The Low GI Handbook
Glucose Revolution

Perfect for you if...

You're managing diabetes or prediabetes and want practical, straightforward reference data rather than diet ideology.
You've tried calorie counting or standard GI charts and found them incomplete or confusing without portion context.
You want to make smarter food choices at the supermarket and know exactly how different foods will affect your blood sugar.

Maybe not for you if...

You're looking for recipes, meal plans, or motivational content—this is a reference book, not a lifestyle manual.
You prefer narrative explanation and scientific deep-dives over quick lookup tables.
You're not interested in tracking glucose response or managing your diet through numerical values.

About this book

The Glycemic Load Counter provides a practical guide to using Glycemic Index (GI) and Glycemic Load (GL) values to manage blood sugar, control diabetes, and support weight loss. GL values offer a more accurate measure of how foods affect the body by adjusting GI scores for portion size. For instance, an orange has a higher GI value (42) than a candy bar (41), but when adjusted for typical serving sizes, the orange has a low GL value of 4 compared to the candy bar's high GL value of 26. The book contains GI, GL, calories, carbohydrates, and fat information for over 800 popular foods. It features user-friendly design with straightforward alphabetical lists, pre-converted serving sizes with GL scores, and guidance on how different food categories—including meats, vegetables, breads, and fruits—affect glycemic response.
