The authors of the two-million-copyselling GLUCOSE REVOLUTION series bring us this indispensable guide to how a low GI diet can help control PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome). PCOS is a difficult syndrome for doctors to diagnose, but for the one in five UK women who suffer from it its symptoms can be debilitating and depressing; they include weight gain, difficulty conceiving, mood swings, excessive hairiness, acne, low energy and irregular periods. Low GI foods address insulin resistance - the underlying cause of PCOS - as well as being a scientifically proven way to lose weight safely and keep it off. In this easy-to-understand guide, the authors explain what PCOS is and how to recognise and get it diagnosed, guide you through low GI eating principles, and provide the tools to help you create and stick to a healthy lifestyle and a low GI diet. This is the definitive, scientifically sound guide for anyone who needs to know more about living a healthy life with PCOS.

The glycemic index--a system of ranking foods according to how fast they affect blood sugar levels--started out as a dietary tool for people with diabetes. Foods with the highest GI values cause a fast, high-blood-sugar response; foods with the lowest GI values break down slowly, releasing glucose into the bloodstream gradually. Now the GI concept has spread as a way to evaluate carbohydrates for people who are not diabetic. High-GI carbs (to be avoided) include processed breads, most cold cereals, potatoes, short-grain white rice, and some fruits. Low-GI carbs (fine to eat) include whole grains, brown rice, pastas, legumes, sweet potatoes, oats, and some fruits. The book also includes discussions of good/bad fats, the Mediterranean diet, and why high-protein diets don't work long-term. The Glucose Revolution Life Plan emphasizes how to eat plenty of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, fish, and lean meats for a satisfying, low-GI diet. After you understand the concepts, four different seven-day menus (including one for "busybodies") help you get started. Then 50 recipes follow, with dishes as diverse as Pepper, Corn, and Barley Patties; Apricot and Muesli Muffins; Vegetable and Sesame Noodle Stir-Fry; Tuna-Veggie Toss; Thai Chicken Curry; and Summer Pudding. The authors also coauthored The Glucose The Authoritative Guide to the Glycemic Index and other books in the Glucose Revolution series. --Joan Price

In 1999 The Glucose Revolution provided the most authoritative and comprehensive information ever published about the glycemic index—widely recognized as the most significant dietary finding of the last twenty-five years. It instantly became a national bestseller, garnered praise from major health and medical figures worldwide, and has sold more than half a million copies in ten countries, including 300,000 in North America alone. In the past three years, the results of clinical and observational studies, including the Harvard Nurses Health Study, have continued to affirm the dietary benefits of low-glycemic foods and to demonstrate the importance of maintaining blood glucose control for lifelong health. Now, with this completely revised and updated second edition, The New Glucose Revolution will be necessary reading for an ever-expanding audience—people managing diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and everyone seeking to make dietary choices for lifelong health. Completely new to this edition is coverage of the glycemic load, a calculation of the carbohydrate content in a food multiplied by its glycemic index. Also included are extensively expanded tables of glycemic-index values for nearly 800 foods—more than double the number of foods covered in the previous edition—along with their glycemic load values.

V knize je velice dobře vysvětleno proč a jak způsobují potraviny s vysokým glykemickým indexem (bílé pečivo, rýže, pečené bramory, sušenky, koláče) přibírání na váze. Kromě podrobných tabulek GI jsou podnětné i některé další poznatky z bohaté praxe autorek.
