A very helpful book for someone who has just been instructed to pursue managing her PCOS more actively by her doctor! Has some good looking recipes for low GI eating and has useful explanations for the mechanisms behind PCOS.
At the time of reading this book I had been a Type 1 diabetic for about 27 years. I had heard of the low carb diet thing, but thought it was all about weight loss because of the Atkins hype. This book helped me understand food and diet SO much and get better results with my glucose levels.
Worth it for the extensive GI values list at the back, as well as for the recipes. The intro to GI and why it's helpful for dealing with PCOS is overly long and repetitive. They could've said the same thing in half the pages.
A good book that provides a great deal of information for its price.

The five chapters are: understanding PCOS, all about carbohydrates and the GI of foods, taking charge, putting the GI to work in your day, and recipes. As well as this there is an A-Z of GI and GL in the form of tables, a good glossary and an easy to use index (including a recipe index separately).

The book is easy to read and will not bamboozle you. When I was first diagnosed this is one of the books I bought and is up show more there amongst the favourites. show less
