The Single Most Effective Eating Plan I've Ever Seen

I first discovered the Glucose Revolution series almost 9 years ago while working to lose the last few pounds of baby weight. I'd been up and down the scale for many years and had tried dozens of weight-loss plans. After reading the original Glucose Revolution Life Plan, I tossed out the calorie counter and started watching the glycemic counts for foods. I never looked back. I've maintained a svelte figure ever since and I eat regular meals and snacks (including dark chocolate with nuts!), both at home and while dining out. I subsequently used the Glucose Revolution books extensively while researching my own books and often take it to my presentations so audiences can see it when I address weight loss and blood sugar control. This is one of the most essential books you can read for longevity, health and weight loss, and this new version is better than ever. Julie Pech Author, The Chocolate Therapist

The Glucose Revolution Life Plan

I was very skeptical about this method of blood glucose control, but after a friend tried it and lost five pounds, I thought I'd give it a try. I shop according to the pantry lists in the book and find that my family's overall food costs have decreased - along with my weight, thanks to the "bigger bodies" meal plan sample. Also, it gives a couple of different nutrient profiles (% cho, % fat, % pro) to choose from. I like the Paleolithic profile (Caveman), personally. I like most of the recipes in the book and am able to change them a little to suit my tastes while maintaining the nutritional integrity of the dish. The food is not dull or boring. I really like the meal suggestions - they teach me what my meals need to "look" like. The authors even included a meal planner suitable for kids, which is great, since Type II is a hereditary condition. Best of all, I have been able to reduce my bg levels to a normal range, lose weight and have A LOT of energy to get the execise in that completes my lifestyle goal. There are couple of recipes that sounded like something I would like, but turned out not very tasty, so I scored the book a "4". Still, I highy recommend this book. I am a skeptic, turned believer.
