Summary

The low GI (glycemic index) nutrition approach-which ranks foods based on how quickly they raise your blood-sugar levels-is widely acknowledged by health experts as the healthier, better balanced, and more flexible alternative to every other diet regimen. Why? Because low GI foods satisfy your hunger, increase your energy levels, and eliminate your desire to eat more than you should. Whether you're brand-new to the GI or have been following it for years, The Low GI Diet Cookbook will inspire you to embrace the concept of the glycemic index in your daily meal planning and cooking. Its 100 simple, delicious recipes will not only help you lose weight but confer all the benefits of a low GI diet-for a lifetime of healthy eating. Book jacket.
