Living the G.I. (Glycemic Index) Diet
by Rick Gallop
Easy To Follow And Delicious Meals
The easiest diet going is now even easier--and tastier. Off to an explosive
start, The G.I. Diet quickly landed on New York Times and Wall Street
Journal bestseller lists, and required five quick printings (for a total of
190,000 copies) to keep pace with demand after national publicity
discovered the Canadian miracle diet (Womans World). Now, continuing to
build on the nutritional wisdom of the glycemic index, Rick Gallop follows
up with the essential companion--a cookbook and strategy guide for living
the G.I. Diet.
Organized around the simple, intuitive principle of green-, yellow-, and red-
light foods--if you can follow a traffic light, you can follow this diet--Living
the G.I. Diet gets right into the kitchen with 135 dishes that are as easy to
prepare as they are unrecognizable as diet food. Grilled Pesto Salmon with

Asparagus. Beef and Eggplant Chili. Garlic Shrimp Pasta. Thai Chicken
Curry. Pork Tenderloin with Grainy Mustard and Chive Crust. Cinnamon
French Toast. Florentine Frittata. And desserts: Baked Chocolate Mousse,
Basmati Rice Pudding, Pecan Brownies--thats right, brownies.
In addition, the book spells out how to lose weight (Phase I) and maintain
weight loss (Phase II); how to make G.I. eating a family affair; navigating
holidays, restaurants, vacation eating; and exploring the psychological and
emotional aspects of food and food cravings--everything you need to stay
on this proven track.
Personal Review: Living the G.I. (Glycemic Index) Diet by Rick
Gallop
This is the second book in the G.I. Diet series from Rick Gallop, and his
best in my opinion. The guts of the first book is in here, along with over
100 green light recipes. The beauty of this diet is the ease in which things
are broken down. There are no calories to count, and it couldn't be any
more simple that eating foods from the green light column. It has portion
sizes for things that should be limited such as chicken, meat and nuts, and
gives you a graph about how food should be portioned on your plate.
Once you get that visual in your head the diet itself is easy to follow. And
in this case there really is truth in advertising. The glycemic index does
indeed make you feel full longer, and I've had more energy since being on
this diet. Now I know what a sugar crash was! I've been on the diet for 3
months now, and I've already lost 29 pounds. I owe that success to this
diet and exercise.
What makes this book so great are the recipes. It has gotten me to try
new foods, like chickpeas and tofu, that I never would have tried before.
Turns out they're great! There are a wide variety of foods covering
chinese, thai, and italian to name a few. Some of my favorite recipes are
the ginger garlic turkey burgers, and pecan brownies. There is also a
great recipe for chicken fried rice on the g.i. diet website.
