Product Description
For example, fresh fruit seems like a healthier dessert than a Snickers candy bar, but, in fact, the GI score for apricots is 57, while a Snickers is only 55. This happens because the GI score is computed based on a serving of apricots that is over 7 times the size of the candy bar. When adjusted to the real-world serving size, the candy bar has a GL of 31, while the apricot’s GL value is only 4.
Using these more accurate and sensible GL scores, the Easy GL Diet Handbook offers a plan for healthy weight loss and reduced risk of diabetes that is easier to follow and includes numerous foods that the Atkins, South Beach and GI diets wrongly consider “off limits.”

Rating: 5 / 5
Is a small book very nice to put in your purse to follow the food list when you go to buy groceries or eat out. Don’t have a list of fast food just you need to do your best judge. Is explained very simple easy to understand the concept. You don’t need to measure anything just divide your plate and use your palm like a guide.

Please be aware of the word “handbook”. This “book” was small–about 5×7 size. In searching for a reference to assist me in recording in my food diary, I thought this would do so. The foods are listed in five columns–the “food”, the “GI value”, the “amount of food in grams containing 50 grams of carbohydrates”, then “carbohydrate per 100 grams of food” and then the “GL” column–not “one apple” or “1/3 c of rice”, etc. So it was not much help to me. Most text’s that I have viewed so far have GI/GL information for a food serving but it is very limited but this booklet’s listed servings were indescript and not adaptable to everyday life. The booklet itself was in great condition and it was promptly delivered.
