Review Summary: Menopause and getting fatter?
Review: If you want to lose weight and enjoy your food, this book will give you a head start. The recipes are really healthy...and although living in Spain, I have difficulty in getting some of the ingredients, it is easy to substitute with other low GI foods. My husband and I decided we had to change our diet but love fruit and vegetables. I tried a few of the recipes in this book and we are hooked. It helps to plan your recipes for the week, then , when you are hungry, you don't have to make a decision which may lead to buying a quick fix food!

Review Summary: Best one I've seen
Review: I've seen a few low GI diet books, and this is by far the best one I've seen, more varied recipes and plenty of literature as regards the GI diet! Recommended book for anyone considering low GI diet!

Review Summary: A healthy cook book which inspires you!
Review: Bought a few books recently as my daughter has been advised to follow a low GI diet for polycystic ovaries. This is by far the best - the recipes we have tried have been great and we feel inspired to try more. The fabulous illustrations help, the ingredients are easy to find and the recipes themselves are not too daunting. I would definitely recommend this one.

Review Summary: A Cranks Cookbook
Review: I am already within my BMI but have decided to lose 10lb or so and get a bit fitter, so I haven't got mountains of weight to lose and already eat a sensible diet.
This book is full of gorgeous looking recipes all 'calorie counted' with beautiful pictures that really make you want to try them. But this book reads a lot like the Cranks whole foods recipe book except with some meat dishes thrown in. So if you're not up for bulgur wheat, chick peas lentils and sesame, pumpkin and sunflower seeds this may not be your kind of book.
Also the calorie counts seem to be optimistically low in places and the portions I find are too small for your average person. Bread portions seem to be particularly mean - they appear to be a slice from a loaf about the size of a ciabatta or a large baguette (so you would perhaps need to up the calorie estimate to include a normal sized slice of bread - or horror of horrors - 2 slices of bread!)
I think I am going to be hard pushed to stay within a 1500 calorie limit, including milk allowance, with this book. Also I know that the snacks recommended of nuts and seeds might be low GI but are very high calorie and are hard to fit into a calorie controlled diet (2oz mixed nuts is 340 calories.)
The recommended seven fruits and vegetables to eat every day gave me stomach ache and is undoubtedly excessive.
Perhaps not a wonderful weight loss diet unless you are very overweight; more of a healthy /wholefood recipe book but still a good tool as part of your overall GI diet plan.
If 2000 calories a day will lose you weight or just looking to eat more wholefoods, then this could be just what you've been looking for... or you could just dig out your Cranks!
