So what is a low Glycemic Load diet?
Glycemic Load is a measure the amount of sugar and starch in food and their impact on the body. A measure of Glycemic Load shows how much carbohydrate there is in each food and how fast the carbohydrate will break down into glucose (and therefore how quickly your blood sugar levels will rise).
Foods with a low Glycemic Load release their glucose more slowly so you maintain stable energy levels for longer. When you eat a low Glycemic Load diet:
• You will stop producing more glucose than you can use, so won’t gain fat.
• You won’t suffer from food cravings.
• Your body will be reprogrammed to burn fat rapidly.
• You will be able to lose weight and sustain your weight loss permanently.
There are three simple rules to follow
1. Eat no more than 40 GLs a day
2. Eat protein with carbohydrate
3. Graze don't gorge
By applying these three simple principles you will become a master of your blood sugar control, weight and cravings. My books show you exactly how to do this, with lots of delicious and easy to prepare recipes. Within a couple of days you'll instinctively know what is high or low GL in the supermarket and at restaurants. Within a month this simply becomes the way you eat. It is a diet for life with many health benefits beyond losing weight.
Here's what people say about the diet.....
“I used to be overweight and found it hard to be motivated in the morning. I lost 7 stone (45kgs) in 7 months, my mood has improved greatly and my blood pressure has returned to normal.” EW
“I lost 11kg (24lbs) in just over 12 weeks. And best of all, I've kept it off! Patrick is my hero!” LA
“I have lost 9 stone in 10 months. It's worked for me. My blood sugars, blood pressure, energy levels, sleeping patterns have all improved. I feel great. Can't really explain how much this has changed my life. Thank you.” RM
“This is the ultimate diet book. It is not just for losing weight, it is about changing your life. The claims in the book seem quite amazing but I can report that they are all true - lost 10lbs in 5 weeks, never felt hungry, I slept better, had more energy, my skin improved dramatically, I haven't put the weight back on and I still feel amazing.” AC
