Low GI Diet

RE: Low GI Diet By T&T Grandma (295) Profile Contact Hi, there are so many available if you google low glycemic index foods websites I found: http://www.southbeach-diet-plan.com/lowglycemicfoodlist.htm www.lowglycemicdiet.com/gifoodlist.html Again, each food is going to affect each person differently. I find all processed cereal (all not cooked by me on the stove) will rapidly affect me. Hot cereals that are the worst for me--cream of rice/wheat. Best--old fashioned oatmeal and also shredded mini wheat biscuits. I find a number of things on the low index list that would drive me bananas right away. See what affects you and take it one food at a time.

As a general rule the less refined a food is the lower the GI Also things like fat, fiber, acid in the dish slow the insulin response. I don;t think this information is on the package label. Also cooking affects the GI . Pasta cooked al dente has a lower GI than when it is cooked longer. Also check into something called the GLYcemic Load which is said to be more accurate than the Glycemic INDEX Good Luck Merlene Posted on 09/19/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Low GI Diet By Cheryl (Guest Post) Hi Sandie: There are some great web sites to help you http://www.glycemicindex.com/ http://www.mendosa.com/gilists.htm Best of Luck!
