The Glycemic Index Diet For Dummies Review

Wow. What a great read. For some background information, I am a registered dietitian and was taught that for the most part, calories in vs. calories out was the way to lose weight. I had been trying this for many years, and was unsuccessful with weight loss. Last year, I was diagnosed with PCOS, which basically stems from being insulin resistant, making it harder for me to maintain a healthy weight. At the beginning of this year, and subsequently my last year in my 20's, I knew I needed to make a change in my health to prevent diabetes and other health concerns and this would be the year to do it.

I started reading this book and couldn't put it down. The information is clear and easy to understand, and the book is a fun read with lots of humor. I couldn't believe how much I didn't know about the glycemic index/load and how different foods affect blood sugar differently. I had always assumed that as long as I kept my calories under goal, I would maintain my weight. This book taught me that the types of foods really do matter, but also, that nothing is off limits. I changed my thinking and way of eating. Now, I try to indulge in sweets and higher glycemic items as a treat vs. a daily habit.

I've also experimented with diffferent foods, mainly vegetables and grains that I would have never used. And much to my surprise, I love the taste of bulgur instead of rice, and quinoa as a grain. The recipes in the book are delicious and stuff I would actually make, unlike lots of other nutrition books with not-so-appetizing recipes. And hey, I don't miss those 25 extra pounds I was carrying around either.

Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone that wants to feel their best and take charge of their health.

The GL Diet For Dummies Review

The GL Diet For Dummies

I bought this book and "The Big GL + Diet Planner" by Fiona Hunter so I could start getting all the nutrition I possibly can from my food without feeling like I'm missing out on something, and without feeling guilty when eating some of my favorite foods. This diet helps level out your blood sugar levels which if unstable, can cause plenty of ailments-diabetes ofcourse being one of them-but can also cause mood swings and hunger cravings for more of the sugary, high-carb food you just ate!

This diet is more of a "slow" carb diet. The carbs that you eat are more slowly digested and so they sustain energy much longer and your body still has something to restock up on glucose in the muscle. (ok if my science is off a bit, just read the book:)

overall this is a great diet. For those who are on a low-carb diet, beware-this book does have a few places where it talks quite poorly of the Atkins diet, but it does also mention that without the Atkins thought on carbohydrates, nutritionists may have taken a bit longer to getting around to seeing the real effect carbs have on our blood sugar levels and health overall.

simple diet. easy to follow. anyone can do it.

After using the wonderful recipes on the website, I decided to order the Shake Off the Sugar Cookbook. I like the larger size of the book, which makes it easy to read while using it in the kitchen. This book includes many delicious everyday recipes, but also contains recipes for entertaining. You can have a lovely dinner party using this book, and every guest would enjoy their meal. The yummy recipes often use whole grains, healthy fats and are formulated with extra fiber. It is also nice to have the glycemic index handy, along with all the other helpful information about how to follow a nutritious low glycemic or low carbohydrate diet. Some of the tips and advice are written as lists, making them easy to read and understand. I highly recommend this cookbook for anyone wanting to improve his or her diet.
