 Tiny & thin book February 15, 2010
RL (WIXOM, MI, US)
Decent info but not at all what I was expecting. There are many better PCOS books out there and the G.I. diet info was limited.
 Great Diet Information October 4, 2009
Kristen Cook (Buffalo, New York)
This book is excellent for diet management of PCOS, the seven steps are so useful and have helped me lose over 19 pounds in 3 months. The sample grocery list is very helpful as are the recipes. Very much recommend!
Didn't work for me. September 3, 2009
Roisin Prestage (Lansdale, PA United States)
I've had PCOS for 23 years and have fought weight gain for most of them. The only time my body responded positively to any diet was on the Carbohydrate Addict's diet for Life. The only thing is, it's really hard to stay on it. I was at a healthy weight when I quit smoking, and figured I would try the Low G.I. for PCOS book for a new way of eating. I gained 20 lbs. in 6 months. I couldn't control the carb intake. Low G.I. or not, this diet made me crave more carbs, which in turn makes my hormones go crazy and makes me gain weight, esp. in my abdomen. I hope it works for other women with PCOS, but sadly, I did not get my money's worth from this book.
Very informative. Easy to understand. July 10, 2009

I don't know a lot of medical terms, nor do I want to, but this book helped me to understand what my body is doing. If you are diagnosed with PCOS, this is a MUST read!!
Informative but repetitive March 20, 2009

This book was a good overview of why a Low GI diet is so important to those suffering from PCOS. It went into a lot of detail regarding the way our bodies process things differently. It was dry, and I thought could have used more recipes, but I'd recommend it as a resource.
