The Family G.I. Diet has been written in response to the thousands of readers who have emailed us about family issues and the role of The G.I. Diet. It is written mainly through women's eyes in terms of their own health and hormonal issues including pregnancy, nursing and menopause. It also deals from a women's perspective with their traditional role, rightly or wrongly, as gatekeepers for health and nutrition for the family.

I have co-authored the book with my wife, Dr Ruth Gallop. Ruth is Professor Emeritus at the University of Toronto with a particular interest in women's emotional health and well-being. For many women a sense of well-being is closely linked to weight and self image.

The G.I. Diet is an ideal way for the whole family to eat. In the book we cover finicky tots, junk food obsessed teens, reluctant spouses/partners and ageing parents. So if you're tired of being a short-order cook accommodating everyone's different needs and would like a female perspective, then this is the book for you. End of commercial!
