The Glycemic Load Counter: A Pocket Guide to Gl and GI Values for Over 800 Foods

This is a small fit in your pocket book. Although the book covers over 800 foods, for me, it doesn't go far enough as there are so many foods available today. I particularly wanted to know about butternut squash as I am pre-diabetic and so am watching what I eat carefully. There was only generic squash listed but non of the 16 types were broken down. Only soy milk was shown as a diary alternative (I use oat milk). Also there was no A-Z which would have made finding things that much quicker.

Really good little book that I will be recommending to my client. The only point worth highlighting is the measurement of food could have been made clearer. (FYI is for 100g per food)

this book is not set out particularly well, it has far too many band names and the weights aren't standardised. There's no reason to the order, not alphabetical. One can eventually navigate around it but it takes too long to find the category and one wants to go into the kitchen and eat bread and jam to alleviate the boredom!!!

Exactly what it says on the cover,clear and concise...would love to have had some branded food GL values, but really useful.

Handy little GL counter. Fits into pocket or handbag. It tells you what a portions size is at the beginning of the book but I think that can be a bit confusing. I would rather have the weight by the product - but good book

I now have 3 of these - 1 each for the kitchen, car and briefcase. A very good 'handy' guide (small notebook size). It's v good for relative comparison - eg orange juice vs croissant, or cheerios vs bran flakes

Very useful to find values for both GI and GLeasily and quickly.....divided into sections/food groupsgood value for price

It Was what I wanted for a diabetic diet, the book covers most foods that I enjoy so a good buy
