Product Description

Dr Hilary Jones

"a flexible, realistic and forgiving approach to dieting...inspirational and encouraging it transforms your entire relationship with food"

Product Description

Everyone knows the benefits of focusing on the right carbs when dieting. However, it isn't always easy. Now for the first time, you can use this unique point-counting system and lose weight forever. The Glycaemic index (GI) is one the hottest topics in dieting today, yet even using that to shed kilos can be difficult. However, with the GI point system there's no stress and no complicated calculations. Each food item has been given a points value: simply add up the points of your favourite foods each day and off you go! And it's flexible - even if you are a bit naughty now and then, you can still lose weight and get healthy. The GI diet is not about avoiding foods - it's about balancing your meals, and it is designed to keep you full for longer so you don't feel you're on a diet.

5.0 out of 5 stars G.I. Points Diet, 25 May 2004
This review is from: The GI Plan: Lose Weight Forever (Previously published as The Gi Point Diet) (Paperback)
I have followed the G.I. Points Diet for 11 weeks now and have lost 21 lbs! I have found that on weeks when I haven't lost I have managed to maintain which is something I have not been able to do on previous diets.

My blood pressure has lowered beautifully, my mass body index has changed for the good, I am at much less risk of joint problems and other weight related issues. My GP is very pleased with my progress.

I am enjoying the plan because I don't feel as though I am on a diet! People at work often ask me "what are you eating now?" I really enjoy my snacks and find that I don't suffer from the hunger pangs and drops in energy that I used to have. (especially during parts of your monthly cycle...for women)

It's a real treat to have a 3 course meal with a yummy homemade, points- free veggie soup and a sugar free jelly for dessert! Try popping some fresh strawberries in and having a generous dollop of fat free fromage frais on top.

I find that this new way of eating is so flexible whether you are eating in or out, I also have no difficulty making sensible choices using the Veggie, Veggie, Protein, Carbs method of choosing food.

Of course I have had the odd lapse and have been cross with myself for going back to the old habit of "comfort eating" but have just got back on track straight away, not dwelt on it. Before I would have carried on bingeing!

My skin and hair are in fantastic condition and I love the exercising as part of my daily routine whether it is walking or sports. Even if you are not able to exercise fully as I wasn't when I pulled a muscle and couldn't do much for 2 weeks, there are "armchair exercises" you can do and a couple of tins of beans make great weights so you can "lift those arms" even while watching TV.

I have to admit I was sceptical at first as I have tried...and failed on so many diets before. This is a lifestyle change, an education and it all makes so much sense!!! I have lost slowly but surely and most importantly kept it off.

I would highly recommend the G.I.Points diet to everyone, it is a steady, sensible plan that will change your life for all the right reasons, the book is an inspiration, make sure you read the motivation sections, it's a vital part of the plan.

IF I CAN DO IT ANYONE CAN!! WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO LOSE....ONLY WEIGHT.

CHRIS WORNE, SUFFOLK.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nothing to lose but weight!?, 27 Jan 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: The GI Plan: Lose Weight Forever (Previously published as The Gi Point Diet) (Paperback)
I was a little sceptical when I bought this book but having had pregnancy diabetes I have been advised to watch my diet in future as I am at high risk of developing the disease. I chose this one because of the points system which made it easier to follow.
I can honestly say I don't feel hungry. I am also losing weight. I have stopped the swinging blood sugars and accompanying mood changes.
My only slight criticism is the basic food list. It has little in the way of branded food and there is no way of working out points for yourself.
The philosophy is easy to follow and makes a great deal of sense. I'd recommend it to anyone interested in adopting this dietery lifestyle.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yes, Dieting Can be this Easy., 14 May 2004
By P. Naylor "Pat" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The GI Plan: Lose Weight Forever (Previously published as The Gi Point Diet) (Paperback)
The GI Points Diet is a well-written and easy to follow book. It outlines why and how GI points work as well as providing hints on keeping up your motivation.

It has very useful sections on what to look for when reading nutrient labels on food products, what to choose when eating out and what to shop for in the supermarket. The authors explain how to incorporate the diet into normal family mealtimes without the need for special ingredients or costly ready meals.

The book features an amazingly wide range of recipes covering most tastes and preferences and even some exercises you can do while sitting at your desk.

A book that will keep the whole family healthy without them even realising they are on a diet!
