THE G.I. DIET MENOPAUSE CLINIC
A Week-by-Week Guide to Coping with Middle Age Spread
By Rick Gallop
Hot on the heels of the highly successful G.I. Diet Clinic comes a new Clinic book addressing one of the most stressful times in a woman's life, Menopause.
Menopause and post- menopause can be a challenging time of life for women. It is a time of not only physical change, but also empty nests and aging parents. Metabolism slows and hormonal storms play havoc with daily lives. Many are at the peak of demanding careers, which only adds to the stress. It's also the time of life when women begin to develop the dreaded middle-aged spread. In fact menopause is THE major hormonal trigger for women gaining weight.
But there is a way to take control, a way to increase energy, reduce hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms and get rid of those hard-to-lose pounds. In The G.I. Diet Menopause Clinic Rick Gallop has adapted his hugely popular G.I. Diet specifically for the special needs of menopausal women.
Rick addresses concerns such as middle age spread and the changing body shape; weight gain; lack of energy; mood swings; sleeplessness; hot flashes and low self esteem.
The book is based on the experiences of a group of forty menopausal or postmenopausal women who volunteered to participate in a thirteen-week G.I. Diet Menopausal e- clinic.
During these weeks, Rick acted as a personal coach, instructing the participants on the basics of the G.I. Diet, answering questions, providing tips on shopping, cooking, eating out, and dealing with cravings and emotional binge-eating. In turn, they shared their stories with Rick - what was working, what wasn't; their feelings, their highs and lows, stumbling blocks and ultimately their triumphs.
The feedback from these participants was more than positive. They all lost weight and reported a significant decrease in menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, tiredness, mood-swings and binge eating.
From Carol Ann

From Marlene

"The new green light way of eating seems to have reversed the hot flashes, insomnia and mood swings that were part of my daily life...I had almost resigned myself to living that (horrible) way for the rest of my life."
From Helen
Who lost 14 pounds and a total of 13 inches from her waist and hips:
"I have been on every diet going, lost weight, but could never stick to it. The G.I. Diet has been easy to follow. Even though my trips and eating out proved a little challenging at times, the program helped me with better choices, watching my portions, and feeling empowered, and my blood pressure has returned to normal limits."
From Ann
Who lost 24 pounds and a total of 9 1/2 inches from her waist and hips:
"I had hot flashes so badly before this diet that I was like a teapot boiling over. They are gone! I get a few minor ones now that I can cope with. The most rewarding thing has been I feel so much better health wise and have more energy and less aches and pains."
