The GI Bikini Diet

Here, for the first time, is a diet designed with your bikini in mind. This program focuses not only on the loss of body weight but also on regaining (and retaining) body shape. So weight can be shed where women want it least-on the hips and thighs. Goodbye cellulite!

In less than a month this simple, realistic weight-loss plan enables women to begin to rediscover their natural bikini figures painlessly, with only minimal restrictions on the appetite. Scaling back mostly on refined carbohydrates-which have a high glycemic index (GI) and thus stimulate fat-building hormones-the GI Bikini Diet aims to switch on fat-burning hormones with low-GI foods like whole grains, green vegetables, eggs, cheese, poultry, meat, and fish (not to mention butter and gin).

Rich in all essential nutrients and based on medically sound principles, the GI Bikini Diet is as healthful as it is tasty and satisfying, and the abundant and delicious low-GI recipes prove it. So there's much to enjoy in this easy, day-by-day diet and exercise plan: good food, good health, the beach.
