And they're different: some eating plans allow for a few sweet potatoes, others eliminate them entirely. Again, YMMV.

I read the The New Glucose Revolution to help me start out and it did work. I have to get back to that. You could also try The GL (Glycemic Load) Diet for Dummies. Tons of books to choose from.
