Customer Reviews:

Good, practical cookbook

By Library Girl Reads - May 18, 2009

The GL Cookbook and Diet Plan offers practical advice for substituting foods with lower glycemic index scores for those with higher scores. Recipes were also created looking at the total glycemic load which differs based on food combinations and portion sizes.

not many good recipes

By bk213 - October 30, 2011

I have several GI/GL books. Wanted a good cookbook to go along with the diet basics books. But this is NOT the best cookbook I have ever seen. The diet plan part is fine, but the recipes are few and not very enticing.
