring back copies of the books when in the UK (as I am a lot) that my baggage is HEAVY ... but I'm not!!

There is an online diet / healthy eating club that has been a great support to me as I have been finally shedding my unwanted weight, and I highly recommend this book, The 7-Day GL Diet and their first book The GL Diet (though you can do it with any one of them, but the cookbook has such GREAT recipes :o)!!) as well as the web club. Really supportive, no preaching or unrealistic goals. And how often can you actually access the authors of a book and have them answer your questions and chat to you online? I'm impressed! These guys clearly have been through the process themselves and really understand what it is like to have been constantly frustrated with dieting.

Also, it is easy to stick to, the food is great, and it's a really nice habit to get. You don't have to spend loads of money on fancy foods, you don't have to ask for weird things or go 'off menu' and noone need know you're dieting at all as there are hints and tips on how to be maintain as 'normal' a way of eating as possible. The only questions you'll get are 'you look INCREDIBLE, how did you do it' and then you may need an osteopath for your back as you lug copies of the books about!!!

As y'all can see I can't recommend it enough - I have tried every diet under the sun, and my health suffered hugely. Now I am lighter, with loads of energy, self esteem and a totally transformed life (and wardrobe, thank goodness!!)

Thanks Nigel, Tina, Deborah & Diet Freedom - A life changing series of books! x Claire
