try amazon.com or i am sure borders or barnes and noble can order it for you. i want to try it too. also, i am going to check my library to see what is available. the library here with get books from other city libraries so you can just pick it up at your local branch if that makes sense. kind of like netflix for the library. check your local library for books on pcos. also, there is some website where you can trade paperback books with people all over the US, you just pay for the shipping of the book and pass it on when you are done. i haven't checked that site either though.
Low glycemic means that it doesn't have as much of an impact on your blood sugar compared to other foods that are high glycemic. It's well worth studying about if you have PCOS. I will have to look for the book, it looks interesting!
I've had this book for about a month, and there are some really good recipes in it. I haven't been able to use it too much because I live with my parents when I'm not in school, and they eat completely different from the way I do. The information at the beginning before all of the recipes is very interesting and has made me more aware and watchful of the food that I eat. Most of the recipes make at least 6 servings, which makes it difficult to finish off when only 1 or 2 people are eating it. There are a lot of recipes for pasta, soups, and salads that don't include meat. I like the way that many different types of vegetables are included in each recipe. Most of the recipes that I've made so far have been pretty good, and I'm really looking forward to using this cookbook a lot more when I move into my apartment at school.
