Diet :“I can’t believe that after two pregnancies and at age 32 I weigh what I did in high school! It’s thanks to the G.I. Diet ! I’ve tried other diets, but this is the one that has changed the way I eat and exercise for life.” Janine “Just want to say THANKS!!! The G.I. Diet is amazing, and easy to follow. I’ve tried to lose weight for years and finally a no-nonsense guide has arrived. As an RN working in a coronary care unit, this book will definitely be recommended to my patients.” Helen “I’ve lost over 40 pounds in a matter of just over 2 months. My doctor can’t believe the change. Best I’ve felt in years. I weigh less than when I was married 16 years ago. I’m not hungry between meals with your meal plans, and yes, I can indulge once in a while, without putting back any weight.” Joe “I can’t believe I’m actually losing weight without even trying! I’m not even exercising! And I do cheat a bit (I love popcorn). Thank you for your book -- I’m finally getting the help all my doctors couldn’t give!” Tracy “I am thrilled about my fifty-pound weight loss (in just less than four months) and significant reduction in my blood sugar. Your book has given me renewed hope in getting my weight off, as I have fifty more pounds to go. It is so confidence-building to know that my morbid obesity these past many years hasn’t been my fault, and I only wish I had known this information years ago.”
