The Low GI Diet Revolution: The Definitive Science-Bases Weight Loss Plan (New Glucose Revolution Series) FROM THE PUBLISHER
Nearly every best-selling diet book out today uses the glycemic index (GI) to help dieters reach their goals. Now the world's leading authorities on the GI leverage their revolutionary discoveries into a surefire diet that delivers weight loss and a way of eating smart for life. Rather than advocating drastically cutting carbohydrates as the answer to weight loss, this diet shows readers how to control carbohydrate intake and make "smart carb" choices that will promote weight loss and good health for life. The Low GI Smart Carb Diet uniquely provides three key goals, covering food, exercise, and activity, plus an innovative "food for thought" section-providing critical information about carbs, the GI, and other key topics-for the first twelve weeks of the diet. Delicious meal plans keep readers feeling satisfied, effective exercises help them slim down and tone up, and regular progress checks will inspire them to continue moving forward. In addition, a maintenance plan gets readers through the next six months-often the make-or-break months for weight loss-and offers tips on beating the mental difficulties associated with dieting. With thirty delicious low GI recipes, this is the only "smart" choice for everyone who wants to be fit and fabulous for life.

FROM THE CRITICS
Jean Carper - best-selling author of Miracle Cures and USA Weekend columnist
"This is the best diet book-and the only one that offers a lifetime plan for healthy eating. I recommend it above all others."
JoAnn E. Manson - MD, DrPH, Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Chief of Division of Preventive Medicine, Brigham and Women's Hospital
"The scientific studies continue to bolster the ground-breaking theories of Brand-Miller and colleagues. The glycemic index and distinctions between types of carbohydrates are key elements of a healthful diet and achieving optimal health. This authoritative but highly readable book explains the science and provides all the tools you need to change your diet and improve your health."
David S. Ludwig - MD, PhD, Director, Obesity Program & Optimal Weight for Life (OWL) clinic, Children's Hospital Boston
"Written by leading authorities in nutrition, The Low GI Diet Revolution focuses on both components of successful long-term weight loss: a diet that addresses the biological causes of overeating and an exercise plan to burn off those extra calories. This program is simple, practical, and powerful. I recommend it with enthusiasm."
Library Journal
All carbs are not created equal. The bad ones (chips, candy) are the ones with a high glycemic index (GI), that is, they are digested quickly. Good carbs (whole grains, legumes) are digested slowly, meaning that you eat less of them before you feel full. This diet from the best-selling Australian authors of The New Glucose Revolution incorporates good carbs with proper amounts of protein and fats. Their program includes meal plans (with 30 recipes), a sensible exercise regimen, and tips for keeping the weight off. An excellent choice for those who might otherwise abstain totally from carbohydrates. Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
