Description for The GI Plan: Lose Weight Forever (Previously published as The Gi Point Diet)
Paperback. Everyone knows the benefits of focusing on the right carbs when dieting. However, it isn't always easy. This book helps you with a point-counting system to lose weight forever: the GI point system. The GI diet is not about avoiding foods, it's about balancing meals, and is designed to keep you full for longer so you don't feel you're on a diet. Num Pages: 400 pages. BIC Classification: VFMD. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 197 x 126 x 26. Weight in Grams: 314. Good copy with some minor shelf wear.
The glycaemic index (GI) is one of the hottest topics in weight loss today. Like Atkins, it's based on carbohydrates but unlike Atkins it's based on the quality of the carbs and allows much more flexibility for the dieter.
This book uses GI in a groundbreaking fashion: simply by adding up the GiP value of each food and keeping to an allocated number of GiPs a day, it's possible to lose weight quickly, effortlessly, enjoyably - and permanently. Unlike other diet books, this is not about avoiding foods - it's about eating what you want within healthy boundaries. Importantly, it's about balancing your meal - by eating certain foods together, you can ensure you get a healthy, delicious and low-GI meal - and lose those kilos.

Reviews for The GI Plan: Lose Weight Forever (Previously published as The Gi Point Diet)
GI is fast becoming a well-known name in weight loss, and if there's one diet likely to knock Atkins off the No 1 diet spot, it's this one
Now
a flexible, realistic and forgiving approach to dieting. It is not about avoiding foods, but simply eating what you like within healthy boundaries - and it even allows for those occasional naughty bites and moments when you really need comfort food. Inspirational and encouraging, it not only provides the motivation you need to stick to this diet, but also transforms your entire relationship with food

It looks as if GI-madness is on the way. GI-speak will soon be as common as carb-speak is now
