The diet that will get you to the weight you want to be and keep you there - for good (Daily Mail )
GI is fast becoming a well-known name in weight loss, and if there's one diet likely to knock Atkins off the No 1 diet spot, it's this one (Now on The Gi Plan )
a flexible, realistic and forgiving approach to dieting. It is not about avoiding foods, but simply eating what you like within healthy boundaries - and it even allows for those occasional naughty bites and moments when you really need comfort food. Inspirational and encouraging, it not only provides the motivation you need to stick to this diet, but also transforms your entire relationship with food (Hilary Jones on The Gi Plan )
It looks as if GI-madness is on the way. GI-speak will soon be as common as carb-speak is now (Guardian )
I've tried to loose the weight so many times and diet definitely does not work for me.Finally I've found the way how to loose few kilos without dieting,just a few small changes in my lifestyle.I've lost 6.5kilos in 2 months.I don't feel like dieting and the most important fact is you don't put it back again,as long as you don't eat junk food on daily basis and big portion of food again.Please be patient,you may need 1 or 3 weeks to start to loose first kilo,maybe not.For everyone who is fed up with miracle diets,try GI plan/or the 10 days diet/.It is worth to try and stick on it!Good luck to everyone.Thank you Azmina and Nina!!!
This is an inspiring read. Guaranteed to help you on your way to a lifetime of healthy eating and a smaller waist. The recipes are tasty and don't make you feel like you are even on a diet. The shopping lists make it all so, so easy. There are no excuses left!
I found the quick recipes really easy to follow and they really do only take as long as they say! I also like the variety of food available - haven't got sick of any options as there’s always plenty to choose from and it is great that what would usually be considered 'naughty' treats e.g. rich tea biscuits/small choc bars are part of the 10-days. The best thing for me was not having to think about what to cook or eat; having it all prescribed for each meal and snack with a detailed shopping list made it much easier. This is the only diet I’ve been on which integrates 'well being' principles and exercise that caters for me when out on my lunch break, and so it works on the whole person, not just focusing on getting rid of fat.
It’s day 8 for me and I'm really not desperate for day 10 to come, which is really unusual for me as usually on other diets, I am always focusing on the end date - I can see how the principles will stick with me e.g. avoiding high GI foods in general. Also, usually with diets I become fixated on what I can't eat and want it really badly, which hasn't happened at all so I think that's a really good sign!
I have to admit that when I first started off there seemed to be so much information to read that about 20 pages in, I decided to skim read and skip to the diet, having taken on board the advice about preparation and NOT starting the plan on a Monday. I decided to follow the more structured plan where you don't have to count GiPs. I made a shopping list and was pleasantly surprised when the shop cost me the same as usual, even though I seemed to have bought much more! There have been a few meals that contain things I don't usually eat or have never tried before like lentils and ricotta cheese but I vowed to eat exactly what was on the plan. So far, to my surprise I have really enjoyed all of the recipes and they don't take very long to prepare which is great. It's been so easy to follow too, I have spent more time preparing food but I feel more alert and healthier from eating so many fresh vegetables. Preparing my lunch the night before has meant that my mornings are far less stressful and I don't end up running out the door with no lunch with me, this has meant I'm saving money because I don't pop to the sandwich shop at lunchtime. The best thing about the plan is that I feel like I'm nibbling ALL the time and the little pointers on the diet pages which offer alternatives in case you accidently miss breakfast and need to eat on the run, are brilliant for when I sleep through my alarm. I haven't had a sugar dip since I started it and I don't reach for unhealthy snacks because I don't get to the point where I'm so hungry that I can't make a good food choice. Another thing that has really helped maintain my focus is the dreamboard.... I stuck pictures of where I'd love to go on holiday, clothes that would look fab on me when I get to target, and things that I don't have the confidence to do at my current weight that I'm sure I will when I've reached my goal. I put it up in the kitchen, right next to the fridge where I see it every morning and it reminds me of why it's worth sticking to the plan and changing my lifestyle. I'm glad that there are points tables in the book, because I intend to create my own weekly plan by counting GiPs so I can continue eating lots but losing weight after the initial 10-day plan. I think the book offers a great plan to start you off and loads of good advice if you haven't dieted before, combined with the all tools you need to continue with a Low Gi lifestyle after the initial 10-day period. At day 7 my jeans are lose again!Read more ›
I've been suffering for some time from complete loss of energy throughout the day, sometimes lasting several hours, awakening in the mornings more tired than the night before and with mood swings that are scary even to me. But no longer! This book is brilliant in that it gives the background to how this works (it's not rocket science) and gives a very easy 10-day kick start diet. Once you get it, you get it and the principles caa be applied everywhere even when eating out. 10 days in and I'm a new person with so much energy I wonder how I functioned before and loving every minute. Even my moods have settled so it's not just nice for me but for everyone around me too. Try it!
Quite repetitive but some good tips. I haven't wholly stuck to the diet, but didn't intend to. I just like to read about food and diets - it was good in this sense. Some new ideas.
