Overview
The Low GI Eating Plan for an Optimal Pregnancy—written by the world’s leading experts on the glycemic index (GI)—will help you to clearly understand the connection between the food you eat, your blood glucose levels, and your baby’s future health.

• What to be aware of once you're eating for two
• How to ensure your weight gain is healthy

• 8 guiding principles that make it easy to put everything into practice
• The best foods to eat—as well as the ones to avoid
