The G.I. measures the speed at which your body breaks down food and converts it to glucose, which is used for energy or stored as fat. When losing weight, it is critical to avoid foods that have a high G.I., because they are digested too quickly by your body. With this book you won't have to to calculate the glycemic ratings and calories because the author has done that for you, by listing foods in one of three categories:
Foods to avoid
Foods to eat occasionally, and
Foods that you can eat as much of as you want.
With recipes, snack ideas, a pull-out shopping list, tips on dining out and strategies for maintaining your new weight, you will never have to pick up another diet book! Hardcover, 208 pages.
