But, say the authors, not all carbs are created equal, which is where the glycemic index comes in. A ranking of carbs based on how quickly they're broken down during digestion and their effects on blood sugar (glucose) levels, the index is culled from 15 years of studies involving hundreds of people. Carbohydrates with a high glycemic index, such as bread and potatoes, are quickly digested and released into the bloodstream as glucose. They provide an immediate energy boost, but aren't filling enough to sustain you till your next meal. Carbs with a low glycemic index, such as rolled oats and pasta, slowly release glucose into the bloodstream, are more satisfying, and better help to control hunger.
Part one of the book provides the scientific--but highly readable--explanation of what comprises a healthy, balanced diet. Part two provides specific recommendations for people looking to lose weight without feeling hungry all the time, athletes seeking energy to fuel their workouts, and people with diabetes who need to carefully control their blood sugar. This section also contains 50 easy-to-prepare recipes for meals and snacks, with a glycemic index ranking and fat, calorie, carbohydrate, and fiber counts. --Nancy Monson
