 A useful reference book for maintaining a low GL food regime March 3, 2006
16 out of 16 found this review helpful
I agree with the previous review, this book doesn't allow you to calculate exact GL values, but what this book does point out is that foods very rarely have a precise GL value, but usually fall within a range.For those people who don't need to stringently keep their combined daily GL total below a certain level, I think this book is great. It helps you make informed choices between a host of alternatives. I even get to eat peanut M&Ms (in moderation of course)!! It's very small (about 4"x3") but has an extensive 56 page introduction explaining the whole GL thing, followed by 170 pages of food values grouped within sections. I think it's great (and I've lost 10lbs in 3 weeks) without going short of food. One last thing... Following a low GL food regime means I don't get ravenous, but my mouth does still get bored (I love eating). Chewing gum doesn't do it for me, but I've discovered that TicTacs are just the ticket. They scarcely impact on blood sugar levels and keep my mouth busy when I might otherwise be tempted to nibble on something just to alleviate the boredom. OK, so you don't want to eat them by the kilo, but they're worth trying in moderation. Certainly does it for me!! Buy them cheapest as multi-packs from your supermarket.
 Not the best guide for starting your GL Diet February 6, 2006
17 out of 18 found this review helpful
I bought this book to assist me when starting out with the GL diet. I had hoped that it would be a handy pocket guide that I could keep in my bag, check on foods and keep to my 40GLs a day.
The book does give 'GL ratings for hundreds of foods' but only in a traffic-light rating. So Low GL foods = Green, Medium = Yellow, High = Red. And you can't REALLY work out whether you're under/over your 40GL a day.I think if you're looking to maintain your weight wit GL then use this, but for new starters (like me) I'm looking for something else.
