This is a confusing, contradictory, disjointed book with a very limited list of low GI foods at the end of the book. The first "red flag" was in the preface when it said, "This book has been written to be read alongside The Glucose Revolution, so in the event you haven't already consulted that book, please be sure to do so, for a more comprehensive discussion..." On page 25 it states, "Calorie-laden foods...such as alcohol, chocolate, potato chips and candy, provide few nutients.....they are best limited to no more than one or two servings per day." On page 37 it states, "Eat low carbohydrate foods such as carrots, broccoli and salads freely, but don't eat them instead of the high carbohydrate foods." This book is very hard to follow. In my opinion, the book seems to be thrown together just to get it out on the market quickly.I am very disappointed in the Reader's Digest for recommending this book.
