Product Description
A cardiologist's revolutionary weight-loss plan that allows dieters to enjoy good carbs while still losing weight The glycemic index has been the basis of many popular diets. But it doesn't take into account the serving sizes people actually eat and eliminates too many foods for dieters to stick with it. Now Dr. Robert Thompson's breakthrough program uses the glycemic load--the glycemic index adjusted for serving size--to take the GI a step forward. The glycemic load is a more accurate and effective tool in controlling weight and insulin resistance, allowing dieters to eat more foods while still burning fat, cutting cravings, and speeding up their metabolism. Safe, simple, and scientifically proven, it's the smartest weight-loss plan yet.

The book is very good, and has a lot of useful information. But, the condition of the book was not good. It came with a lot of pages falling out.

Most helpful book I've read about glycemic load by C. Pelliccia

This book provides simple but profound education on the difference between the glycemic indexand glycemic load. More importantly for me, it helped me understand what high glycemic load foods do to my blood sugar - I have reactive hypoglycemia and an adrenal imbalance. It helped me learn how to strategically eat in a way that helps balance my blood sugar and adrenal function. I can't believe I didn't have this information before! I can't recommend this book highly enough.

not a diet, but a new way to look at the food you eat by C. LaValey (Cleveland, OH)

Although Dr. Thompson created an easy read and stressed the same points over and over throughout the book, I found the information enlightening. The book explains a theory regarding the relationship between the evolution of insulin resistance and food technology, which was interesting. I reduced my BMI from 28 to 21.6 by following this way of eating. Although the near elimination of simple starches from my diet annoys some and bewilders others, it doesn't bother me, and have kept extra weight off for the past 16 months. For the most part,I follow one basic rule: don't eat anything that has no food value.

	The Easy GL Diet Handbook: Lose Weight with the Revolutionary Glycemic Load Program by Fedon Alexander Lindberg M.D. (Author) The Glycemic Index (GI) is a highly acclaimed route to weight loss, but it has one big drawback: GI values don't take portion sizes into account. Glycemic Load (GL) values ajust the GI score for real-world portions and thus give a more accurate measure of the way carbohydrates affect the body. For example, fresh fruit seems like a healthier dessert than a Snickers candy bar, but, in fact, the GI score for apricots is 57, while a Snickers is only 55. This happens because the GI score is...
	Glycemic Matrix Guide to Low GI and GL Eating by Richard A. Price (Author) The Glycemic Matrix combines the glycemic index with glycemic density (glycemic load in a gram of food).

Lower glycemic index foods satisfy hunger for a longer period of time. The glycemic density adds the weight volume of the food as a consideration. Decreasing the glycemic index and increasing the...
