Synopsis

Everyone knows the benefits of focusing on the right carbs when dieting. However, it isn't always easy. Now for the first time, you can use this unique point-counting system and lose weight forever. The Glycaemic index (GI) is one the hottest topics in dieting today, yet even using that to shed kilos can be difficult. However, with the GI point system there's no stress and no complicated calculations. Each food item has been given a points value: simply add up the points of your favourite foods each day and off you go! And it's flexible - even if you are a bit naughty now and then, you can still lose weight and get healthy. The GI diet is not about avoiding foods - it's about balancing your meals, and it is designed to keep you full for longer so you don't feel you're on a diet.

About this title

Review:

"GI is fast becoming a well-known name in weight loss, and if there's one diet likely to knock Atkins off the No 1 diet spot, it's this one" (Now)

"a flexible, realistic and forgiving approach to dieting. It is not about avoiding foods, but simply eating what you like within healthy boundaries - and it even allows for those occasional naughty bites and moments when you really need comfort food. Inspirational and encouraging, it not only provides the motivation you need to stick to this diet, but also transforms your entire relationship with food" (Dr Hilary Jones)

"It looks as if GI-madness is on the way. GI-speak will soon be as common as carb-speak is now" (The Guardian)

Book Description:

First there was Atkins - now there's GI! This is the ONLY simple GI weight-loss diet
