G-Index Diet

The G-Index diet makes weight loss easy. The program is user friendly, simple and very easy to follow. I have been recommending this book to my weight loss clients for many years because of its effectiveness, simplicity and informative style.The best part is that all of the foods include a wide variety in all food groups and are commonly available in the local grocery store. Most of my clients really like the fact that it also allows for some carbohydrates.Cheryl A. Beshada, CMHt.Certified Medical HypnotherapistClinical Care NetworkSterling Heights, Michigan

FINALLY A WELL BALANCED DIET

This book is right on the money. A well balanced diet that is SO EASY to follow. Not only are the meals great to eat, but your full all the time. (I actually started to think that I was overeating!) The meals are pretty easy to make, and the author encloses a weekly grocery list for your convience. The book outlines a complete diet for three weeks including recipes. This can't be made any easier. The G-Index book was recommended on a website for thyroid problems. Losing weight is near to impossible when you have a sluggish thyroid, however, while on this diet I have lost 5 poinds in two weeks! This is one to defintely recommend to all your friends!

The best diet I have ever tried

I think this diet is easy to follow, and it works. My husband lost 17 pounds in one month when we first tried it, I lost seven pounds. The food is great, and everything is spelled out for you, right down to your grocery list. A lot of my friends are trying it now too!

Godsend for those who are hypothyroid!

I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis (hypothyroidism) two years ago. I have tried all of the low-fat high carb diets and just gained weight. Because of how my body now handles insulin and the glycemic values of foods, I have to follow a diet such as this. The results: I have been on the diet for 6 weeks and have lost 10 lbs. On previous diets there was no weight loss. To all of those who are hypothyroid it's not us, it's how we eat! This is a lifestyle change. It has not been hard either.

One of the best nutrition books out there.

Dr. Podell's book paved the way for me to lose pounds effortlessly that I have always carried. It is true that the G-Index of foods are what makes you fat. Thank you Dr. Podell for finally bringing hope to a person that did not lose weight on 900 calorie diet. Now on your 1200 cal diet I am losing weight and have the energy to even start to work out.
