Book Description
The glycemic index (GI)—an easy-to-understand measure of how different foods affect our blood glucose levels—is revolutionizing the way we eat. Medical experts and health authorities now advocate using GI values in making daily food decisions—so it’s never been more important to understand how to choose and benefit from low-GI foods. Clearly written by the leading experts on the glycemic index, this completely revised and updated A to Z guide offers in-depth entries for the top 100 foods with the lowest GI values. It includes comprehensive explanations of each food’s GI value and glycemic load (which is clearly explained), its carbohydrate, fiber and fat content, helpful nutritional information, and handy eating tips. Also included is an at-a-glance Low GI Food Finder as well as a comprehensive A to Z table of GI values.
