What is the single most important thing you can do for your health? Avoiding "sugary" food is a great start to a healthier you.
But some foods (like French fries, breads, and cereals) quickly convert to sugar during digestion.
Glycemic index (GI) and Glycemic load (GL) show us how our bodies respond to different foods. This response is at the heart of an endless list of diseases -- and can guide us on a new path to optimum health. Knowing the glycemic values of the foods you eat puts you right on the cutting edge of your own healthcare.
The World Health Organization endorses using glycemic values in selecting foods, but many health professionals consider GI and GL too complicated to use in their clinical practice....It is easier to prescribe a pill for each symptom than to teach patients how to use this life-changing information.
This translates into not listing GI and GL values on our packaged food products and not including these important values in our National Nutrient Database files.
So it is up to the consumer to figure it out on their own.
In this groundbreaking consumer guide, the first of its kind, Ms. Lickus brings you these key glycemic values just for foods born in the USA.
As you read this book, you'll find detailed guidelines with clear, easy-to-understand examples that show how you can use glycemic values to power your health to a new all-time-high, at any age. The benefits can be amazing - not only in treating or preventing serious illness, but in increasing your energy, losing extra weight for good, feeling simply awesome for life, and so much more.

GLYCEMIC INDEX: Foods with the lowest glycemic index (GI) ranking are at the top of the chart. Foods with a high glycemic index (GI) are at the end of the chart.
