Helpful

Helpful in understanding the concept of diminished hunger using Glycemic Index as a dietary guide.

New Glucose Revolution by Miller et al.

This book will be invaluable in the ongoing management of diabetes and pre-diabetic states. The authors provide a glycemic index to assist in establishing a normal glucose level and deviations from the norm. Omega 3 fish oils have been shown to be a useful addition to the diet. There are samples of typical polyunsaturated fats in each food group together with recommended portions to assist in regulating harmful fats. This work provides a thoroughly scientific rendition for use in minimizing the glycemic load in order to promote better health. It is a solid value for the price charged.

Helpful information... if you're in Australia

I had searched far and wide for a good listing of foods by Glycemic LOAD (different from glycemic index). This book does have a really nice compilation that includes glycemic load and glycemic index as well as net carb count all in one chart. The frustrating part is that it is focused more on Canadian and Australian products than on United States. Many of the items that are listed are not available here. But it IS better than anything I've been able to find thus far.

More, Please

What we need is more. More specific results, more numbers for foods available in the US, more specific name-brand items, more, more, much more. Yes, I realize that research is time-consuming and expensive. I realize this is the best available resource. But we need more...Just for fun, you should read the South Beach Diet book for contrast. This book (NGR) looks to me to have a more balanced, long term approach whereas the SBD seems to be focused on those that want fast results. Following the NGR guidelines, it seems like I eat more than I used to and am full more often, but I've lost 30 pounds over the last 4 months.
