The G.I. Diet Guide to Shopping and Eating Out, Revised

Why was this a #1 bestseller in Canada in 2002? Because it is an easy-to-follow, easy-to-stick-to, truly healthy approach to eating that is based on the Glycemic Index, the original science behind The Zone Diet, but eliminates that diet's complexity and tendency to leave dieters wanting more. If you can understand a traffic light, you can understand this diet--and lose weight permanently without feeling hungry, counting calories, or jeopardizing your health. If a food is in the green column, eat it. If it's in the red column, avoid it. And if it's in the yellow column, proceed with caution. Take bread, for example. White bread, with its high G.I. number, is red-because it's so highly processed the body digests it quickly, resulting in a spike in blood sugar, a release of insulin, potential storage as fat, and a quick return of the hungry feeling. Low-G.I. 100% stone-ground whole-wheat bread is green-the body takes a while to digest it, with no spike in blood sugar and a much longer feeling of satiety. Green, yellow, red: It's all here, with a full explanation of how the diet works, plus ratings for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, eating out or eating in. Includes some recipes, snack ideas, a shopping list, and tips on dining out.

The G.I. Diet: The Easy, Healthy Way to Permanent Weight Loss

This latest addition to the bestselling G.I. Diet series offers individualized weight-loss strategies for every member of the family. When Rick Gallop published The G.I. Diet in 2002, its easy, healthy and effective approach ensured its phenomenal success in Canada and around the world. Not surprisingly, Rick has received a flood of emails from people thrilled with their new trim selves. Along with their gratitude and praise have been questions: “How can I avoid cooking two different meals for myself and my family?” “Is it okay for my teen to go on the G.I. Diet?” “Can I follow this plan while breastfeeding?” “My 82-year-old mother needs to lose weight — does the BMI table apply to her?” Everyone cares about their family’s health. But no two people have the same body chemistry, nutritional needs and eating habits. So how do you prepare healthy meals for your family without becoming a short-order cook? How do you get your spouse to follow the G.I. Diet? How do you help your overweight child? What if you’re pregnant? For The Family G.I. Diet, Rick has teamed up with his wife, Dr. Ruth Gallop, to address all of these questions and more. Whether your family members have a weight problem or not, this book’s sound nutritional advice, practical tips and fifty new green-light recipes will go a long way to improving their health and well-being. Here’s what readers had to say about The G.I. Diet: "I started the G.I. Diet at the beginning of March 2004. . .It is now four months later and I’m 25 pounds lighter. I feel stronger, have more energy and am fitting into clothes that haven’t fit in ages!" —Alicia "After many different attempts at losing weight, I’ve finally found success with the G.I. Diet!. . .The pounds and inches melt away." —Jan "I started living the G.I. Diet three months ago and have shed 43 pounds and 6 inches off my waistline. . .I’ve made up my mind to eat like this for the rest of my life." —Ray "My husband is down 40 pounds and I’m down 20 pounds! The G.I. Diet rocks!! We’re never hungry, we can’t believe the gradual and constant weight loss, and we can’t believe that we can eat out, travel, celebrate special events and still, albeit sometimes partially, stick to the regime and keep the weight off." —Joann "As a teenager I know that dieting is a big thing for a lot of us.

I can’t begin to express how valuable the G.I. Diet has been to making this happen." —Derek "The G.I. Diet is the easiest weight loss program I have ever been on — and I’ve been on plenty. I want to eat like this for the rest of my life. —Marylou

Special Diet

Revised and Updated with 40 New Recipes For years we’ve been told that a low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet is the way to lose weight and stay trim. But anyone who has diligently followed that regimen knows that it doesn’t work. Rick Gallop, former president of the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario, tried it, along with countless other diets, and ended up back where he started: twenty pounds overweight. Frustrated, he set out to find a diet that was healthy and that would actually work. When he came across the Glycemic Index, or G.I., he realized he’d found the magic bullet. Developed by Dr. David Jenkins, a professor of nutrition at the University of Toronto, the G.I. measures the speed at which your body breaks down food and converts it to glucose, which is used for energy or stored as fat. When losing weight, it is critical to avoid foods that have a high G.I., because they are digested too quickly by your body. With Rick Gallop’s G.I. Diet you won’t have to calculate the glycemic ratings and calories because he has done that for you, by listing foods in one of three categories: foods to avoid, foods to eat occasionally, and foods that you can eat as much of as you want. With recipes, snack ideas, a pull-out shopping list, tips on dining out and strategies for maintaining your new weight, you’ll never have to pick up another diet book! Here’s what readers had to say about The G.I. Diet: “Wow! It has been seven months since I started the diet and I have lost 72 pounds! What a great feeling! I can go shopping again and not be embarrassed about the size I buy…It is such a new way to live and I love it. So many people have commented on the way I look. My husband is so happy about the results, he has started on the program.” —Catherine “I have been overweight all my life…. I peaked at 302 pounds and came to the conclusion that I was a food addict and that trying to lose weight was hopeless, having tried and failed with every other plan out there — or so I thought! Thank God, a very dear friend of mine found the G.I. Diet. Seven weeks later I weigh 273 pounds and have never felt so good…I KNOW I am going to get down to a healthy body weight for the first time in my life.” —Sarah “I have had much success with the G.I. Diet. Last week I bought some trousers with a 34-inch waist — the first of that size that I have been able to wear since I was 27 years old, thirty-three years ago… The weight loss rate has been phenomenal. This is the first simple intelligent diet that I have ever seen.” —Mike “My husband is down 40 pounds and I’m down 20! The G.I. Diet rocks!! We’re never hungry, we can’t believe the gradual and constant weight loss, and we can’t believe that we can eat out, travel, celebrate special events and still, albeit sometimes partially, stick to the regime and keep the weight off.” —Joann “I lost 85 pounds in 22 weeks…There is certainly no more rewarding personal journey than transforming your body into what you always wanted it to be. I can’t begin to express how valuable the G.I. Diet has been to making this happen.” —Derek “I started living the G.I. Diet three months ago and have shed 43 pounds and 6 inches off my waistline... I used to be a junk food addict but now even the smell of junk food turns my stomach… This diet was literally a life saver.” —Ray “The G.I. Diet is the easiest weight loss program I have ever been on — and I’ve been on plenty. I want to eat like this for the rest of my life.” —Marylou

Diet has helped millions of people all over the world lose weight and keep it off. Still, many people frustrated by their yo-yo dieting experiences think a healthy lifestyle is difficult to attain. And who can blame them when most diets are too complex and leave you feeling deprived and hungry? On a mission to turn losing weight into a positive experience, Rick Gallop recruited volunteers with a body mass index of 33 or over–in other words, the hard cases–to participate in an e-clinic he would run from his website. For 13 weeks he introduced them to the basics of the G.I. Diet, answered their questions, taught them how to shop, cook and eat out, coached them through the hurdles and helped them develop strategies for dealing with cravings and the emotional reasons why we eat. In return, participants shared their stories, their feelings, their stumbling blocks and their triumphs.

In fact, the group lost a remarkable average of 25 pounds and an amazing 10 inches from their waists and hips over the three-month period. In the process, Rick received a wealth of feedback that will help others wishing to lose weight. And it’s all here in The G.I. Diet Clinic.
