Medical professionals and dietitians recommend the Low-GI diet both for the prevention of heart disease and diabetes and for the safe and effective management of existing conditions. An added benefit is that it's a terrific diet for weight loss, too, in part because it is a low-carb diet. Indeed, author Dick Logue has walked this walk: Diagnosed with congestive heart failure two decades ago, he has returned to good health by following the Low-GI diet. Along the way, he has created tons of amazing recipes that have made his return to good health a delectably enjoyable journey.
