The trouble is, trendy diets&#151;no matter how effective in helping you lose weight&#151;usually fail when it comes to keeping the weight off. And most impose so many restrictions that they make eating a grim duty. <BR><BR><I>The G.I. Diet Cookbook</I> pursues a much more enjoyable strategy. Its 100-plus recipes, created by British food celebrity Antony Worrall Thompson, emphasize satisfaction, not deprivation. The glycemic index focuses on the benefits of low-G.I. foods from every category, including carbohydrates. Because they're slow to digest, low-G.I. foods make you feel less hungry, allowing you to shed pounds effortlessly. And because the book's dishes are so varied and delicious, maintaining weight loss is easier than ever before. <BR><BR>The G.I. diet is rooted in sound nutritional principles that have long been used by diabetics to control their weight and blood sugar. But Thompson's culinary ingenuity&#151;and his devotion to preparing food that's as tasty as it is healthy&#151;has transformed this formerly &#147;medical&#148; diet into one that everyone will find irresistible. 1620661 1 9 2006 The GI Diet Cookbook: More Than 100 Low Glycemic-Index Recipes for Healthy Weight Loss 0 0 1 0 0 0 false false Fri May 02 09:03:10 -0700 2008 Fri May 02 09:03:10 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1626617
