Summary: Good, but not complete
Comment: 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.
