Absolutely fabulous book.
I learned so so so very much about what insulin resistance means and how to eat in a way compatible with my body's metabolism.
It's a bit hard to stick with at first, as all diets are, but now that I've been on it hard core for about 1.5 months, I feel so much better. I've managed to cut caffeine out of my diet completely because I no longer feel sluggish in the morning. I sleep a restful sleep at night, and I sleep the whole night through. I ge...more

It's a handy resource and certainly worth looking at if recently diagnosed, but I didn't learn anything that I hadn't already in just one session with a dietician.
Had some helpful information in the first couple of chapters, then it was mostly just recipe lists. Not as good of a resource as I'd hoped.
I like this book. It was very informative
Must read!
A really good book for PCOS patients. It not only explains the condition well but also provides a huge glycemic index in the back and a recipe section that looks the most promising of those I've read.
Certainly worth it if you have PCOS. Glucose Revolution seems to be in tune with Weight Watchers and Volumetrics and all the other books/programs that tell you to stick to "filling foods" or at least ones made from real food and that aren't highly processed. I went back to WW shortly after reading this book, so I'm not following the plan outlined here to a T, but I am taking a lot of their suggestions into consideration as I eat my daily points.
A wonderful, easy to read book outlining the way to eat more healthily with PCOS. It's nothing weird- basically more whole grains, fruits and veggies. But to be careful with the sugars! I enjoyed this very much, and found some helpful recipes as well. The only downside- it was written in UK so some of the ingrediants and products mentioned in the book are not available in japan.
