[QUOTE="Bananas 2, post: 1894481, member: 468065"] Diogenes GI of 24 is not correct. Cashews are around GI=22, and that is the highest of the tree nuts (highest carb count as well). Other sources report almonds at GI=0, but that is also incorrect. Based on my research, almonds' GI appears from 5 to maybe 10 max. Lots fat, fiber and protein buffer the small amount of carbs. If eating a lowcarb diet, we must also be aware of protein -- and almonds have plenty. This can result in gluconeogenesis if a significant amount are eaten, however that is a very slow process that equates to about a GI of 5. [/QUOTE]
