Helpful in understanding the concept of diminished hunger using Glycemic Index as a dietary guide.
Rating: 4 / 5
This book is very helpful and is a straight forward approach to better understanding the GI and how it affects your body. I previoulsly read the Glycemic Revolution and was deeply disappointed by the info, and the lack of everyday application.
I do like that there is a glossary of the questions in the front so you immediately know where to skip.
From questions about prickly pear cactus and more, this book covers a lot of corners, and it explains things very well- breaking down the GI book stigma.

This was a great book for my mom who thumbs through the book and finds excellent information about her diabetes. If you have to take your blood readings on a daily basis, this book is a must have.

I’m diabetic and struggling to get my blood sugar under control so I was thrilled to see this book with its handy list of 750 foods. The list shows the GI and GL [Glucose Level] counts plus the carb count for a given quantity of each food. In trade paperback, it is light and easy to carry around. My only complaint is that the explanations can be a little hard to understand [okay, I don't understand some of them at all]. I like the idea of moderate levels of carbohydrate in my diet and that’s what this book recommends. I’ve done the low carb route and lost weight but can’t stick to it forever. For one thing, it just doesn’t feel healthy to me.
