The Low Glycaemic Index Solution.
Updated Second Edition.
The health breakthrough for blood sugar control, weight loss, managing diabetes and reducing the risk of heart disease.
The glycaemic index (popularly known as the G.I. factor) is the scientifically proven tool that is revolutionising the way people view what foods, especially carbohydrates, they eat. This is the worldwide bestselling book that clearly and simply explains why eating slowly digested carbohydrates (those with a low G.I. factor) will have dramatic effects on your wellbeing, and the vital importance of these foods in designing a diet for optimum health and total wellness.
The latest research clearly confirms that slowly digested carbohydrate foods like pasta, grainy breads, breakfast cereals based on wheat bran and oats, and many popular Mediterranean-style foods:
- Provide an easy and effective way to control fluctuations in blood sugar, which makes them ideal for people with diabetes
- Can help people lose weight
- Can reduce the risk of heart attack
- Will help athletes prolong endurance during training and competition
This fully updated version includes a new chapter on the G.I. factor and heart disease as well as discussing the latest findings from the Harvard University studies. And it provides more popular low G.I. meal plans, quick and easy low G.I. recipes plus simplified G.I. factor, fat and carbohydrate content tables.
