Low GI doesn't mean that the carbs down raise your BG - it just means it takes longer, so either you get the same spike later, or you get a longer lightly raised BG!  What makes you think that you are an exception?Crash diets are proven to fail in the vast majority of cases - particularly for people who think they can 'cheat'.Your Kidney problem means that High Protein is not good for you. You should  already know that high or even normal carbs are bad for you. That only leaves one Macro nutrient source - Fats!I was barely overweight when diagnosed, on 'do it yourself' Low Carb High Fat (and I mean High Fat  - lots of Olive Oil drizzled over everything, over 200gms of cheese every day, lot of brazil and walnuts). I brought my pre and post prandial BG figures down dramatically. At first I lost between 1 and 2lbs per week with no hunger, no extra exercise and probably consuming more calories than before!Since then I have cut down on the cheese a bit, but still don't' get hungrier than on a normal diet and I am still slowly losing weight and have now lost 17lbs - which is more than the 10% of my original body weight.Get yourself a meter if you don't have one - test before and after every meal (at 2hrs after first bite, if you eat a little high GI carbs then also test at 1hr after, if you eat a little low GI carbs then also test at 3hrs after (where possible).</blockquote>
