Praise for The GL Diet For Dummies

‘The increasing prevalence of diabetes has huge social

and financial implications for developed countries.

With increasing incidence of conditions such as the

metabolic syndrome, predisposing people to diabetes,

the trend is even more worrying. I am convinced that

making diet and lifestyle changes to reduce the risk or

improve the treatment of diabetes is one of the most

critical steps an individual can take. The GL Diet For

Dummies combines the fundamental principles of a

healthy balanced diet with practical advice to help

improve glycaemic control and long term health.’

— Sir Michael Hirst, Diabetes UK

‘Rather than being just a fad diet, GL represents a sus-

tainable lifestyle choice, which is healthy and satisfying

in the long term. The science is well-founded, and has

been talked about in academic circles for years, but

now, as we are all becoming expert nutritionists, we

should all be more aware and conscious of GL as part

of a healthy balanced lifestyle.’

— Dr David Haslam, Clinical Director of the

National Obesity Forum

‘Is it worth getting nutrition right – and is it easy? We at

HEART UK say yes – and yes! Simply eating well really

is a good investment towards staying well.’

— Michael Livingston, Director, HEART UK
