This book is absolutely fantastic! I was recently diagnosed with PCOS which affects your insulin levels and was recommended by my GP to follow a low GI diet. I've spent the last few years (before being diagnosed with PCOS)sticking to a low fat diet, and despite reading many books on low GI I was really struggling to get to grips with it. That was until I found this book in my local library, and found it so useful and informative that I had to buy it! It explains all the reasons behind eating a low GI diet, as well as explaining the different food groups you should be eating and giving specific portion sizes according to your weight. It also gives a 12-week plan to ease you gently into it, and to help you change the way you think about food. I've been unsuccessfully trying to lose weight for about 18 months now, but after a couple of months sticking to this eating plan I've lost a few pounds, which I'm ecstatic about (it's incredibly difficult to lose weight when you have PCOS)! I'd say that whatever your current state of health, this is a very healthy way of eating, and I'll certainly be following it 'for life' - I recommend you do the same!

This is a well written, informative and useful book which I would recommend if you have problems with blood sugar levels (highs and lows). The 12 week diet and exercise plan are easy to follow. At the beginning it takes a bit of time to work out how much you can eat of each type of food (carbs, protein, fats etc) but after a week or so you will be able to gauge it quite easily. As with all diets you need to reduce the calories intake if you want to lose weight, there is no way of escaping this, but being able to stabilize blood sugar levels really helps. I went down two notches on my belt in 6 weeks and only had a sugar low when I strayed. The main drawback is that the foods included in the diet plan are typical of an Australian/North American diet so if you live somewhere else or eat a different type of cuisine you will have to use what is available to you. However, the principles of the diet are well explained and there is a comprehensive list of foods with their GI values, therefore you can work out what is suitable and what not.

I wouldnt reccommed this book be used in isolation as for many of the meal plans etc there are no quantities & not all recipies are contained in the book. However to give an idea of a usual week on a GI Diet then I felt it was useful. Quite wordy & not a easy to browse than others.
