My introduction to low glycemic index foods. Not the book to start with, although there is an introduction to how this works.

Like the Collins Gem GI , this book contains all the essentials of the GI system plus a comprehensive list of foods that can be used in shopping and eating out. It's bigger than the Gem book, so is less pocket or purse friendly, but it does contain more entries and is written by the people behind the Glycemic Index & Load Database website.

It seems more suited to the North American and Australian markets, so that's worth bearing in mind. It is perfectly usable in the UK -- it's just not as comprehensive as you might like.

This is a handy resource, but not nearly as helpful to me as I feel it could have been.
