This is truely the best of all the Weight Watcher cookbooks that I have seen.I have four others and use this one more than the others combined.It asks for standard ingrediants that you probably have on hand so it is easy to use.

Editorial Review

Forget the high-carb, low-carb debate. The glycemic index (GI)--a measure of carbohydrate quality based on how quickly a food raises blood-glucose (blood sugar) levels--is the dietary key to health, say the authors. Contrary to other diets that treat carbohydrates as all alike, Read more

This is one of the most important nutrition books of our time and has spawned thousands of other nutrition books. Over 3,000 other books have been written about this topic. Eating foods with a low glycemic impact has been a cornerstone of my own eating style.

5-0 out of 5 stars Guidlines Not a Formula
This book shed a lot of light on why I was not succeding in my weight loss goals.I had already given up almost all sugar and all artifical sweetners, eating mostly whole grains, and had been doing a 45-60 min cardio workout 3 times a week and getting no where in the 50 lbs I need to lose.In the past I had a lot of success following Atkins, but felt that it was unhealthy and it left me feeling sluggish and miserable.I stopped Atkins and started the daily losing battle with my weight. After three weeks of following the basic principals I have had successful weight changes for the first time in a long time.

Editorial Review

From her work with insulin-resistant patients with Type II diabetes, Dr. Schwarzbein concludes that low-fat diets cause heart attacks, eating fat makes you lose body fat, and it's important to eat high-cholesterol foods every day. Picture cardiologists and dieticians tearing their hair out and overweight people cheering as they dive into Eggs Benedict with sausage. Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Don't Wait To Feel Fantastic! Buy This Book NOW!
I am in my late 30s, and I have a hormonal imbalance, coupled with insulin resistance caused by poor dietary habits. Unfortunately, after years of seeing physician after physician, my condition had to be essentially self-diagnosed since all of the blood tests always came back 'normal'.
5-0 out of 5 stars back to normal.......It does work!!!!
If I could give 10 stars I would, I just love this book the concept of this book and what this principle did to my body and my health!
5-0 out of 5 stars Not a diet - a way to eat for the rest of your (healthy!) life!
This book changed my life. It was given to me free when I bought some vitamins, and I am so glad it fell in my hands! All the things Dr. Schwartzbein says have made sense to me for a long time - I never did jump on the low fat bandwagon and knew that natural was always better than man-made (butter vs. margarine). What I didn't know was WHY I felt so bad when I ate sugar or how harmful damaged fats were. Just cutting out damaged fats alone has caused my chronic stomach aches to cease! I will follow this plan for the rest of my life, and encourage everyone I know to do so, too! ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Not just for weight loss.
The book does address weight loss throughout, however it also does a good job of educating the reader in how to balance and maintain pH balance in the body.There is a short chapter educating the reader on blood including slides of blood viewed by a microscope before and after the body is alkaline.If that doesn't convince us to embrace pH balance in the body then the slides of blood after being on the most popular diets will.The book details how different brands of bottled and munincipal water affect body pH. It expounds on the value of fat in the diet.A short chapter indicates optimum foods to eat followed by another short chapter on fitness. The supplements chapter is very well done and supports what I have learned after many years of informal study. There are nice encapsulations throughout the book and nicely done in Chapter 11 "Take Seven: Steps to Your Ideal Weight" pages 190 - 211.

5-0 out of 5 stars FAST WEIGHT LOSS...
My husband and I both followed the Master Cleanse with great results. He lost 11 lbs and I lost 16 lbs in 10 days! This is coming from two people who aren't over weight or have any health problems. After a while we both grew very tired of the lemonade and this eventually lead to the completion of the program. Over all a good challenge to resist food for 10 days and feel/look great after. This book is a great buy...if you have 10 days and want fast results, this is a program for you. Good luck...

5-0 out of 5 stars JUST DO IT!!!!!
I just wrote a great, long review for this book and tragically, in the editing process it suddenly disappeared from my screen!!!So here's the short version:The book is VERY helpful.Get it.I just did the cleanse.It's GREAT.You can do it, too!One tip that's not in the book: for the sake of your tooth enamel, rinse your teeth after drinking the lemonade.Want to feel and look better fast?Do yourself a favor and give this book and cleanse a try.

4-0 out of 5 stars Lose Weight, Have More Energy & Be Happier in 10 Days, Second Edition
I can't deny the benefits of this diet.The book is a quick read, provides basic instructions with simple explanations for each portion of the diet and is very specific about which products you need.The diet on the other hand, is 10 days of drinking things that taste terrible (especially the 32 oz. of salt water each morning - good luck with that one) and about 80 trips to the can every day.I recommend taking the week off or working from home unless you have a private facility for yourself at your place of employment. ...

4-0 out of 5 stars Great for Motivation!
Ok...so most people who know me know I have a slight obsession with this show....and I was surprised to note when I was getting the synopsis for this post, one reviewer didn't think that the diet was covered adequately...and in some respects I agree...because the diets for each person on the show is individualized with the help of a dietitian...so they can't really say *all* of the contestants did X, Y & Z and had X results.What the book does give you are some parameters as to what the best choices are and instructs you to go out with that information and make choices based on your own personal preferences and staying within the caloric guidelines.Since I've already begun my own "healthy living" adventure, I already had some firm ideas on what I wanted to do and I found that the book complimented what I already had planned and allowed me to expand the scope a bit.The version of the food pyramid printed in this book is surely more in line with what I think is proper and realistic, so it gets big kudos from me in that respect.The exercise program was brief in my opinion...but again, these were tailored to the specific contestants by professional trainers and they certainly don't' want t-o give away all their secrets either...but the info is good and I suspect you can get more out of it if your willing to buy the exercise DVD that goes with it (I'm renting from Netflix first...to see if it's worth spending the dollars on first).The bulk of the book was personal snippets about the contestants (which I could have lived without...but perhaps necessary for those who didn't watch the show, but are curious about it).There is a selection of recipes at the end which there are about 7-10 that I will try...they all look quite good and are not bad with the fat and calories...so for the price I paid for this book (12.89) I'd say it was definitely worth it...but for those looking for a set in stone, do X, Y & Z diet and exercise plan...this is not going to make you happy, you may want to look elsewhere.

5-0 out of 5 stars Far more than your usual weight loss title
The Biggest Loser: The Weight-Loss Program To Transform Your Body, Health And Life (1594863849, $18.95) comes from the Biggest Loser Experts, cast, and Maggie Greenwood-Robinson, Ph.D. and provides the popular NBC-TV show's insights on how overweight contestants teamed with celebrity trainers to shape up. Millions have seen the changes and show: in book form you'll have easier access to the plans designed by the show's medical experts, along with recipes, to make the most of the trainer tips. A 12-week fat-blasting program pairs with tips and motivators along with participant insights and experiences making for far more than your usual weight loss title.
5-0 out of 5 stars Perfect for motivation and inspiration!
Overall, this is a very good book especially for "fans" of the show. I watch it only from time to time so I am not its "fan". The most valuable part of this book is the superior motivation and inspiration it will definitely provide you. It is really amazing to read about the results of actually morbidly obese men and women who ACHIEVED their desired weight. I have the feeling that obese people tend to get disappointed and discouraged rather fast. That's why the book will be of great help, if you face such issues.

4-0 out of 5 stars This is better than most of the other Glycemic Index books I have read.
This book covers more information than other books that I have reviewed on this topic. There is a lot of advertising for the Glycemic Level way of eating, but the topic seems to still be lacking in information.The Complete Idiot's Guide offers more comprehensive information including a longer list of foods with with the Glycemic Index levels. This is the first book I have read that shows the formula for figuring the index yourself.

5-0 out of 5 stars Everyone should have this book!
My Boss bought me this book when I was diagnosed with Adult II Diabetes.This book is more precious to me than a raise!I love the way the author composed the book...humor, honesty, great recipes and tips.Highly recommended for any person who wants to live a healthy life style.I have lost 15 lbs and my husband has lost 20.We both want to lose 30 lbs each.If you follow the suggestions in the book you will lose the weight.No matter if it is 30, 50 or 100 lbs...the glycemic works.The book encouraged me to find a good cookbook for glycemic recipes and I found a great one here at Amazon.com.
5-0 out of 5 stars BUY THIS ONE FIRST!
I was diagnosed with Insulin Resistance about a year ago, and while doing my research, I recently discovered the GI Diet and I have to say this book is wonderful at explaining all the terms and giving me the basics, so that I can finally lose weight.I am currently involved in Weight Watchers and kept gaining weight each week.With this diet, I am LOSING and it feels wonderful.WW is great for support and encouragement, so I am using it together with the Glycemic Diet.This book has helped me tremendously and it is very easy to read and understand.Some of the GI books were way too technical.Thank you for this book. ...

2-0 out of 5 stars Disappointed
I mostly wanted to be able to look up regular food made at home (i.e.biscuits, macaroni and cheese). I resorted to trying to think of a company thatmakes that food, so I could look up a brand name, but this didn't always work. The Quick Guide sometimes helped in finding these general foods, but not always.

3-0 out of 5 stars TOO COMPLICATED
WAY TOO COMPLICATED DIET TO FOLLOW
5-0 out of 5 stars common sense or not?
I lost 5lbs the first 2 weeks. I regularly eat very heathy, but need to exercise more(or at all), so i was suprised that i lost the 5lbs just from eating a little healthier and have managed to keep it off. I think it is a good book if you are interested in learning better eating habbits, if you eat poorly. Alot of it is common sense about portion size and eating the right foods for your body to function properly. I don't think you need all the suppliments that she wants you to take, a good multivitamin doesn't hurt though. I didn't follow through after the two weeks because of my schedule, but i do plan to give the rest of it a shot. I think if you need something to jump start you to eat healthy and get rid of all the junk you eat than this is a good way to go. If you really like your junk food than this book is not for you.

EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR.VERY INFORMATIVE AND EASY TO UNDERSTAND

4-0 out of 5 stars More U.S. Products
Readers frustrated by the lack of information on common U.S. -based foods in some earlier editions will be pleased with this updated listing. Mostly generalized foods ("graham crackers, plain") and some U.S. brand names ("Snickers bar, regular") are included with glycemic index, common serving size, available carboyhdrate (carbs-fiber) per serving, and glycemic load per serving.
1-0 out of 5 stars Of little value
I bought this book with "The new Glucose Revolution: Low GI Guide to Diabetes." Compared with the other book, getting this one was superfluous as both books contain essentially the same information (I don't know if this is the case for all books of the series).The guts of both books consists of a table of GI values, total carbs and GL per serving.This table is preceded by a short introduction and discussion, and then followed by another table of food classes with individual items ranked by low, medium and high GI values.Both books have these features, but I did notice some differences in GI values given for the same food item between both books.Why is this?Was there originally an error made in one book and corrected in this one (this book was published later)?

5-0 out of 5 stars this does work!
I was feeling a little lost when I started this diet. I have done them all: Atkins, Thurmond, Weight Watchers, and so on. You get the picture. They all work, but with the exception of Weight Watchers, they all got boring or were intolerable. How long can one go without one's favorite foods? Also, at middle age and female I found it harder to shed the pounds, even with my 5 days of cardio. I started this diet about 8 weeks ago and I really like it. I have lost 16 pounds and still loosing. Moreover, because you eat every three hours I don't find that I am hungry. The best part is I can still incoporate my favorite foods on this plan. I really find this one doable. The best part is I find myself in situations where I eat out a lot. With this plan, that too, can be done. The only area for improvement, at least for me, is he does not stress the exercise aspect in the book or indicates only 8 minutes will do. I do much more than 8 minutes daily, which I believe is necessary for weight loss and good health. However, overall, I really like this way of eating and will continue to do so once I reach my goal.

5-0 out of 5 stars Way of Life... Not another Diet
If you are looking for a way of life instead of another diet, I suggest you read this book.Since being on the program 6 weeks, I am down 16 lbs.I eat every 3 hours, which includes 3 balanced meals, 2 snacks (I suggest the 3 Hour Diet Bars), and a treat.I find I don't have the lose of energy half way through my day and feel much, much better.Because I am never starving, I can easily walk past temptations without giving it a second thought.I perfer an apple over a brownie these days!This from a former junk food junkie!!! ...

5-0 out of 5 stars More recipe ideas for the guy on the go
This latest book in the Abs Diet franchise is essentially another recipe book. As the title indicates, these are quickie recipes that can be made in minutes, though they throw in a few more involved meals at the end. Be clear, these are tasty and healthful recipes aimed at the fitness-oriented individual. You don't have to necessarily be following the Abs Diet plan per se, but anyone who has adopted a weightlifting + aerobics exercise program with a high-protein, controlled-carb and controlled-fat diet will find this book has what you're looking for, especially if you want meals you can make quickly and stick into a tupperware container to eat throughout the day.
4-0 out of 5 stars Not Bad at All
Handy book with lots of recipes that keep you on the Abs Diet. Very useful and straightforward. Could be a little better organized, but overall it's a great tool for shedding body fat.

5-0 out of 5 stars The Lastest Companion for a Great Book - Helped me lost more than 200 lbs in a Healthy Way
This is the perfect companion for the "The Abs Diet: The Six-Week Plan to Flatten Your Stomach and Keep You Lean for Life" Book, and "The ABS Diet Eat right Everytime Guide". Buy this book only if you at least have read the first "ABS Diet" Book.

5-0 out of 5 stars Not another diet book.
This is an excellent book that deals with the reasons why people overeat, not just another diet. Most people do not overeat because they're hungry. This book actually teaches people what hunger feels like again. It also incorporates good nutrition and increased activity.

5-0 out of 5 stars I'm Losing Weight and I'm Not On A Diet!
I would give this book 10 stars if I could! I had done every diet known to man, and I lost weight, but I kept putting it back on.I realized that "diets" don't work for me.I had completly given up any hope for attaining a lean figure. How could I live without Starbucks Mocha Chip ice cream in my life?Then I read "Am I Hungry" and my life is turned around!Michelle's easy step-by-step methods have taught me how to understand my hunger and eating cycles, and also how to give my body what it needs and wants.I have lost 16 pounds in a few short months and I get to eat ice cream, too!All I need to ask myself is "Am I Hungry?".

5-0 out of 5 stars Hope for Overeaters!
This book has changed how I look at food! The hands-on, practical strategies presented in this book make sense and are definitely attainable. Each chapter is broken into sections that help develop intuitive, intentional, instinctive eating skills; teach us how to learn to move our bodies again; and how to make healthyfood choices, empowered with a knowledge base of what we really need to fuel our bodies! This is a powerful program, no shame or guilt and all food fits! So take charge of your life and your health, you can do it! I also highly recommend the seminars! ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars A sound, commonsense guide to massive energy increases and weight loss
This is just an excellent book.I have an older copy and it starts off with a full chapter of testimonies from happy customers.The author defends herself and the diet vigorously which surprised me -everyone I know who has followed it says it works miracles.
2-0 out of 5 stars Not quite what I had hoped
This was not what I was really looking for, as the title of this review may have suggested. I did learn a few things, and the diet itself looks interesting, though I have not tried it. But to me, the book was more self-promoting than educational. I was hoping for more facts, supported by statistics, and studies, rather it was if the author was trying to show her colleagues that her ideas were valid. They may be, I am not in any position to argue, but I was hoping for more information on the liver itself, and the possible disorders. I found only one paragraph with my condition discussed.
3-0 out of 5 stars Not good for people with digestive troubles!
Unless your diet is presently terrible, this book probably won't help you if you have candida, celiac disease, crohn's, ulcerative colitis, IBD, or IBS. Cabot limits meats and encourages non-gluten grains. Those of us with many kinds of digestive disorders cannot digest starches and disacharides (double sugars). I followed the Liver Cleansing Diet strictly for three weeks, but the inclusion of grains, sweet potatoes, corn, and soy made my symptoms worse than they had been before I started her diet. My bloating became so bad on this diet that I looked six months pregnant and getting worse. I eliminated soy and corn but to no avail. I then switched to Elaine Gottshall's Carbohydrate Specific Diet (Breaking the Vicious Cycle) and started feeling better within two days. My belly is board flat now, my skin looks better, my mood is good, and digestion feels so much better - after only one week! I wish I had found Gottshall years ago.

5-0 out of 5 stars The Bible for Weight Loss Surgery Patients
This book is amazing.If you have had recent weight loss surgery or if you are thinking about having it, you must read this book.Paula outlines everything you could ever imagine and answers the questions that we all have about weight loss surgery. After reading this book there is no doubt in my mind that I am going to have the weight loss surgery.In the book Paula gave me the courage to want a better and new life for myself.

5-0 out of 5 stars This book was a life saver for me
Being aware that my surgery would be life altering, I was nervous about how to proceed with the rest of my life post-operation. Paula Peck's book was written with such care, concern and intelligence that upon turning the final page I realized my anxiety had completely left me and that I literally held a blue-print for success in my hands. Thank goodness for Paula's sensitivity, charm and wit. This is a honest guide to living and coping after weight-loss surgery - and who knew? A funny one too! Kudos for this book.

5-0 out of 5 stars A pre-operation necessity.
I could not put Exodus from Obesity down.I highlighted it and even felt compelled to email Paula Peck, the author.

5-0 out of 5 stars You've got to read this book!
I received this book as a gift. There are quite a few books on this subject on the market and this one is the best. I too could not put it down and finished it in 3 days. It's a huge book, a great resource that is well researched and written.. I have a few friends who've purchased this book and really loved it too. I can highly recommend this book.
2-0 out of 5 stars No comfort food recipes
I was very disappointed that this cookbook didn't have more comfort food recipes.It used ingredients that you wouldn't normally have on hand.I was looking for recipes for meatloaf, mac & cheese.I won't buy another cookbook that I can't review first.

5-0 out of 5 stars Pleasantly surprised
As someone who doesn't like to spend hours in the kitchen...and who is also a new Weight Watchers member...I can say that this is of great benefit to me.The recipes that I've tried have been quick and non-complicated with good flavor.The ingredients are all easily obtained at your local stores...no hunting for "exotic" spices or anything.I'm glad I got it. ...
