5.0 out of 5 stars Best of the GI Books, March 9, 2000

I have been researching the Glycemic Index concept for several months. The data is fascinating, but often conflicting. This small resource provides powerful guidelines for adhering to a low GI diet. Unlike other resources, this book addresses portion size and eating low and high GI foods to produce a moderate GI meal. This book is a must for anyone interested in low GI eating.

I have bought books on the glycemic index. This book is a handy, quick guide to make it simple. Eating a diet geared toward low glycemic foods is easy to do. It's just changing a few choices. I got interested in the low glycemic index to help my husband with diabetes, and I lost 5 pounds. It's a healthier way of eating. Very refined foods have a high glycemic index. It also isn't generally good for you. Try that stoneground whole wheat bread. I'd also recommend "The Glucose Revolution: The Authoritative Guide to The Glycemic Index."

2.0 out of 5 stars The Glucose Revolution, pocket guide, December 5, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Glucose Revolution Pocket Guide to the Top 100 Low Glycemic Foods (Mass Market Paperback)

My husband has hypoglycemia. He has to be on a low blood sugar diet. I was happy to see this book, but was soon disappointed. The book tells you to eat foods like rice, potatoes, breads, pastas, raisins, corn and many more items that raises your blood sugar level. Although it does have some good points, this pocket food guide is not for a hypoglycemic. A good book that is worth looking into is Sugar Busters.
