Book Reviews of The Glycemic-Load Diet: A powerful new program for losing weight and reversing insulin resistance
Book Review: It Works!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've lost weight many times and gained it back. I've had Type 2 Diabetes since 1965. Last year I found myself at a high of 265 pounds, with blood sugars in the mid 300's most of the time. I was taking more than 100 units of insulin a day, and still could not get my sugars down. Also, taking that much insulin meant there was no chance I could lose weight. On this program my insulin dose dropped dramatically, and I've lost 40 pounds. I'm astonished and delighted. I follow the food plan guidelines pretty faithfully and exercise 30 minutes about 5 days a week. My blood pressure has had a nice drop too. I would have thought that this diet would be more difficult to stay with than it is. I don't crave the forbidden white food groups, sugar, flour, rice and potatoes, nearly as much as I expected to. The foods allowed are so many and so varied that I seldom feel deprived of foods I must avoid. Once you understand the principles of the diet it's easy to find recipes that meet the requirements. Though I bought the Glycemic Load Cookbook and cook from it, I also use recipes from other sources. I also recommend buying The Glycemic Load Counter, which has a more extensive GL value list than The Glycemic Load Diet book does. These book have been worth every penny. I'm so glad that I found them.
