GI science made easy
17 Jun 2005
Format:Paperback
I did the South Beach diet without really understanding how and why it was working. This book does a much better job of explaining the science behind it. If you're trying to understand the latest hype about "low carbs," and to separate out inaccuracies from facts, then you need to read this book. Ravage explains in clear, accessible prose, how high glycemic foods affect weight gain, why the hype about a "low carb" diet is misleading & potentially unhealthy (there are lots of good & necessary carbs), why "diets" don't work, and how you can really change your eating habits to lose weight and improve your health. It has great advice and tips for healthy and delicious meals and snacks. And, best of all, there's an exhaustive list in the back of the book that rates every food that has been tested for its GI index and tells you whether that food is high (bad), medium (OK), or low (great!) on the GI index. Makes food shopping and menu planning so much easier. I highly recommend this book to people who are thinking about changing the way they eat.

Good, but simplistic
14 Mar 2006
Format:Paperback
I found this book to be a good introductory text. I was disappointed to find that the G. I. lists were not very extensive and did not include numeric values.

best reference for low carb diet
28 Feb 2006
Format:Paperback
I bought this book after buying the Aitkens diet book, and found that it gave me more of a variety of foods to choose from. Not only have I lost just as much weight using this book, it is a handy reference for combining food groups to benefit your low carb diet. The g.i. guide is important if you seriously need to lower your weight and have health issues to deal with. I ordered three more of these books for friends who are also using them in their diet for daily reference, and they also find the information concerning the g.i. index an invaluable guide. The book has so much info and ideas for your diet, it is one of the best books you can buy.
