The Complete Glycemic Index & Glycemic Load Counters for 4000+ Foods: Your Essential Companion to Low-glycemic Diets

Great little book

Everyone managing sugar intake should have this reference.

Huge long lists of tables is not very useful. I would suggest summaries and indexes to make the book more useful.

If you're looking for the science of how the body works, it's fine. If you are someone who is new to healthy eating, it's fine.If you already have an understanding of healthy eating and you are looking for specific information, terrible resource.If you were looking for a proper index/chart for glycemic load as well as glycemic index not so great. Glycemic load information was limited and the "charts" are not designed for a quick reference. Basically, in order to find the glycemic load of something on the go, you would have to keep a calculator on you at all times which realistically no one has that kind of time. A waste of money in my opinion. The indexes are clearly thrown together and an afterthought.

Admittedly I was looking for a resource to educate me about the GI. I was also looking for an index of foods I could look up. While almost every conceivable food is in the book they can also be difficult to find. Chapters list foods in that category but are divided in a manner that doesn’t always seem logical. I wish there we were index of foods to make them easier to find. I usually give up before finding what I’m looking for. I would recommend this book for educational purposes. I would not recommend this book if you want to look up GI food values.

The book is very informative.. I refer to it frequently. It’s just what I needed to plan meals by looking up food items for dietary info

This is a must-have weight loss guide! The organization is superb…the explanations so well written…do not hesitate to add this book to your collection!

Lots of good info.
