Rick Gallop's Books


I've looked at various forms of the g.i. diet and for my money I really like Rick Gallop's book. He devised the traffic light pattern for the diet (red, yellow, green light foods) and combined it with dividing your dinner plate into sections; 1/4 plate protein, 1/4 plate good carbs, and 1/2 plate veggies/fruit. His tips and guidelines are clear, short, and to the point. The G.I. Diet is the first book and Living the G.I. Diet is the second book which is pretty much like the first except a little more in depth and it has a good recipe section. Simple and easy to follow. For the first time I have found a diet I can live with.

I've been doing the GI Diet over the summer and I also find it a diet that I can live with. It is simple and straightforward and no counting involved.
I've also emailed him regarding a food item I had come across but was not listed in his book (fat free plain yogurt). He answered me within 2 days. Not many authors will do that. or even take the time to reply.
I have not had a chance to look at his second book but am planning a trip to the bookstore asap.
