i never realized how important it is for people of all dietary needs to maintain control over their sugar levels. i am not diabetic but my wife is, and as soon as she finished the book she insisted that i read it! i'm glad she did, because i've learned plenty about easy corners to cut in making my diet painlessly more healthy (and i am not the type to willingly cut out my favorite foods). this book is a solution for a diverse range of diet-related problems....

The basic information here is very helpful and could change your life for the better. That said, I was still disappointed with this book. It suffers from the same problem that so many nonfiction books seem to. It's got enough interesting and important information to fill a really good article, but that's about all. There's a lot of padding. The book also tells you a lot of stuff you've probably already heard, if you're at all interested in diet and health or if you have had blood sugar or candidiasis problems. I, personally, didn't find the cooking and eating suggestions all that revolutionary.

The light of understanding has finally begun to shine. I have found it to be a valuable tool in helping me to manage my weight and keep my glucose levels consistantly normal.

In The Glucose Revolution Life Plan, Jennie Brand-Miller, Johanna Burni, and Kaye Foster-Powell effectively collaborate to show the reader how to make a glycemic index -- one of the truly landmark advances for healthy eating. Included are fifty delicious, easy-to-prepare recipes with complete nutritional information (enhanced with beautiful color photos of a dozen of these dishes). Also presented are the benefits of Mediterranean and Asian style cuisines and cooking methods, including omega-3 fatty acids; key facts and myths about fats; the pros and cons of high-protein diets and how they compare to a low-G.I. carbohydrate approach; as well as the most up-to-date and comprehensive table of glycemic index values available to the general reading public. The Glucose Revolution Life Plan is enthusiastically recommended for anyone seeking to create a practical and successful lifetime approach to healthy eating.

to see whether it would be helpful. I determined very quickly that this was an excellent source for helping me control my hypoglycemia. It has a very good variety of foods listed for quick search and it goes into very specific detail of how the body uses things like omega 3 and 6 and refined carbohydrates and many other things. It is an excellent diet that has really helped me to feel better.

I knew there was a way to control my appetite without cutting back my meals to the point of absurdity. Brand-Miller and Burani have put together a blueprint for a seemingly impossible combination: eating healthy and enjoying it! And what a collection of recipes! Who knew healthy eating could be so cosmopolitan?
