Very useful despite errors in recipes
This look is far more useful than the other For Dummies glycemic index book. Recipes are easy and delicious. However, there are some oversights, so you need to read the recipe carefully before using it (eg, asking you to preheat the oven, even though there's no baking involved, or surprising you with an ingredient on the ingredient list).

Love this book!
My doctor says I am "pre-diabetic" and recommended that I look into "healthier eating". Sounded yucky, but a little research led me to look into eating based upon glycemic index. I bought two books, but this one is by far my favorite. Lots of information, which you can read or skip. The recipes are wonderful. They are relatively simple and use foods that are easily obtainable. I could cook most of this stuff and feed it to my husband and he would never realize that's it anything but regular food.

missing more reffernce materials
the book is okay good easy to understand information wish it had audio for easier reading(listening). I really wanted part of the book to just contain a list of foods and their glycemic Index (dictionary format at least 20 pages full for reference).

Educational and Informative
If you're looking to make a lifestyle change and adopt a glycemic index-centric diet, this is the perfect starting point. The first chapters are loaded with facts, data and step by step processes to form a meal plan that meets dietary needs. Recipes are divided nicely and note all nutritional facts as well as where to watch out for hidden sugars within foods.

The book is easy to read with a minimum of medical terminology
The book is easy to read with a minimum of medical terminology. It explains the glycemic index in considerable detail and then addresses a variety of foods, including the provision of glycemic ratings. For anyone who is pre-diabetic or diabetic, this book is a valuable aid. The higher one's A1C number is, the more important the book becomes. Recipes are included but if the reader understands the index and the foods like sugar and wheat that are the greatest offenders, the reader can use any cookbook and choose the preferred low glycemic recipes. Other cookbooks may not show glycemic numbers but that isn't necessary if the reader knows how the index works. I personally have dramatically reduced the white bread, chips, and potatoes I consume and look forward to my next bloodwork.

Great Cookbook
I usually order cookbooks and when I receive them, I only find a couple of recipes that work for me. This cookbook is much better. I found lots of recipes that work for eating the Glycemic Index way. The Mexican Bake is wonderful. You can spice it up as much as you want. It is really good the next day. I would recommend this book for those of us who shouldn't eat carbs for a medical reason or just a nice cookbook with lots of variety for those who don't have a medical problem. This would also make a nice gift for the cookbook lover.
