Anytime it takes five people to write one book, you’ve got to wonder whether the subject matter is really difficult, or if there was a shortage of available projects on the market. The New Glucose Revolution tackles a pretty complex subject, but we failed to see how five people were really necessary to write one little book. However, despite this fact, we did find it an interesting read.

The main concept of the book is that by paying attention to the glycemic index for foods, you can make better food choices and lose weight more rapidly. The book breaks down foods into three main groups, Low, Medium and High GI to assist the reader in determining which foods are safe to eat. The authors maintain that if your diet contains foods that are too high in the GI index, it will be more difficult to lose weight.

Many people, such as diabetics, already live on a low GI diet, but that doesn’t mean that they are skinny. While there are tremendous benefits available to paying attention to just how much sugar is in the food that you eat, it certainly is not the cure-all pill. That said, this book does give an exhaustive account of how monitoring your GI intake can help you lose weight.

Perhaps the best resource are the 67 pages that are devoted to listing popular foods and revealing their GI amounts. This is very helpful for those looking to ingest less sugar and try to watch how many carbs they are actually eating. The recipes and food preparation tips are also very helpful and overall, we found the book to be a solid treatise on the subject that provides more than enough resources to stick with a low GI diet without risking boredom. You may not agree with everything in the book, but it is still a good read.

If you are interested in learning more about how sugar impacts weight loss, and how using the GI scale can help you lose weight, this is certainly an interesting read. While many of the concepts are pretty tough, the authors did a good job of breaking everything down and making it easier to understand. The inclusion of recipes was a nice touch, and overall it was a good read.

We recommend the book on the basis that there is a lot to be learned here and this is one of the few resources that makes decoding the GI scale a lot easier. There are a few problems with it, such as not focusing enough on exercise, but overall, this was a decent book and there is a lot to be learned. If you are looking for a great weight loss solution and have frequently come up empty, this may not be a bad book to add to your collection. Just remember that there is no replacement for exercise and any diet can be enhanced by adding more activity to your life.
