Product Description

Forget Atkins. Low-GI eating has now become established as the biggest and healthiest new diet trend. From the original team who brought us THE NEW GLUCOSE REVOLUTION, here is a simple twelve-week diet action plan which shows you exactly how to switch to a low GI lifestyle.



The science behind this series has turned around the way people view dieting and carbohydrates. This book presents the principles of low-GI eating in an easy-to-understand diet. There are delicious recipes and meal plans to help you choose the best foods, plus exercise suggestions and regular progress checks to inspire and reward. The six months ahead are often the make-or-break months for weight loss, so the authors look in detail at this time and provide encouraging targets and case studies.



Simple and lasting, this is the perfect diet book for those wishing to adopt – and stick to – the low-GI lifestyle.

The best low GI book you will find!
This book is absolutely fantastic! I was recently diagnosed with PCOS which affects your insulin levels and was recommended by my GP to follow a low GI diet. I've spent the last few years (before being diagnosed with PCOS)sticking to a low fat diet, and despite reading many books on low GI I was really struggling to get to grips with it. That was until I found this book in my local library, and found it so useful and informative that I had to buy it! It explains all the reasons behind eating a low GI diet, as well as explaining the different food groups you should be eating and giving specific portion sizes according to your weight. It also gives a 12-week plan to ease you gently into it, and to help you change the way you think about food. I've been unsuccessfully trying to lose weight for about 18 months now, but after a couple of months sticking to this eating plan I've lost a few pounds, which I'm ecstatic about (it's incredibly difficult to lose weight when you have PCOS)! I'd say that whatever your current state of health, this is a very healthy way of eating, and I'll certainly be following it 'for life' - I recommend you do the same!
