Review of The New Glucose Revolution Pocket Guide to Losing Weight (Paperback)

I have used this book in conjuction with the SouthBeach Diet and have lost 40 pounds.I have found that when I eat foods with a lower gycemic index I feel better and I don't get the wild ups and downs in my blood sugar which were causing the tendency to binge eat.

I no longer feel that I have to "diet"and white knuckle my way thin, but have truely made a lifestyle change that is changing my life. Nor do I have to be 100% perfect all the time to still see results.Also, no more measuring, or counting or obsessing about foods.It's very freeing.

Review of The New Glucose Revolution Life Plan: Discover How to Make the Glycemic Index the Foundation for a Lifetime of Healthy Eating (Paperback)

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.
