When it comes to losing weight, not all foods are created equal. The glycemic index—an easy-to-understand ranking of foods, most notably carbohydrates, based on the rate at which the body metabolizes them—can help people choose the right foods to eat in their quest to lose weight and keep it off. Written by the world's leading authorities on the glycemic index, The New Glucose Revolution Low GI Guide to Losing Weight answers the questions most frequently asked by dieters about low-GI foods, recounts success stories about people who have lost weight by making the switch to a low-GI diet, includes a week's worth of low-GI meal plans, and much more.

Confusing and Contradicting...,

This review is from: The New Glucose Revolution Low GI Guide to Losing Weight: The Only Authoritative Guide to Weight Loss Using the Glycemic Index (Paperback)
I puchased this book after my interest grew for Low GI diets as a result of reading SugarBusters, but I was greatly dissapointed after reading this small confusing book. First it takes you on a small trip back into the 90's with a slanted emphasis on low fat instead of low carb which makes no sense since most people picking up this book have issues with a high carb/sugar diet. Then it lists food on one page as a "Hi GI Food" and on another page as a "low/intermediate Gi Food".(cream of wheat for one) And really, snickers bar as a mid afternoon snack...really?)I read book and came out more confused and hopeless. I need help!(and my money back).

This review is from: The New Glucose Revolution Low GI Guide to Losing Weight: The Only Authoritative Guide to Weight Loss Using the Glycemic Index (Paperback)
I learned how to eat and got rid of the constant food cravings. The weight did not melt off as I have only lost 5 pounds in 3 months. This is more of a practical "how to eat" guide than a diet. I feel better, have more energy and I'm loosing weight slowly but surely. I do not feel deprived and can see myself eating like this indefinately.

A handy little book. I will probably give it away for a gift. If you have the book "The New Glucose Revolution you really don't need any of the other GI books. Lea
