Summary: G-Index Diet
Review: The G-Index diet makes weight loss easy. The program is user friendly, simple and very easy to follow. I have been recommending this book to my weight loss clients for many years because of its effectiveness, simplicity and informative style.
The best part is that all of the foods include a wide variety in all food groups and are commonly available in the local grocery store. Most of my clients really like the fact that it also allows for some carbohydrates.Cheryl A. Beshada, CMHt. Certified Medical Hypnotherapist

Summary: FINALLY A WELL BALANCED DIET
Review: This book is right on the money. A well balanced diet that is SO EASY to follow. Not only are the meals great to eat, but your full all the time. (I actually started to think that I was overeating!) The meals are pretty easy to make, and the author encloses a weekly grocery list for your convience. The book outlines a complete diet for three weeks including recipes. This can't be made any easier. The G-Index book was recommended on a website for thyroid problems. Losing weight is near to impossible when you have a sluggish thyroid, however, while on this diet I have lost 5 poinds in two weeks! This is one to defintely recommend to all your friends!

Summary: Dry, boring and flavorless....
Review: This book was really hard to choke down. I've lost 120 pounds by counting calories (and kept it off for 1 1/2 years thank you) and was trying to find new ways to "shake up" my diet without excluding entire food groups the way Atkins does. But I didn't want to starve on a low-fat diets either. So I thought the G-Index diet sounded like a good idea. But after reading the book, inspecting the 21-day suggested meal plan, and absorbing the recipes I've come to a conclusion. This diet is just a really low fat, low calorie diet in disguise! On the GI diet you are allowed to eat 100% whole grain breads, and you can't have dried fruits, bananas, carrots or popcorn. (But then later the author goes on to explain you actually CAN have those foods in small quantities.) If you strip away the very small handful of high glycemic foods you can't eat, you simply have a very low fat/low calorie diet. And, the diet seems incredibly strict. For example, one lunch meal that was suggested reads: 4 Rye crackers, 1/2 a cup of cottage cheese, 1 cup bell pepper strips and a cup of cantaloupe. One typical breakfast reads: 1 slice of bread, 1 tbsp peanut butter, 1/2 cup orange juice & 1/2 cup of skim milk. I don't know about you but I'd STARVE on that!? I didn't like the guy's boring *SNORE* writing style and by the end of it, I didn't believe in what he was telling me. It left me feeling very skeptical. The reason for the two stars was because I'm sure if you followed the plan you'd lose weight. I mean, who wouldn't?? He has a grown man on an 1,800 calorie diet!

Summary: A Good Book
Review: This is a good book on a healthy way of life that is pretty far from the average (North) American diet. It has lists of the common foods and their Glycemic Index, plus recipes. It isn't strict to the point of ridiculousness as some diet books are. The authors provide a good, sound philosophy on the advantages of the Low Glycemic Diet. My only complaint is that there was too much testimonial on the benefits of the diet and examples of people's weight loss stories and not enough solid information on the glycemic index of various foods. All in all, though, a good book.
