About this ebook

Told to "watch your carbs" or "eat low GI," then handed a list of numbers that raises more questions than it answers? Is brown rice good or bad? Why is watermelon on the high list? Do calories still count? This guide turns the glycemic index and glycemic load into everyday meals you can actually cook.

It is honest about what low GI can do. In the trials, low-GI plans gave a small extra loss, and they help most by keeping meals more filling and blood sugar steadier. Every number comes from the University of Sydney GI database and the 2021 international tables, and every claim is backed by the studies listed in the References.


Inside the guide:


- GI and GL made clear: one simple band rule, a 40-food quick reference table and how to estimate GL from a label


- What the research shows: weight loss, prediabetes, type 2 diabetes and PCOS, compared with low carb and keto


- Safety first: a chapter on diabetes and GLP-1 medicines, low blood sugar, pregnancy, kidney disease and warning signs that need a doctor


- A 4-step low-GI plate: build meals without weighing every bite


- Everyday swaps: rice, pasta, bread, potatoes, cereal and fruit


- A full 7-day meal plan at about 1,550 to 1,650 kcal a day with a shopping list


- 30 recipes with calories, protein, carbs, fiber, fat and sodium per serving


- Real life: eating out, family dinners, budget shopping, tracking and getting past a plateau


No fasting and no skipped meals: three meals a day and one or two snacks, at a pace you can live with. This guide does not replace your doctor; if you take medicine for diabetes, read Chapter 3 first.
