Product Description

'One doesn't have to be a rocket scientist to realize that food can prevent and treat disease.' The evidence is out there: lifestyle disorders such as obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease; chronic inflammatory diseases such as asthma or rheumatic illnesses; female infertility; cancer - all have a great deal to do with the kind of food we eat. Dr Lindberg, who runs a state-of-the-art clinic offering patients multidisciplinary treatment for these degenerative disorders, shows you how to change your lifestyle so you can control your weight and your blood sugar, and improve your overall health. Returning to his Greek roots, he advocates eating natural foods and keeping a close eye on the Glycaemic Index. His exposition of current scientific thinking is fascinating and his recipes are at the most delicious end of the 'Mediterranean diet' spectrum. Buy, understand, eat and enjoy the healthy life!

A refreshing non gimicky, lifestyle, non-diet diet
I've been on a diet for at least 35 years and tried every diet going, buying all the latest gimics I've at last found a way of eating that is sustainable, increases energy and aids sustained weight loss. I feel great and I'm not hungry.

What a change a diet the recognises you have human failings ... a new way of eating good wholesome food without feeling hungry ... with excellent explanations of why diets don't work ... and why this one does!

Dr Lindberg uses the latest medical research studies to back up his recommendations ... which explain why the western way of eating is leading to increased heart disease, diabetes and other chronic illnesses.

For all of you failed dieters who don't hardly eat and don't know where to turn next ...BUY IT ... ITS WELL WORTH THE INVESTMENT!

PS I've never left a review on Amazon before and I've bought plenty! But I feel so strongly I want to tell you all about this way of eating!

The best GI-GL diet book
If you want to start a diet based on the Glycemic index or glycemic load principle this book is wonderful. FActs are explained in a very comprehensive way, other types of diets are mentioned and the reason why they don't work in the long run.
What I like about this book and what makes it different than the many other diet books in the market is its medical back up taken down to the layman's level.
There's a mention of the slow-carb revolution, hormonal balance, metabolism, dietary supplements and whether we need them, glycaemic load lists, the diet per se, a four week menu plan, good simple recipes and glycaemic load lists.

Clear & Helpful diet that really works
This is the perfect dieting book: no-nonsense tips and recipes that really work. And the food tastes good too. I lost a lot of weight following his plan, and it was not too painful, either. I thoroughly recomend it.
