There are tons, we have a couple at home (im not at home though) but at the end of the day the GI is the GI. Im sure it wouldnt change from book to book. There are also many sites that have this info. I THINK one of the GI books we have is the GI REVOLUTION. I dont think you would go wrong with any of them, heck you can often find little pocket books at the checkout of the grocery store with GI info. Go into any bookstore and grab the one that has the most foods in an easy to look up format.
Re: Recommended Books
The GI revolution was actually recommended to me by my Dr as it written by Dr's, there is two or three in the collection and i think there is one that is just like a calorie counter but for the GI in just about every food you can think of.

Re: Recommended Books
It is good to know which are High GI foods..but remember GI gets altered big time once you add protein and fat Having carrots and potato on its own is very different to when you add lean protein and healthy fat I am not saying you can stuff your face with high GI,just that it changes+ that it is ok to hav ethem from time to time in mix Hope it makes sense
Re: Recommended Books
Makes sense to me. Its simple math really, higher GI foods combined with lower GI foods become an average of the two if portions are equal. But still, play safe.
Re: Recommended Books
For sure I just know so many people who are freaking out about carrots,peas,corn etc...and then go on muffin binge cos they feel deprived of something sweet So I incorporate higher "sweet"GI vegetables and starches into my meals and it keeps me satisfied I mean sweet potato is like a desert to me ..yummy People often think that the 8 weeks out diet is what you eat all the time...huge difference when you are off-season or maintaining For sure as time comes closer you eliminate most high or even medium GI from eating plan..everything goes and plan is kept plain and simple
