New Glucose Revolution Pocket Guide to Peak Performance

The glycemic index (GI) -- an easy-to-understand measure of how different foods affect our blood glucose levels -- is revolutionizing the way we eat. Medical experts and health authorities now advocate using GI values in making daily food decisions -- so it's never been more important to understand and benefit from the GI. This guide, written by the leading authorities on the GI, recommends what to eat to boost athletic performance, enhance stamina, and prevent fatigue. It explains how both high- and low-GI foods can help you reach your maximum potential. A quick quiz helps you evaluate your current eating habits, practical diet suggestions will help keep weight under control, and refueling advice will get you charged at the right time. Also included are success stories and GI values for hundreds of foods and beverages.
