Reader Reviews
The authors may have some good suggestions about glycemic load but they are way off on some of their facts, such as a low carb diet can cause muscle loss. A University of Illinois study published in August 2005 issue of the Journal of Nutrition showed that the women who ate a low-carb, high-protein diet had more productive workouts by burning more fat and building more muscle mass than those who ate a low-protein, high-carb diet. I gave it two stars for the meal suggestions but don't give up your low-carb lifestyle. Use this book with caution and only to "cheat" intelligently.
