THE WORLD'S FIRST GLYCEMIC INDEX & LOAD GUIDE
Ignorance is a one of the major curses
mankind has always had to live with. The effective control of blood glucose
levels has always been unsatisfactory and thankfully contemporary scientific
research has discovered a method, in the form of the Glycemic Index (GI) and
Glycemic Load (GL), to assist greatly in the dietary control of blood
glucose levels. The purpose of this guide is to address this ignorance factor
regarding blood glucose, which when uncontrolled, can result in major lifestyle
diseases such as overweight, diabetes, high blood pressure and all
the heart related diseases. As a consumer of food products, you need to be
informed of the qualities of the food you eat and how it may affect your blood
glucose response and over the long term, your health.
The authors, who are also responsible
for the very popular “Eating for Sustained Energy” recipe book, have done an
excellent job in making this guide extremely practical, so that anyone
will be able to use it. An introductory section explains the GI & GL
concepts in layman’s language, and includes practical tips on how to make the
GI & GL work for you. The GI, GL, fat, fibre, protein and energy value of
the different food products is listed in various ways that would make it easy
for you to do meal planning and shopping. It is invaluable as a reference guide
for any heath professional or enthusiast. We can confidently state that the GI
& GL Guide is as comprehensive as it can be at this stage although
several products, which we are aware of, still need to be tested and included
in the lists. We have made it our responsibility to update it on an annual
basis.
