Meditation For Weightloss

The G.I. Diet : The Easy, Healthy Way to Permanent Weight Loss

The G.I. Diet : The Easy, Healthy Way to Permanent Weight Loss Why was this a #1 bestseller in Canada in 2002? Because it is an easy-to-follow, easy-to-stick-to, truly healthy approach to eating that is based on the Glycemic Index, the original science behind The Zone Diet, but eliminates that diet's complexity and tendency to leave dieters wanting more. If you can understand a traffic light, you can understand this diet--and lose weight permanently without feeling hungry, counting calories, or jeopardizing your health. If a food is in the green column, eat it. If it's in the red column, avoid it. And if it's in the yellow column, proceed with caution. Take bread, for example. White bread, with its high G.I. number, is red-because it's so highly processed the body digests it quickly, resulting in a spike in blood sugar, a release of insulin, potential storage as fat, and a quick return of the hungry feeling. Low-G.I. 100% stone-ground whole-wheat bread is green-the body takes a while to digest it, with no spike in blood sugar and a much longer feeling of satiety. Green, yellow, red: It's all here, with a full explanation of how the diet works, plus ratings for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, eating out or eating in. Includes some recipes, snack ideas, a shopping list, and tips on dining out.
Customer Review: It just makes sense
I've been somewhat frustrated as of these past couple years as I've been having trouble trying to lose fat in the hip/waist area. Reason being that I exercise 5x/week (at least 30 minutes of cardio + weights) and have been pretty good about my what I eat. I'm not an overweight person, but do have problems in the areas as written above.

So I gave this diet a shot and got results much sooner that I had thought (i.e. w/in the week). My waist is much flatter and pants are starting to fit like they used to. Almost too good in that I'm starting to lose weight in areas that I don't want (i.e. legs).

In addition to cutting the fat, this diet emphasizes the problem w/ simple sugars and processed, refined foods/grains. These are easy to digest and are dumped into the bloodstream quickly. As a consequence, the body is saturated w/ more sugar than it needs and will place it into storage for later use (i.e. fat cells). Insulin is pretty good about transporting this sugar spike and you will be left hungry shortly --> leading to snacking, overeating.

This diet is a timed-release diet, if you will. D/t the fiber content of the green light foods, sugar is released at a gradual rate into the bloodstream. This eliminates any cravings for snacks as there's a constant supply of energy/food content in the body for a longer period of time as opposed to simple sugars.

This diet is almost perfect. The pro's: it's works! It's overall a better way to take care of yourself. It cuts down on cholesterol and likely prevents type II diabetes. Most important, it's a complete diet: I really like how this diet doesn't cut out on nutrients that the body has to have (i.e. Atkins diet).

The cons: GI diet food can be hard to find when it comes to eating/going out. Following this diet can be hard at times d/t decreased availability. Ex: being of Asian descent, brown rice or whole wheat just doesn't happen when we have family gatherings or eat out. Only options are piling on the extra vegetables if those are even available.
-Not necessarily a con, but a caution. People on this diet will have to keep their water up. This is important in that less water and lots of fiber can cause constipation or at worst obstuction. Water is important to keep fiber rich foods moving along the GI tract.
- Also, it doesn't take too much to make the weight come back. A weekend binge can redeposit the fat almost instantaneously.

But overall, I'm very happy about my results and oh yes, the book itself. Thorough enough, very easy to follow. I highly recommend Dr. Gallop's ideas/way of life!

Customer Review: It works for me
I have only been using the G.I. Diet for 2 1/2 weeks and have lost 23 lbs. This book is the best combination of all the diet ideas out there and really works. Buy it, Read it, Do it.I did like the author's suggestion about reducing caffeine intake. I've been off coffee after my doctor told me it caused me acid indigestion. He recommended a book called "The Truth About Caffeine: How Companies That Promote it Deceive us and What We Can Do About It. Highly Recommended..

The Portion Teller : Smartsize Your Way to Permanent Weight Loss

The Portion Teller : Smartsize Your Way to Permanent Weight Loss Would you ever consider going to the kitchen in the morning and grabbing five slices of bread for breakfast? No? Just one bagel or perhaps a bran muffin is more like it, right? Well, think again. Your morning bagel or muffin is probably equivalent to eating five slices of bread, maybe more. That’s most of your grain servings for the day.

And, that steak you ate last night? For all the calories and protein you consumed, you might as well have eaten 18 eggs. More than double the amount of protein you need in a day.

Surprised at just how much you are eating? Dr. Lisa Young isn’t. She has been studying how Americans eat for more than a decade, and what she found is astonishing. Portion sizes have subtly and steadily increased over the past thirty years and are now two to five times larger than they were in the past. Even the average dinner plate has grown several inches to accommodate more food. The portions we’re served are getting bigger and we keep eating. The end result? That’s right. Americans are getting fatter.

So what should you do about it? You may think that counting calories, fat grams, or even eliminating entire food groups such as grains is the way to keep this trend toward colossal cuisine from making you fat. The problem is, you don’t know how many calories, fat, and carbs are in your favorite foods. No one does, not even the experts. When nutritionists were shown several restaurant meals in a survey, not one person was able to accurately guess the calorie or fat content of the meals.

In The Portion Teller, you’ll develop portion-size awareness and learn how to lose weight without weighing food or counting calories. Using simple visuals such as a deck of cards, a yo-yo, a baseball, and even your own hand, you’ll find out what a serving size is supposed to look like and how many servings you can eat per day from each food group. The visuals are easy to use: If your piece of salmon at dinner is about the size of three decks of cards, you’ve eaten all your meat and fish servings for the day.

The plan is easy. You’ll keep a food diary for a short time to get you started. Once you learn how to size-up your favorite foods with the visuals, Lisa’s Portion Personalities show you how stumbling blocks can be easily overcome. Are you a See Food Eater who can’t stop yourself at the sight of food or a Special Occasion Victim who can’t resist that cake at an office party or a Volume Eater who always wants her plate to be full? As a long-time nutrition counselor, Young gives real-world solutions for tackling your bad habits. There’s a cheater’s guide, for those who must satisfy that late-night chocolate craving, as well as a survival guide for eating out and daily meal plans.

No forbidden foods, no calorie counting, no food weighing. The Portion Teller isn’t a diet—it’s a sensible eating plan and the end of diet deprivation. Welcome to diet liberation.
Customer Review: Excellent job Explaining Portion Sizes
The book does an excellent job of explaining portion sizes and what is a normal size meal. Will help anyone trying to drop a few pounds, or maintain her or his body weight they are at now. Good rules to follow for feeding childern-teach them at an early age what is normal proportions and they will have less problems later in life and prevent them from " super sizing" everything in site. Highly recommended.
Customer Review: Best Ever
This book is all anyone needs to eat right, eat healthily and get to (or maintain) a normal weight. I had the dreaded last 8 lbs of weight to loose to get back to my ideal target weight. And the first 5 of those just melted off when I applied the portion principles in this book. Everyone I have recommended this book to has had the same success. This book makes all other books about eating obsolete. It's the best!!!
