Review Summary: Handy Guide |
Date: 2008-11-04 |
|
| |
|
Details: The more I learn about nutrition, the more the evidence points to sugar and refined grains as the combined #1 problem in our diets contributing to the obesity and diabetes epidemics. As I have limited my intake of sugar and grains and paid greater attention to the Glycemic Index, I have noticed that I feel better throughout the day and don't experience the same spikes and dips in energy and hunger. It has also helped me manage my weight better, which has been a chronic issue for me. This guide is helpful in letting you know how to manage your sugar intake, but it's also important to understand the concept of Glycemic Load, which is not the same as the Index. (For example, eating protein and fiber at the same meal as your carbohydrate intake lowers or slows down the glycemic load, which is just as important as the total index.) This is a good guide to have and refer to when needed. |

Review Summary: A MUST READ FOR DIETERS |
Date: 2008-09-04 |

Details: One of my problems with trying to maintain a healthy weight is continuing feeling of hunger. The concept of Glycemic Index (G.I.), i.e. how fast food is turned into blood sugar, which in turn causes the pancreas to put out a lot of insulin, which in turn causes extreme hunger,always made sense to me. The problem was, how do you know what is the G.I. of all the food around you. Well this book perfectly listed almost every food that you will be exposed to. Once I selected to only eat really low G.I. foods, my hunger left me right away and my weight started to come off.
The only reason I didn't rate the book a 5 star is something they did that they maybe thought would be helpful but got in the way. They classified all the foods like vegetables, nuts, meats, etc. then within that classification listed them alphabetically. Well that kept getting in my way because, not being a food expert, I couldn't always guess what was the food I was looking for classification. Many times, I thought they hadn't listed the food, but in actuality it I was looking in the wrong clarification. It would have been better if all the foods were simply listed alphabetically. I didn't care about its classification because that had no nutritional impact to me. |

Details: I was disappointed with this book. Most of the name brand products they had on their list are only available in Canada. This was of very little use to me since I live in California. |
