[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 952087, member: 21149"] Sadly many of these sliiming clubs and products are still based on the 'must have low-fat' mantra that is now shown to be wrong. Unless you ened the motivation of being part of a group all you ened to do is gradually find the products that have lower carbs and that you like. This means that most proteins and fats are fine and you just need to set yourself a daily target maximum based on your meter and degree of diabetes. My figure is around 150gm/day and many set much lower targets. Yes, the GI/GL thin can be confusing. The GI index indicates the speed of absorption hence low-GI carbs avoid spikes although the total may be simialr and affect blood sugar. GL is about the carb content of typical food portions. Basically set yourself a daily target and go for low-GI carbs where you can. [/QUOTE]
