Customer Reviews

Total waste of money.

I have never heard of some of the ingredients and I have no idea how I could get them. Most of the ingredients I recognize I would not eat. I thought I would find one or two recipes I would like. I didn't. Unless you are into new age sorts of recipes, can run all over town getting the ingredients and have hours to spend in the kitchen, save your money. I wish I had!

Insightful

Delivery was very fast and the book was in great condition. I have found it to be very enlightening. I am glad I got it. Thank you.

a great addition to the Glycemic Load Diet

I'm happy that I did research taking the glycemic index a step further and found the info on glycemic load. Definitely better for diabetes type 2 that I have.

Forget The Glycemic Index, Get Delicious Low-Carb, Low-Glycemic Load Recipes From Dana Carpender

We've heard a lot about the glycemic index in recent years, but not many people know exactly what that means and why they should care. The problem with GI is it is an incomplete equation when it comes to figuring out what impact a particular food will have on the body. A better tool is to determine the glycemic load of what you eat and that's something Dr. Rob Thompson has devoted himself to with his diet plan. In this book of recipes that serves as a companion to The Glycemic-Load Diet, Dr. Thompson teams up with world-famous low-carb cookbook author Dana Carpender to whip up some yummy recipes that are designed to control insulin spikes which lead to weight gain, hunger, and disease. One thing you can always count on when Dana Carpender contributes recipes to a cookbook is variety, mouthwatering dishes, and a commitment to keeping them low-carb. You get 150 outstanding recipes to enjoy for breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, and everything in between with this book!

Another winner!

Dana Carpender has another winner with this book! What I like about her books is that they are what you really want to eat! I love the bran muffins, the curried cashews, and the rice-a-phoney! I'm sure I will enjoy other recipes as I continue to explore the book.

Another winner from Dana Carpender

A straight forward and immensely useful review of the Glycemic Load Diet plus lots of really delicious recipes. Dana's work is in my experience always well researched, entertaining, educational and makes for fabulous food that contributes to your health. If you're thinking of returning to health this New Year this should be your first buy and if you have Dana's other cookbooks you won't find this redundant, but fresh and inspiring.
