Format:Taschenbuch
This guide picks up very well where the original Glucose Revolution end. It covers how the glycemic index can be used in enhancing sports performance by discussing when to eat foods with different GI's. The books begins with an overview of the glycemic index (good enough that you may not need to read the original book) and then moves into discussing it's impacts on sports nutrition. It closes by presenting several case studies that give examples of how the GI can be intergrated with various sports programs.
For general athletic events this is a good book. It is well written and is a quick and easy read -- you can get the main points out of it in about 30 minutes. The material in it can be useful to anyone that engages in physical activity, not just athletes.
However, it doesn't cover how the glycemic index and carbohydrate consumption can be used to increase lean body mass and decrease body fat. Weight control is dicussed, but there isn't much emphasis on the difference between body fat and muscle. I was looking to understand how I could use the glycemic index to help increase lean body muscle and decrease body fat. The book didn't answer this question for me, but it was enjoyable read regardless.

No References, Questionable Advice
3. November 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
The thing that bothered me the most was that this book didn't have a single reference.
The narrative style makes this more like a novel than a scientific legitimate nutritional text. The Authors recommend a typical high carbohydrate, low fat diet. Fiber is bad because it makes you gassy and jelly beans are ok. White bread is good... It is absolutely biased and based on the GI Index approach.
According to the book, for my activity level and my weight (230 lbs), I should be getting:
840 grams of carbs per day or 3360 calories from carbs
250 grams of protein
88 grams fo fat
for a grand total or approximately 5100 calories
The book makes no mention of elite or world class athletes but rather contains four case studies of John, Jim, Analise and Ian whose legitimacy is questionable. The heaviest athlete in this book is a 175lbs making this book tailored for endurance athletes.
To summarize the entire book:
For a PRE-WORKOUT meal, you should eat 1-2 grams of carbohydrates of low GI carbs 1-2 hrs before an event, or a workout
DURING the event/workout, drink gatorade
AFTER the event eat 100g of high GI carbs to aid recovery
