The Easy GI Diet Works
This book was bargain priced and arrived in excellent condition from the UK in one week.Have been on the Easy GI Diet for one month and lost 10 pounds by avoiding the 'bad' carbs and walking daily. ... Read more

Product Description
Americans are gluttons for diet fads. The trouble is, trendy diets—no matter how effective in helping you lose weight—usually fail when it comes to keeping the weight off. And most impose so many restrictions that they make eating a grim duty.

The G.I. Diet Cookbook pursues a much more enjoyable strategy. Its 100-plus recipes, created by British food celebrity Antony Worrall Thompson, emphasize satisfaction, not deprivation. The glycemic index focuses on the benefits of low-G.I. foods from every category, including carbohydrates. Because they’re slow to digest, low-G.I. foods make you feel less hungry, allowing you to shed pounds effortlessly. And because the book’s dishes are so varied and delicious, maintaining weight loss is easier than ever before.

The G.I. diet is rooted in sound nutritional principles that have long been used by diabetics to control their weight and blood sugar. But Thompson’s culinary ingenuity—and his devotion to preparing food that’s as tasty as it is healthy—has transformed this formerly “medical” diet into one that everyone will find irresistible. ...

Imaginative and sensible
I must completely disagree with the other reviewers on this one. I bought this book because I borrowed it from the library and loved it so much, I had to have a copy.
Why do I love it?
It has simple, quick and foolproof recipes for dishes that are light, low calorie and fat and use low GI ingredients like Lentils, Beans, Barley, fish, tofu, lean meats, (even liver), quick and foolproof bread and muffin mixes. Admittedly, this United Kingdom cookbook is not for every american kitchen. There is no instant anything, reduced fat mac 'n cheese, or healthy fried chicken. There are chunky soups filled with beans and vegetables, kebabs, new ways to eat tofu, baked rice pudding, a lot of fresh fruit variations, mediterranean platters and snacks. Want to eat eggplant -- not breaded and fried with parmesan cheese -- but in chunky spicy salsas, a filling asian inspired stir-fry and creamy, low fat pasta sauce?

Love it and highly recommend it if you like global cuisines.
The South African seed bread is an absolute winner. Easy, high in protein and very low in fat and sugar. My family can't get enough of it and it takes under 10 minutes to prepare.

OK

Very good description of diet,but it goes on a bit and can get a bit confusing.I also wasnt overly blown away by the recipes, some of the ingredients a little hard to come back and when I see that I dont bother.

Too fancy
Many of the recipes require ingredients/spices that are not something a typical family would use. ... Read more

Product Description
In this first-ever family cookbook based on the science behind the glycemic index (GI), the authors of the best-selling New Glucose Revolution series of authoritative guides to the GI, show you how to feed the whole family with the right balance of nutrition and develop healthy eating habits for life.

Low GI eating has advantages for everyone--including healthy, growing children. By raising blood glucose and insulin levels more gradually and evenly (which means food is more filling), low GI diets reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes and obesity.

An essential guide to raising and nourishing children of all ages, The New Glucose Revolution Low GI Family Cookbook has ideas for healthy meals for every time of day, from breakfast to dinner to dessert. You'll also learn strategies to help kids make smart food choices, how to plan balanced diets and substitute high GI foods with low GI alternatives, and information for feeding kids with food allergies or sensitivities.

With low GI varieties of family favorites like mac 'n' cheese and spaghetti with meatballs, this cookbook also includes many other tasty, kid-tested recipes, including, baked crispy fish pieces, French toast with strawberry and banana topping, cheesy vegetable patties, frozen berry yogurt popsicles, homemade popcorn, and easy tomato tuna pasta.

Providing your family with the nutrition they require can be a challenge when you're confronted with a range of ages and preferences. But with The New Glucose Revolution Low GI Family Cookbook, you can feed your whole family nutritious and enticing meals while learning the healthy eating habits of the GI--for a lifetime of health and vitality. ...

Not at all what I thought it would be
I just received this book in the mail.I was really looking forward to it, and what a disappointment!I will be returning it.Being newly diagnosed with Diabetes and wanting to lose some weight I've decided to do the low glycemic thing.My only problem is, I tend to be somewhat of a picky eater.I bought this book thinking that the recipes would be "picky-eater" friendly since it's geared towards children and families.How wrong I was.

Not only are half of the recipes something I would never consider eating (and most likely children too), but many contain questionable ingredients on the glycemic index, such as brown sugar, etc.Additionally, nowhere do they provide approximate GI values or GL values for any of the recipes.Ridiculous!They do indicate total number of carbohydrates per serving, of which many recipes reach into the 50s, which is relatively high.

All in all, I'm very disappointed.I had previously purchased The Glycemic Index Diet for Dummies and The Complete Idiot's Guide Glycemic Index Cookbook, both of which were far superior to this book which is claimed to have been written by the world's foremost authority on the glycemic index.HA!

GI Index
This is a great book I really enjoy going through it. Has helped me alot

Not for the entire family
Some good recipes, but most were for or would appeal to children,if you are looking for recipes for yourself or you and your spouse as I was, I do not recommend....

For a Fit and Fabulous Family
Fun, healthy food for the entire family. Not too difficult to prepare for busy moms and dads, either. Kids should love most of it, although the look and textures may be off-ptting for some.

cookbook
This ended up being just another cookbook, with a glucose spin. I'm not impressed. Books such as this need to be written with everyday cooking in mind, not with fancy or complicated recipes but with recipes we already use but with some modifications. ... Read more
