Product Description

The glycemic index has proven itself to be a powerful tool for people trying to lose weight, control their diabetes, or simply follow a day-to-day diet that is both healthy and easy to maintain long-term. Designed especially for people following a low glycemic diet, this book provides all the vital numbers in a convenient, quick-reference format. It is also the only counter guide to focus on GL values, which are the most useful numbers for real-world dieting since they are based on actual portion size.

Leaves much to be desired, 2008-08-27
I recently received this book. I am NOT impressed. It is small enough to carry along with you everywhere. However, even though the back says it "no more math - each food's serving size is already computed into the GL score" it offers no serving sizes at all. For example, it lists "stuffing" at GL-14, GI-76 but offers no further info. How much? What kind of stuffing? Or, meat-filled ravioli GL-3, GI-39. How much? Homemade or store-bought? It goes on like that. There are also not enough listings. This handbook leaves much to be desired.

I also received "The New Glucose Revolution Shopper's Guide to GI Values 2008" (by Dr. Jennie Brand-Miller and Kaye Foster-Powell) at the same time. This book is WELL worth the investment. There are over 1,000 foods listed, including name brand products. If you are looking for a handy guide to take along with you... definitely toss this one and buy the 2008 Shopper's Guide. You will get a much bigger bang for the buck with that book.

That book is MUCH better!

Good luck with the diet. So far, I am excited about it.
