1.0 out of 5 stars Glycemic Load Cookbook
I was extremely disappointed in this book. It does NOT come close to the real Low Glycemic diet. This is more of the original ATKINS diet, NOT Low Glycemic. In my opinion, a total waste.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another winner from Dana Carpender, December 18, 2008
By Sally (Wisconsin) - See all my reviews
A straight forward and immensely useful review of the Glycemic Load Diet plus lots of really delicious recipes. Dana's work is in my experience always well researched, entertaining, educational and makes for fabulous food that contributes to your health. If you're thinking of returning to health this New Year this should be your first buy and if you have Dana's other cookbooks you won't find this redundant, but fresh and inspiring.

4.0 out of 5 stars Forget The Glycemic Index, Get Delicious Low-Carb, Low-Glycemic Load Recipes From Dana Carpender, March 23, 2009
We've heard a lot about the glycemic index in recent years, but not many people know exactly what that means and why they should care. The problem with GI is it is an incomplete equation when it comes to figuring out what impact a particular food will have on the body. A better tool is to determine the glycemic load of what you eat and that's something Dr. Rob Thompson has devoted himself to with his diet plan. In this book of recipes that serves as a companion to The Glycemic-Load Diet, Dr. Thompson teams up with world-famous low-carb cookbook author Dana Carpender to whip up some yummy recipes that are designed to control insulin spikes which lead to weight gain, hunger, and disease. One thing you can always count on when Dana Carpender contributes recipes to a cookbook is variety, mouthwatering dishes, and a commitment to keeping them low-carb. You get 150 outstanding recipes to enjoy for breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, and everything in between with this book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Companion Book to The Glycemic Load Diet, February 10, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Having read The Glycemic Load Diet, I was interested to get this book and try some new recipes. Every dish I have tried so far has been easy to prepare and quite tasty. Also, this book includes an overview of information from The Glycemic Load Diet, which may be helpful for those who do not own that book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another winner!, December 24, 2008
Dana Carpender has another winner with this book! What I like about her books is that they are what you really want to eat! I love the bran muffins, the curried cashews, and the rice-a-phoney! I'm sure I will enjoy other recipes as I continue to explore the book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Clear and concise, February 24, 2009
This is not a diet book. This book explains just exactly which types of foods help you to gain weight and which types help you to lose weight in plain English. A refreshing change from all of the "diet" books out there.

I'm happy that I did research taking the glycemic index a step further and found the info on glycemic load. Definitely better for diabetes type 2 that I have.
