Not for everyone,

This review is from: The Glucose Revolution Pocket Guide to Sugar and Energy (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is small and easy to read. However it is not for everyone. Personally I read books to gain as much knowledge about a subject as I possible can. There are some good points in here. However, I "personally" disagree with some of the advice given. On Pg 70 the author suggests "If ice cream is your weak spot choose low-fat,not low sugar versions. If you want to pig out now and again-it's much better to do it on jelly beans and hard candies rather than chocolate and potatoe chips." I understand that sugar gives energy but for low blood sugar folks and diabetics this isn't really good advice. I personally feel like I am going to pass out when I eat any of that stuff, but I a feel full and okay when I eat a piece of cheese, meat, some salad, or an egg. I have 2 other books in this series but I think I will be previewing any other books in this series in the library (it needs my support anyway) first before purchasing any more
