[QUOTE="Unbeliever, post: 265631, member: 30851"] I have no problem accepting that a low carb approach is more effecive for bg control and for losing weight. It is a quick fix. I do think however that wwe would have a healthier general population and less obesity had the GI approach been adopted more widely. Maybe it prevents weight gain rather than promotes weight loss. While probably not perfec in its present form it is a far healthier way of approaching diet than the popular high carb , low fat/ i followed the GI way for many years with my family. None of uswere ever obese or even overweight. There is a strong genetic link with T" {at least I think it is T2] in my family . I am reliably old I have probably had he disease since early adulthood but showed no definite symptoms anad was diagmnosed accidentally just before my 60th birthday. At least the GI diet causeds you to consider your food choices. It does require some work and study and not everyone would be prepared o ake he time and trouble. It is certainly much easier after having received he incenibve of a diagnosis to cut carbs ec. When I evenually found this forum i certainly workred for me.. GI is probably a good longterm choice for a healhy diet and lifestyle. Reducing carbs is a more immediately effecive way of responding o a diabees diagnosis. I was somewhat amused at th ewords of the dietitian quoted by yzzy above. She was refusing to endorse the GI diet on practically the same erms as the NHS refuses to endorse ow carb dies and for the same reason. At least she didn;t go n o recommend something worse! There are dangers in recommending any particular approach or in dismissing any either. GI is not the villain here alhough low carb may be the good guy for most. It is not GI versus low carb. GI does not push a high carb low fat diet. [/QUOTE]
