Where can one get comprehensive yet simple and easy to follow information on low GI eating and how to go about it?

Low GI Eating Made Easy may be the book that you are looking for. It was written to answer the very question that you have asked! It is currently available in Australia and New Zealand (published by Hachette Livre Australia). We understand that it will be available in the UK in December 2005 (Hodder Mobius) and in the USA in January 2006 (Marlowe and Company). It was reviewed in July GI News. Check out the Hachette Livre Australia website for more information and how to order:

i have been reading about the Kick start low GI souple diet. is this something endorsed by or associated with your group?

The Kickstart Soup Diet is not associated with the GI Group in any way. It's for people who want instant results. It's a drastic seven-day 'quick start' plan on Australia's Channel Seven television station to get those kilos really moving. After the seven days they suggest people follow a low GI eating plan for long-term sustained weightloss. Here's the link.
