[QUOTE="xyzzy, post: 265779, member: 40343"] The doctor is a lady Sid. Don't worry I've done that - twice :oops: Aha but there we have it Sid. You eat Burgen cos its Lo GI. I eat Burgen cos its Lo Carb. Both views are applicable wouldn't you say? What matters is not one piece of Burgen but what happens overall. Seriously though my point is you and I would eat the slice of Burgen and then test. No difference. The difference is if a UK dietician were giving us that eat Burgen advice they would go on to say "and eat a diet of similar starchy carbs with every meal and don't stop until 33% of what you've eaten is starchy and your total carbs amount to 50% of your daily intake". This overall advice gives the majority of diet only T2's no chance of successfully eating to their meters. A Swedish dietician recommending their moderate carb reduced system would say "Eat the Burgen in moderation but also try and eat a diet rich in [list of foods] and restrict other starchy carbs so that your total carbs amount to 30%". This gives the majority of diet only T2's a far better chance of successfully eating to their meters. Likewise an American dietician would nowadays say a Grazer like phrase of "eat around 130g of carbs a day" and again give the majority of diet only T2's a far better chance of successfully eating to their meters.
