Glucose Revolution Review

What You Should Know

The Glucose Revolution diet is based on eating foods to manage blood sugar, and identify good carbs and bad carbs. It contains 50 recipes and gives the Glycemic index of 300 food and drink items to help you understand which ones to avoid. Since Low Glycemic index foods metabolize slowly, the diet is based on eating more of them versus the high Glycemic index foods, which metabolize quickly leaving you hungry and causing blood sugar spikes.

This is a diet similar to what diabetics are forced to stick with. Since the Glycemic index came out in the 1970’s, each food gets a ranking based on the index. This diet is based on an authoritative guide to how the Glycemic Index works, when it comes to healthier living, but is not based on a weight loss plan, but weight loss might be a side effect for some people depending on current eating patterns.

List of Ingredients

Low G.I. foods have an index less than 55, Intermediate G.I. foods index between 55 and 70 and High G.I. foods index greater than 70. Here foods to watch:

Product Features

Glucose Revolution does not suggest removing carbs completely from your diet. Low G.I. foods help suppress hunger between meals and manage blood sugar, while high G.I. foods increase hunger often forcing people to snack. Glucose Revolution gives you 50 recipes such as Minestrone Soup, Chicken Basmati Rice Pilaf, Fajita Pockets with lean beef and Cran-Apple Crisp.

Pro’s

Good, basic diet for diabetics.
Might curb urge for snacking between meals by controlling sugar spikes.
Some people can lose weight by using the Glycemic Index to curb sugar or carbohydrate intake.

Con’s

Not so much a weight loss diet, as a diet for diabetics.
Requires looking up Glycemic indexes on everything you eat to follow the diet.
Might be hard for the average person to stick with unless they are diabetic.
Doesnít contain before and after or testimonials.
Doesnít address exercise or thermogenics to help burn fat quicker.
Is essentially a low carb diet, even though they donít cut them out completely.

Conclusion

I would not choose this as a weight loss plan, although, it has helpful hints for diabetics. While controlling glycemics could result in weight loss, the diet is more focused on eating healthy using low sugar and starch foods. There are quicker and easier ways to lose weight that donít involve looking up every single itemís glycemic index before you eat it, so average dieters might have a hard time sticking with Glucose Revolution for very long.
