Default The Low Glycemic Diet....Any Experiences?

I have been trying to find a lower carb approach that is better suited for me, I have been doing Atkins on and off now for some time now, and it works but I have some effects from it that are hard for me to fix. I have been reading up on the glycemic index and I was wondering if anyone could give some advice...Thank you very much

Hello X-Carber:

I don't know if you are still out there...your post is a month old, but for more info on people's experiences with the Low GI Diet here is a link to a thread: http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthre...=glycemic+index

For what it's worth, I LOVE the GI Diet...I never felt hungry or deprived and I felt like I was eating really healthy and balanced...I LOVED going to the grocery store and felt so proud of the healthy foods I was eating (vs. my normal eating AND the Atkins diet) Just the amount of fresh fruit and veggies I was eating made me feel awesome and I had tons of energy.

I think it is the best plan for me...unfortunately, i have a HUGE problem with sugar and that always throws me off and gets me all twisted and off track.

I do have to say though that when I'm on plan...there is nothing better than the feeling of a nectarine satisfying my sweet craving! I feel like a NORMAL HUMAN BEING.

If you have questions feel free to contact me.

Best of luck!

The glycemic index is really a fantastic way to gauge how "healthy" the foods you choose really are. I high glycemic index means your body burns the calories slower and absorbs more nutrients. You'll have more sustained energy with healthier food choices. Lots of vegetables, fresh fruit, whole grains, and other complex carbs in moderation are the basics of a good GI diet. It works, too. You can increase your protein intake right along with it. The increased fiber in your diet will move things right along.
