The New Glucose Revolution Low GI Vegetarian Cookbook: 80 Delicious Vegetarian and Vegan Recipes Made Easy with the Glycemic Index

Let me preface the following by stating that I've never been a "dieter", I've always just tried to eat as healthy as I can. And, as a life-long vegetarian I'd never really been able to participate in most fad-diets anyway (I need my carbs!). But, I'd noticed over the past year that even though I work out pretty consistently, my metabolism was changing and I had dramatic drops in blood sugar that left me feeling tired, light headed and nauseous a lot. I read an article about the low GI diet in one of my fitness mags, and it sounded like something I could actually try as a vegetarian. My husband read the same article and felt it was something he could do without eating "diet" foods. I first bought the "new glucose revolution book" and read it cover to cover. After trying a few recipes in there, I wanted to expand my collection. This particular book is great because it explains the science behind it and also has a bunch of recipes and GI values for most foods. I've found that after doing it for 2 full months, I can pretty much make foods without recipes just by being able to judge whether it's a high or low-GI food. My favorites include the asian stir-fry, black bean soup, and whole-wheat pizza. I would definitely recommend this book - and lifestyle - for anyone who is just trying to be, feel, and look more healthy overall without typical diet constraints.

This book has given us lots of information on managing glucose levels (be sure to read all the introductory materials on nutrition) as well as some delicious recipes. We've also used many of them as starting points to venture out into being creative with new foods and ideas (who knew a Shepherd's Pie with lentils and sweet potatoes would be so excellent?!)

This cookbook is the best! I've made 6-7 recipes from the cookbook already and all of them have been delicious. Also, I lost about 5 lbs. the first week following low-GI and most importantly I'm not hungry. Also, I've noticed that I have more energy.

I have been looking for a Vegetarian cookbook with low calorie, whole food, blood sugar considerant recipes forever! This is perfect!!! Excellent recipes!!!!
