The GI tables – the comprehensive lists of foods and their GI values – are the key to unlocking the fantastic health benefits of low GI eating. In this fully revised edition, the tables are easier to use than ever before, and include:

– A-Z listings for easy access

– Low-to-high GI values listings

– Helpful comments to inform your food choices


As well as the GI values, the tables also give the serving size and glycemic load – all the information you need to choose the best foods for the healthiest diet. Symbols indicate ‘star performer’ foods – those with a low GI and you the best overall nutritional value.

With tables organised in a variety of easy formats to suit all readers, the latest research into GI and an at-a-glance GI food pyramid, this is the only book you need to understand GI values at a glance and make the best possible food choices.
