A Pocket Guide to The Glucose Revolution.
'The G.I. Factor Top 100 Low G.I. Foods' provides an A - Z guide to the lowest G.I. rated foods available in every supermarket or grocery store. Each entry contains a carbohydrate, fat and fibre content, together with information about the particular foodstuff and often intriguing explanations of why it earned its low G.I. rating.
For the uninitiated, the book's introduction explains how carbohydrates are absorbed in the body, and how the glycaemic index rates foods as low, medium or high according to the rate they are converted to sugars or glucose. Low G.I. foods are converted slowly, keeping your blood sugar levels stabilised and your appetite sated. Small enough to carry in a purse, pocket or bag, the pocket guide is great to take along when doing the grocery shopping. A truly invaluable source of information for all those concerned with the best ways of managing their health.
