Читать книгу The 7-Day GL Diet: Glycaemic Loading for Easy Weight Loss - Nigel Denby - Страница 7

OK, so now you’ve got the gist of how and why the GL diet works, are you ready to get cracking?

This chapter is designed to give you a short and sweet, whistle-stop tour of how to use the book, eat fantastic low-GL food from the 7-day plans and, of course, get results.

We have written The 7-Day GL Diet to give you enough guidance to guarantee results. You can start by making small changes a week at a time until, before you know it, you are actually living a healthy low-GL lifestyle. If all you want to do is follow the diet for seven days to lose a few pounds then that’s no problem, but we’d like to think you’ll want to carry on once we get you feeling all the benefits of eating low GL. Once you feel confident about which foods are low GL and which aren’t, we think you’ll want to join the thousands of successful ‘Diet Freedom Fighters’ (as they like to be known) out there who now make eating low GL part of their day-to-day routine. You can of course carry on using all the recipes, food lists and shopping guides long after the first seven days. Remember, this doesn’t have to be a short-term quick fix – it can be a way of life.

Because the three of us are so different – and the feedback we’ve had tells us you are all so different too – we’ve carefully designed three seven-day plans to suit the variations in the way we all eat and prepare our food. If you want to pick one of the plans and follow it to the letter for seven days, that’s fine; or if you prefer to mix and match, choosing meals from all of the plans, then that will work too. You can also follow each of the plans in succession for three weeks, checking your results as you go – do whatever is going to fit in with your lifestyle and feels right for you.

Whichever way you choose to use the plans, here are a few golden rules that will help you stay on track, and lose those unwanted pounds and inches.
