Review of The Glycemic-Load Diet: A powerful new program for losing weight and reversing insulin resistance (Paperback)

I have spent a lot of time reading and researching low carb diets. While this does not make me an expert, I have learned a lot over the years.I've studied Atkins, South Beach Diet, the Zone Diet, Protein Power, and others.I've posted hundreds of messages upon bulliten boards discussing the best way to eat healthy, exercise and lose weight.

Rob Thompson's Glycemic Load Diet book takes the most effective parts of the various low carb and low starch diets and puts it together in a clear and concise manner.This book does not necessarily define a diet as it does describe a way of eating that is easy to follow and effective for weight loss.

The Glycemic Index ranks foods by their effects upon your blood sugar. However it is only the glycemic load that takes into account the serving size when measuring the effects of foods on our bodies.Rob Thompson's book explains the importance of glycemic load and how it can be used to ensure your blood sugar levels remain stable.

The simple fact is that most low carbohydrate plans go too far in restricting foods.This book simply advises that you refrain from eating starchy food such as breads, potatoes, and rice.The book advocates eating proteins, vegetables and fruits as staples of your meals and even gives practical advice on how to have dessert without sabatoging your blood sugar.

Who should read this book?Everyone.Literally everyone can benefit from the practical knowledge of the effects of various foods and how to temper them.Rob Thompson's advice is simple yet powerful:avoid foods that will make you fat, exercise at least once every 48 hours (walking for 40 minutes is ideal), and see how over time your body will become healthy.The weight will come off slowly but surely;anywhere from 1 to 2 pounds a week can be expected.

I am personally following this way of life and love how easy and satisfying it is to follow.Do yourself a favor and buy this book.It may not be magic, but it could save your life.

Product Description

A cardiologist's revolutionary weight-loss plan that allows dieters to enjoy good carbs while still losing weight


The glycemic index has been the basis of many popular diets. But it doesn't take into account the serving sizes people actually eat and eliminates too many foods for dieters to stick with it. Now Dr. Robert Thompson's breakthrough program uses the glycemic load--the glycemic index adjusted for serving size--to take the GI a step forward. The glycemic load is a more accurate and effective tool in controlling weight and insulin resistance, allowing dieters to eat more foods while still burning fat, cutting cravings, and speeding up their metabolism. Safe, simple, and scientifically proven, it's the smartest weight-loss plan yet.

It isn't a diet, it is a way of life that makes sense and works! My Italian pasta/bagle loving husband and I, a chocoholic,and mother of five, were worried about midlife pounds, lack of energy and family genetics of diabetes.Dr. Thompson's book made so much sense that we tried it.We have each lost 30 pounds(he looks yummy again!), have more energy, have gotten back to our walking regiment and are still enjoying eating. We have fun discovering better ways to order from menus, are amazed the "punch" a few cherries or pistachio nuts can have and I can still eat chocolate! This book gave us back control of our bodies and our lives!
