GI is the Way to go

This book is extremely effective and very true in its philosophy. I love the red, yellow and green light coding as it really simplifies the concept for individuals. The graphics, too, are helpful. Anyone who follows this diet will easily understand basic concepts of eating healthy and will lose extra weight, without counting calories...how wonderful is that?

The key I've been looking for....

I have lost 11.4 pounds since I got this book four weeks ago. During that four weeks, I have eaten out many times, went on a one-week vacation (where I ate out every meal, every day), and lived through Thanksgiving. I have followed the book on average at about 80%, I'd say. Some days, I follow it exactly, then on some days I have to do the best I can with the food that is available. Through it all, I have not had any sugar. On my "off days" I have had more fat than recommended on salad dressing, and I have had quite a few sweet potatoes (a yellow light food). Those were eaten mostly when eating out at a steak house.

I refuse to eat no-fat salad dressings, and I don't care for most low-fat salad dressings. I have eaten regular ranch everytime I've had a salad. I do try to use a tick less than I normally would.

I missed/craved sugar for about three days, then the craving went away. I have seen health benefits to this way of eating. Prior to this plan, I had acid reflux and was taking something for it almost every night. I've had ONE antiacid (early on) since I started this plan.

I have not been hungry, and have enjoyed not having to count calories, fat grams, or points. I just eat what I can have and don't eat what I can't have. I have eaten a lot of fresh fruit - grapes, apples, oranges, grapefruit. I eat oatmeal probably four mornings a week, and have almonds everyday for a snack. I am eating more yogurt now. Overall, I am eating very healthy foods.

I highly recommend this book. For me, it's not a diet, but a new way of life.

GI Diet

It came in very good shape, and very promptly. Thank you for your service.

love this book!

This is an easy to read and understand book of information about the food we eat. It tells what is the best food to eat and what not to eat. You don't starve yourself. It gives great recipes along with a grocery list of foods to buy (and all are found in your grocery store). This is not a diet only the right way we need to eat. It also gives lists of grams of carbs in foods. That's important in the foods we eat. You learn what foods are good carbs and bad and how to balance them with proteins. A lot of this information I did not know. Now I know how to eat better.

Why was this a #1 bestseller in Canada in 2002? Because it is an easy-to-follow, easy-to-stick-to, truly healthy approach to eating that is based on the Glycemic Index, the original science behind The Zone Diet, but eliminates that diet's complexity and tendency to leave dieters wanting more. If you can understand a traffic light, you can understand this diet--and lose weight permanently without feeling hungry, counting calories, or jeopardizing your health. If a food is in the green column, eat it. If it's in the red column, avoid it. And if it's in the yellow column, proceed with caution. Take bread, for example. White bread, with its high G.I. number, is red-because it's so highly processed the body digests it quickly, resulting in a spike in blood sugar, a release of insulin, potential storage as fat, and a quick return of the hungry feeling. Low-G.I. 100% stone-ground whole-wheat bread is green-the body takes a while to digest it, with no spike in blood sugar and a much longer feeling of satiety. Green, yellow, red: It's all here, with a full explanation of how the diet works, plus ratings for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, eating out or eating in. Includes some recipes, snack ideas, a shopping list, and tips on dining out.
