Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Over 50 per cent of people in the UK are overweight and/or obese. This is largely due to the fact that too many people like their food to be fast and fatty. Unlike other guides dealing with weight loss, The Pocket Guide to the Glucose Revolution and losing weight doesn't concentrate on calorie reduction, but actually offers advice on how to increase your food intake: "You can eat quantity, just consider the quality".

Using the glycaemic index (or G.I. factor - a simple ranking of foods based on their immediate effect on blood sugar level), the book lists foods that fill you up, without fattening, and keep you satisfied for longer.

But the authors insist this isn't just another diet book. Instead, The Pocket Guide to the Glucose Revolution and losing weight offers no-nonsense nutritional advice and analysis designed to help you control your appetite by being choosy about what carbohydrates you eat. The message, it seems, is you don't have to starve to lose weight. Or rather, "release" weight. "After all, to lose something, suggests that you hope to find it again someday."--Christopher Kelly

Pride
'A groundbreaking guide to the glycaemic index' --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars I wish I had known about this years ago, 8 Jul 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The New Glucose Revolution (Paperback)
I am trying (and succeeding slowly) to lose weight, but hunger is always a problem for me. By following the advice in this book I have managed to reduce my snacking, and feel less hungry. I also bought 'The GI Diet' by Rick Gallop which I don't think is so good. That one is more strict and I didn't enjoy everything I was eating, so after only 2 weeks I stopped following that one and just relied on the information in the 'New Glucose Revolution'. This takes a common-sense approach, suggesting ways you can reduce your overall glyceamic load by changing some of the carbohydrates you eat for other things. You don't have to change everything to feel some results!

My dad is a diabetic, who was diagnosed only a few months ago. After trying tablets and diet changes he still couldn't get his sugar levels down enough to feel well. Desperate, he borrowed my book and tried some of the foods I was eating (nothing wierd, simply change to certain high-fibre cereals, more basmati rice instead of potato, and grainy wholemeal bread)...within 2 days his blood sugar was under control and he has now cut his tablets dose as well.

There are two main strengths to this book, first it expains why some foods are lower GI than others. There is a bit of biology and food science in there, but nothing complicated. That enables you to make informed food choices for yourself instead of just following a rule-book. Second, it doesn't make you feel you have to eat differently from normal, you can still have your favourites even if they are high GI, but you learn to combine them with something that will reduce the overall GI load. Just change some things most of the time, and you will feel better.

Shame there are not more items in the food lists at the back, so you can know the GI values of everything you eat. But there is a separate book coming soon with more extensive lists, July 2003 I think?

5.0 out of 5 stars It Works!, 25 Sep 2002
By Frenz (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Glucose Revolution: Diabetes (Paperback)
With the help of this little book, I was able to reduce my blood glucose from an average 9.5 mmol/l to an average 6.2 mmol/l. Further, the peaks and troughs of my blood glucose have been smoothed out, and it's those peaks which do the damage with diabetes complications. The information in this book is concise, easily understood and there's lots of it. If there were 10 stars, I'd give it 10 but I have to settle for 5. My advice to anyone with diabetes or looking after someone with diabetes is buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars At last a qualified and sensible reference!, 25 Jul 2004
This review is from: The New Glucose Revolution (Paperback)
As a registered nutritionist I purchased this book out of genuine interest. Given that there are numerous diet wonder plans and books on the market, that are not based on sound nutrition principles and line the pockets of "fat cats", this book is tremendously refreshing.

The information is communicated well; it is neither too scientific nor lacking. More importantly - it is based on sound nutrition principles (refer to World Health Organisation / NHS guidleines for further, non profiteering, dietary guidlines). Not only does it serve those managing weight control, diabetes etc..it is also an excellent reference point for optimising dietary health across the board (even for those with no specific dietary issues to date, including our children).

Hopefully this will help to dispel the myths of quick fix diet programmes and encourage an all round healthier approach. There is no doubt that proactive prevention is better than waiting on someone else to cure us!

Highly commended.
