Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Naturally, there is more to it than this rather obvious-sounding core precept. Rick Gallop has constructed an entire dietary plan around it, with a introductory weight-loss period followed by a less severe maintenance diet (in this, rather like the Atkins Diet but much less onerous and restrictive). There are long lists of foodstuffs graded by GI rating, a selection of (rather basic) recipes and suggestions for exercise regimes--the latter including some interesting Pilates-like strengthening routines--so the whole thing becomes more of a lifestyle plan. The most telling evidence for its effectiveness, says Gallop, is that it worked for him and everyone he has persuaded to stay the course. Judging by the collection of excited testimonials from satisfied newly thin users, it could very well be worth a try.--Robin Davidson --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Fortunately I memorised the green section of the book, which contains foods you can eat freely and I ate a couple of the amber options too. In 2 weeks I have lost 13lbs and I feel so much healthier already (and I haven't even exercised yet). I know its early days and I am eating a lot of the same things over and over again, but I find I am never hungry. I have 3 meals a day and fill up on snacks of fruit, muller light yoghurts, salad vegetables and when I really need chocolate I eat the dark 70% cocoa stuff and after eating 2 squares, it puts me off eating anymore, as its so bitter, but it does the trick and stops my chocolate craving.
I feel like a drug addict which has been weaned off refined foods. I also felt like this when I tried the Atkins diet at first, but after a week on that, I thought I was going to have a heart attack, as I constantly had heart burn from the rich fatty foods and I was bored because I couldn't snack on fruit and veg. (Just a note about Atkins - my friend lost 5 stone quickly on that diet but her kidney has now collaped as a result of too much protein and not enough water, so be careful with Atkins as the side effects are not fully known yet!)
Luckily the GI diet advocates eating low fat healthy food combined with restricting the carbs, so it seems a more sensible approach to dieting.
I would recommend giving this a go, even if you only do it for 2 weeks, you could be well on your way to losing a stone and I guarantee you will instantly feel healthier.
The only concerns I have is that I might get bored with eating the same things all the time, but I am looking forward to the GI recipe book being published in November, perhaps this will motivate me to carry on and give me some fresh ideas.
Happy eating!
Putting to one side my thoughts on the price of paperbacks in general I liked the simple style of this book and most importantly the food choices advocated. I found the book very well written and easy to follow. The more I read, the more I was amazed and came to understand why I had previously found it difficult to control my weight and how relatively simple it should be to correct this now.
What followed was even more amazing. In five weeks losing one stone in weight and an inch and a quarter off my waist. I could not have wished for more, and am now almost at my target weight and feeling a lot better in myself. In the five weeks following this book I have never once felt hungry.
I would heartily recommend this book and am grateful to the author for its production.
do not put it on again!!!
Listmania!
