Sprag this post finally brought some clarification on some questions I had. I'm a newbie and I've been reading all this low carb stuff for 4 days now and I felt like I was still doggie paddling! One last question for you though, If we are to keep to a GI of 30 in phase 1 on MM, what is the equivalent of this in GL points? I've been wondering how we could eat all we wanted on MM of low GI's without it all adding up to be a big amount. Am I making sense? Maybe it's my old Weight Watchers thinking coming out of me.
