The Complete Glycemic Index & Glycemic Load Counters for 4000+ Foods: Your Essential Companion to Low-glycemic Diets

Stop Guessing What May Raise Your Blood Sugar Most glycemic index guides give you a number and leave you to interpret it on your own. This guide provides a more complete picture by bringing together glycemic index, glycemic load, carbohydrate content, and serving size. These measures help you compare foods more meaningfully instead of relying on GI alone, a common mistake that can lead to misleading food choices. The Complete Glycemic Index & Glycemic Load Counters for 4,000+ Foods is a comprehensive 420-page reference created for everyday decisions at the grocery store, in your kitchen, and at the table. Inside this comprehensive guide, you will find: The Complete Counter for 4,000+ Foods: Compare GI and GL values across fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, dairy products, prepared foods, beverages, and many other food categories. 1200+ Detailed Food Profiles: Explore GI, GL, net carbohydrates, and recommended serving sizes for commonly consumed foods. GI and GL Explained Clearly: Understand what each measure tells you, how they differ, and why both carbohydrate quality and quantity matter. The Portion-Size Factor: Learn how the amount eaten changes a food’s glycemic load and why a low-GI food does not necessarily have a low glycemic impact when consumed in a large portion. The 12 Principles of Low-Glycemic Eating: Apply straightforward principles developed through Dr. Maher’s extensive research and practical application. Practical Meal-Planning Strategies: Learn how to combine foods, select suitable portions, and build balanced meals with a lower overall glycemic impact. Guidance for Everyday Decisions: Use the counters when shopping, cooking, eating away from home, or planning meals for the week.
