Has anyone else heard of this diet book or are currently on the diet itself? I bought it (the book)tonight during a trip to the mall.
It seems like a great plan and everything is based on portion control and the glycemic index.

I really do hope your book is better than "the Gi Guide" by Rick Gallop & Hamish Renton, which in my opinion is very shoddily written (probably because of Hamish Renton). The book I have was distributed by Tesco supermarket chain and lists foods using the traffic light system (low. medium. high) at the back.
It is a great idea, but there are plenty of other diets which incorporate the low-glycemic idea and have other ideas besides. For example, Eat To Live.

Hi there
I actually am trying the low GI diet...I guess I am just trying to stay away from starch...so bread, pasta, rice...
I have lost 2lbs in 5 days and its relatively easy to do. I still have the occasional half a muffin or piece of bread or candy...but I try not to do that too often...
If you have any other ideas that would be great..

| I don't have this book but I do have Sugar Busters which is based on the glycemic index. I just pulled it out yesterday after not looking at it for years. I can see that although I gave up all candy, cookies, and other sugary foods a few years ago, I'm still eating too much white bread, potatoes, corn flakes, etc. This plan seems to speak to my particular needs more than any other. I clearly only overeat the high glycemic foods while I'm never tempted to binge on protein foods.

Yes I do that too.
I have not been very good. I think I am more contious of what I eat and I try to eat less bread and patatos but I am only good about 30% of the time..still not good enough.but I will keep going..a bit of a good change is better than nothing right?
Thanks
Ewa

I am trying to get into the army and would be very interested in hearing more aobut this diet, as I'm not really sure about what to eat. Prior to having an interest in the army I ate lots and lots of fast food (ex-truck driver here) that was anything but healthy. I want to eat healthy, but I don't want to sacrifice yummy tasting food, it's very hard!

I have been on this plan since march - lost 11lbs - and it is very livable for the long run. I can eat normal foods and the recipes are easy to make and others are easily adaptable. I like this plan because I don't HAVE to count calories or anything, but i do watch what i eat. FF dairy isn't fun, so i don't do that.
the food focus is fresh, unprocessed fruits and veggies and whole grains. even though i haven't lost much weight, I know that i can stick to it for life.
the idea is that when a person eats foods that haven't been processed, the blood sugar doesn't spike quickly and therefore you feel fuller longer. it is not a starvation diet. couldn't be farther from that.
