Metabolic Booster

I just knew there had to be a way to boost my metabolism that didn't involve pumping iron. I found out how in this book. I'm eating low-glycemic foods, have more energy, and my clothes are looser. I love the clear and friendly writing style, and the author seems to care that I'm successful. As an avid reader of diet books, I find this one uniquely addresses the psychology of overeating and the day-to-day challenges of knowing what to eat. The five Tibetan exercises in the book are firming up my double chin and midriff. I love this book.

Very helpful book!

Great book - packed full of useful information and numerous tips for eating well in all situations. So many of them were new to me and the book explained a lot of things I did not understand before (and I think of myself as knowing a lot about nutrition). This book has given me an understanding how food works in my body, which has helped me make good choices and lose weight.

BUY THIS ONE FIRST!

I was diagnosed with Insulin Resistance about a year ago, and while doing my research, I recently discovered the GI Diet and I have to say this book is wonderful at explaining all the terms and giving me the basics, so that I can finally lose weight. I am currently involved in Weight Watchers and kept gaining weight each week. With this diet, I am LOSING and it feels wonderful. WW is great for support and encouragement, so I am using it together with the Glycemic Diet. This book has helped me tremendously and it is very easy to read and understand. Some of the GI books were way too technical. Thank you for this book.

Very informative

This book is a down to earth and humorous take on using the glycemic index to control or lose weight. It gives the reader the needed information to make wise choices for implementing the diet and yet does not overload one with excessive termonology and scientific reasoning. A great book for one wanting to learn more about using the glycemic index program.

Very helpful

I thought this book was very helpful. It not only gives you ratings by glycemic index but also by load. It also discusses sleep, artificial sweeteners and other issues that affect weight gain. Cutting back on artifical sweeteners has really curbed my appetitie. And of course, the information on the Glycemic index is a very useful tool. There were some foods that I thought were a problem that I found out had very high glycemic indexes. I highly recommend this book.
