Customer Review: A way of eating that’s pleasurable, scientifically sound, and abundantly rewarding
Some readers of this review might be disappointed when they discover that I am not reviewing Dr Lindberg’s book as a dieter, but rather as a health-conscious person who is keenly aware of the beneficial effects of a low-GL diet on one’s energy, fertility, and general wellbeing. Indeed, I am not a ‘dieter’ in the sense that I have any weight to lose, and I only bought the book because it contained some recipes that looked totally marvellous, but I can - and will - put in my two cents’ worth on this wonderful book.
I cook pretty much all of my daily meals out of this book’s recipe section, and out of the accompanying Greek Doctor’s Diet Recipe Book, both of which espouse a way of eating that may inspire incredulity in those first encountering the diet, given that the meals are so luxurious!
I feel abundantly energetic when I eat this way, even though I follow a fairly exhausting strength-training programme three times a week, accompanied by the odd squash game. If you’re hoping to avoid exercise, then I can only pity you, because even the good Dr Lindberg admits that diet alone is not enough to build optimal health - you have to move your body, and do it regularly enough that you crave it (and miss it when you don’t)!
The science of GL, in my view (having read dozens of natural health-related books over the past eight years in my quest to avoid chronic illness), is watertight. It also happens to be very, very nicely explained in this book, and what is particularly helpful here (as distinct from the notable absence of such information in Nigel Denby’s books on GL) is that Dr Lindberg provides the GL rating for all the recipes. That way, those of us who still like ‘counting’ things (i.e. adding up GL points over the course of a day) will be totally satisfied, even though one simply needs to follow his daily meal recommendations (without any earnest calculating!) to ensure stable blood-sugar levels and a resultantly blissful mood.
I certainly hope that the book’s message will take hold in the hearts and minds of many women (especially younger ones - my peers) and, indeed, men. That message is, simply: low-fat diets are nonsense, as is counting food-values obsessively, so eat well, eat wholesomely, and eat with a conscious desire to feed yourself what will nourish your body without stealing nutrients from it (i.e. no white bread!). If you do, you’ll be rewarded with abundant energy, good lean muscle mass, and glowing skin that reflects the smoothly-functioning bodily systems within.
