"For the management of Diabetes, the most effective amongst the current crop of diets is the glycemic index (G.I. ) diet...The G.I. approach postulated by Gallop is particularly good because it's easy to understand and apply to everyday life."

Dr. Medeve in Diabetes Dialogue (Canadian Diabetes Association)

The G.I. Diet books can now be purchased online at Amazon.ca. The G.I. Diet books can also be purchased in major bookstores nationwide.

The G.I. Diet Clinic is a 13 week weight loss program incorporating weekly meal plans and recipes to make losing weight on the G.I. Diet even easier. The Clinic is based on an actual E-Clinic which Rick undertook with volunteers with substantial weight problems. Every single one of the participants who completed the program lost a significant amount of weight, averaging a remarkable 25 pounds and an amazing 10 inches from waist and hips.

As a reader of the G.I. Diet, you may find this book an ideal way to reinvigorate your weight loss program or introduce a family member or friend to the green-light lifestyle.

You may also be interested in an E-Clinic extension of the book which is being made available to both readers of the G.I. Diet Clinic as well as readers of other books in the G.I. Diet series.

This E-Clinic extension offers nine monthly letters covering such important issues as: maintaining motivation; dealing with temptation; how to accelerate your weight loss; anxiety and fear of failure. It also offers an exclusive members only website. For complete details see www.gidietclinic.com.

The Family G.I. Diet has been written in response to the thousands of readers who have emailed us about family issues and the role of The G.I. Diet. It is written mainly through women's eyes in terms of their own health and hormonal issues including pregnancy, nursing and menopause. It also deals from a women's perspective with their traditional role, rightly or wrongly, as gatekeepers for health and nutrition for the family.

I have co-authored the book with my wife, Dr Ruth Gallop. Ruth is Professor Emeritus at the University of Toronto with a particular interest in women's emotional health and well-being. For many women a sense of well-being is closely linked to weight and self image.

The G.I. Diet is an ideal way for the whole family to eat. In the book we cover finicky tots, junk food obsessed teens, reluctant spouses/partners and ageing parents. So if you're tired of being a short-order cook accommodating everyone's different needs and would like a female perspective, then this is the book for you. End of commercial!
