This book educates the reader about the importance of glycaemic index in food and how to permanently change your lifestyle to keep your ideal weight for life. Unlike other diet books I've read, this book covers more than just the initial weight loss. It achieves this in two phases: the first covers the steady, safe and sustainable reduction of weight, and the second covers how to maintain your ideal weight once you reach it.

Although this is pretty much a typical calorie-restricting diet (without really talking about calories), it does take blood sugar level and hunger into account. It's a smart diet, but not really a realistic diet. It also doesn't take emotional eating into account. Good for some, I'm sure, but not me. I'll soon be reading the updated "express" version of this book to see if there are any big differences.

Anyone wanting to lose weight and eat healthy.
This gives the basic foundation of the glycemic index diet. He presents things in an easy to follow manner, and it tells you all you need to do. There aren't but a hand full of recipes in the book, so you'll be wondering what to eat after a while.
interesting, got me reading other books
The reading part of the book has some good, informative guidelines. However, the recipes I've tried so far seem bland, extremely vegetable-y, and most of them seem to taste similarly. I do understand that the point of this particular diet is to increase your vegetables, but I wasn't too impressed with these recipes in general.
Very worthwhile book by Canadian physician on how blood sugar levels have major effect on weight levels. Easy to follow charts of foods to embrace and avoid.
I really need this to get my health back!family history of heart disease my dad at 52.so far it's a really easy read
This book is helpful in good eating for the diabetic, and for those who just want to eat more healtier.
