The Easy GL Diet Handbook: Lose Weight with the Revolutionary Glycemic Load Program [Paperback] Review

Please be aware of the word "handbook".This "book" was small--about 5x7 size.In searching for a reference to assist me in recording in my food diary, I thought this would do so.The foods are listed in five columns--the "food", the "GI value", the "amount of food in grams containing 50 grams of carbohydrates", then "carbohydrate per 100 grams of food" and then the "GL" column--not "one apple" or "1/3 c of rice", etc.So it was not much help to me.Most text's that I have viewed so far have GI/GL information for a food serving but it is very limited but this booklet's listed servings were indescript and not adaptable to everyday life. The booklet itself was in great condition and it was promptly delivered.

Product Description:
The Glycemic Index (GI) is a highly acclaimed route to weight loss, but it has one big drawback: GI values don't take portion sizes into account. Glycemic Load (GL) values ajust the GI score for real-world portions and thus give a more accurate measure of the way carbohydrates affect the body.

For example, fresh fruit seems like a healthier dessert than a Snickers candy bar, but, in fact, the GI score for apricots is 57, while a Snickers is only 55. This happens because the GI score is computed based on a serving of apricots that is over 7 times the size of the candy bar. When adjusted to the real-world serving size, the candy bar has a GL of 31, while the apricot's GL value is only 4.

Using these more accurate and sensible GL scores, the Easy GL Diet Handbook offers a plan for healthy weight loss and reduced risk of diabetes that is easier to follow and includes numerous foods that the Atkins, South Beach and GI diets wrongly consider "off limits."

The Glycemic-Load Diet: A powerful new program for losing weight and reversing insulin resistance [Paperback] Review

I have spent a lot of time reading and researching low carb diets. While this does not make me an expert, I have learned a lot over the years.I've studied Atkins, South Beach Diet, the Zone Diet, Protein Power, and others.I've posted hundreds of messages upon bulliten boards discussing the best way to eat healthy, exercise and lose weight.

Rob Thompson's Glycemic Load Diet book takes the most effective parts of the various low carb and low starch diets and puts it together in a clear and concise manner.This book does not necessarily define a diet as it does describe a way of eating that is easy to follow and effective for weight loss.

The Glycemic Index ranks foods by their effects upon your blood sugar. However it is only the glycemic load that takes into account the serving size when measuring the effects of foods on our bodies.Rob Thompson's book explains the importance of glycemic load and how it can be used to ensure your blood sugar levels remain stable.

The simple fact is that most low carbohydrate plans go too far in restricting foods.This book simply advises that you refrain from eating starchy food such as breads, potatoes, and rice.The book advocates eating proteins, vegetables and fruits as staples of your meals and even gives practical advice on how to have dessert without sabatoging your blood sugar.

Who should read this book?Everyone.Literally everyone can benefit from the practical knowledge of the effects of various foods and how to temper them.Rob Thompson's advice is simple yet powerful:avoid foods that will make you fat, exercise at least once every 48 hours (walking for 40 minutes is ideal), and see how over time your body will become healthy.The weight will come off slowly but surely;anywhere from 1 to 2 pounds a week can be expected.

I am personally following this way of life and love how easy and satisfying it is to follow.Do yourself a favor and buy this book.It may not be magic, but it could save your life.

Product Description:

A cardiologist's revolutionary weight-loss plan that allows dieters to enjoy good carbs while still losing weightThe glycemic index has been the basis of many popular diets. But it doesn't take into account the serving sizes people actually eat and eliminates too many foods for dieters to stick with it. Now Dr. Robert Thompson's breakthrough program uses the glycemic load--the glycemic index adjusted for serving size--to take the GI a step forward. The glycemic load is a more accurate and effective tool in controlling weight and insulin resistance, allowing dieters to eat more foods while still burning fat, cutting cravings, and speeding up their metabolism. Safe, simple, and scientifically proven, it's the smartest weight-loss plan yet.

Fat That Doesn't Come Back: Your Guide To A Lifestyle That Releases Body Fat And Creates Health Daily [Paperback] Review

I just received this book and am sending it right back! This is the same old tired don't eat fat, don't eat egg yolks, in fact if you look at a daily sample menu don't eat calories. While I agree with his tried, old , and true suggestions of exercise both weight resistance and aerobic as well as eating frequently to maintain metabolism his virtually fat free fruit and veggie eating regimen is more well suited to the Hollywood anorexic set. And by the way, though he says don't diet, his plan looks like a diet to me. Look people, we know what we need to do. Avoid fast and processed foods. Eat a diet rich in fruit, veggies, and yes egg yolks because that is where all of the nutrition lies. It's not easy and we frequently stumble because the answers are simple; it's the implementation that is hard. We are not perfect, but the egg INCLUDING the yolk is. Eat well and skip this book. I am so glad that I did not buy his infomercial babble as well. Try "The Maker's Diet" instead.
