[QUOTE="robertconroy, post: 1571323, member: 30728"] No body should be using glycemic index as it is very inaccurate as it's based on a comparison of 50 grams of carbohydrate of each food and how that amount raises blood sugar in many individuals tested. It doesn' represent a true portion size you would actually eat. Take watermelon for ecample - glycemic index of 74% of pure glucose, which is 100%. Very high. But watermellon on glycemic load is only 4, very low. Using glycemic load is much more accurate. You can get a small book on glycemic load, or a phone app for free. GL is the phone app I use and the book is The Easy GL Diet Handbook $10 on Amazon. [/QUOTE]
