Product Description
This is the perfect companion to Patrick Holford's bestselling LOW-GL DIET BIBLE. In THE LOW-GL DIET BIBLE, Patrick Holford revealed his brilliant weightloss diet. He explained how the simple principle of eating no more than 40 GLs a day can help you to lose weight, control your blood sugar and stop cravings. To maintain your weight, he recommends a total daily intake of no more than 60 GLs per day. The LOW-GL DIET COUNTER is the perfect tool to help you achieve whichever of these goals is appropriate to you. It contains a comprehensive list of foods, complete with recommended serving sizes and GL count, protein and fat content. Its easy-to-follow format provides an instant guide to which foods are good, OK and bad according to medically approved low-GL principles. Foods are divided into sections covering breakfast, snacks, main meals and restaurant meals, and each section specifies your daily GL goal - e.g. a maximum daily intake of 5 GLs for snacks and 10 GL for main meals, as well as an extra 5 GLs for drinks and puddings.

This review is from: The Low-GL Diet Counter: Discover the GL Count of Hundreds of Foods (Paperback)
This book is very disappointing, I bought it thinking it would tell me the GL scores for more foods than the ones listed in the Holford diet, therefore making life easier when buying/eating food. However the lists are no more detailed they are the same as in the other books instead they are listed in categories of which meal they are suitable for. The only real use I can see of this book is that it’s small and light to carry around ie. to the supermarket

Holford GL Counter Review,

This review is from: The Low-GL Diet Counter: Discover the GL Count of Hundreds of Foods (Paperback)
I didn't find this booklet to be user friendly at all. I had hoped for a full alphabetical listing of all foods and their GL value. This book is arranged with listings under various headings (categories of food, type of meal etc). Organising the information in this way made it time consuming to find the information I was looking for. Also I found the food listings were limited.

This review is from: The Low-GL Diet Counter: Discover the GL Count of Hundreds of Foods (Paperback)
A brilliant book which had me quickly ordering the recipe book. It explains well how to control your blood sugar levels and keep hunger away. I'd recommend it to anyone who's looking for an easy way of learning about Low GI foods (GL is glycemic load, which is a more realistic approach to GI foods.. in serving sizes as opposed to per 100g).
