Organized around the simple, intuitive principle of green-, yellow-, and red-light foods--if you can follow a traffic light, you can follow this diet--Living the G.I. Diet gets right into the kitchen with 135 dishes that are as easy to prepare as they are unrecognizable as diet food. Grilled Pesto Salmon with Asparagus. Beef and Eggplant Chili. Garlic Shrimp Pasta. Thai Chicken Curry. Pork Tenderloin with Grainy Mustard and Chive Crust. Cinnamon French Toast. Florentine Frittata. And desserts: Baked Chocolate Mousse, Basmati Rice Pudding, Pecan Brownies--thats right, brownies.
In addition, the book spells out how to lose weight (Phase I) and maintain weight loss (Phase II); how to make G.I. eating a family affair; navigating holidays, restaurants, vacation eating; and exploring the psychological and emotional aspects of food and food cravings--everything you need to stay on this proven track.
Easy to follow and delicious meals
This is the second book in the G.I. Diet series from Rick Gallop, and his best in my opinion. The guts of the first book is in here, along with over 100 green light recipes. The beauty of this diet is the ease in which things are broken down. There are no calories to count, and it couldn't be any more simple that eating foods from the green light column. It has portion sizes for things that should be limited such as chicken, meat and nuts, and gives you a graph about how food should be portioned on your plate. Once you get that visual in your head the diet itself is easy to follow. And in this case there really is truth in advertising. The glycemic index does indeed make you feel full longer, and I've had more energy since being on this diet. Now I know what a sugar crash was! I've been on the diet for 3 months now, and I've already lost 29 pounds. I owe that success to this diet and exercise.
What makes this book so great are the recipes. It has gotten me to try new foods, like chickpeas and tofu, that I never would have tried before. Turns out they're great! There are a wide variety of foods covering chinese, thai, and italian to name a few. Some of my favorite recipes are the ginger garlic turkey burgers, and pecan brownies. There is also a great recipe for chicken fried rice on the g.i. diet website.
