Summary: The Idiot's Guide to Glycemic Index Weightloss
Comment: I've been doing glycemic index food intake for eight years. I'm 60 yrars old and people are always amazed by how healthy and energetic I am. The glycemic index diet helps buid body muscle and reduce body fat it is as simple as that. Muscle burns calories so once you stick to this way of eating it supports a healthy lifestyle. Muscle also supports the skeletal structure which I think helps reduce back and joint problems.
I love this book,

Summary: How to do nurti-system on the cheap...
Comment: I was spending loads on nutrisystem which it's big claim it that it's low glycemic, so you don't get hungry and have energy. I like the concept, but was tired of pre-packaged foods, so I bought this. I definitely learned stuff I didn't know, such as acidic foods slowing down digestion, whether pasta is bad or not, which breads to eat and the dish on sweetners (I use Stevia now, never heard of it before). I try to follow low-glycemic concepts along w/ a reduced calorie diet for weight loss. It gets four stars b/c there was a lot to the book that wasn't helpful, but the good stuff makes it worth it!

Summary: A Must to Understanding Type II Diabetes and Food
Comment: This book is one of the best sources of information on understanding how food works in your body, especially for those who have Type II Diabetes, or have the history of this disease in their family.
I also bought a copy for my mother, who has Type II Diabetes, and she said it explained more to her than her doctor ever did. Best of all it is easy to undertand and to apply to your life and food choices. She is now on a better path forward for managing her Diabetes.

Summary: Some Suggestions Impossible to Follow
Comment: This book, while it gave some advice that was useful (news about acid foods and cinnamon), overall it was quite complicated - and actually took me off the track I had been on through another, easier to follow method of being on a low glycemic diet. Some advice to reduce stress by moving into more urban areas to avoid traffic confrontations were a bit extreme. It makes better sense that living in a less stressful home life to be a better benefit in managing our stress than just the travel time it takes to get back and forth to work. Found much information of little use - and found other books to be much more helpful with an easier path to follow.Living the G.I. (Glycemic Index) Diet
