[QUOTE="There is no Spoon, post: 1772679, member: 468755"] Strange as it is, going of the list I'm using as GI reference I could easily describe my diet as low GI, very low GI. [URL]http://www.the-gi-diet.org/lowgifoods/[/URL] Looking at this list I eat nothing form the first 2 columns and once you get past beetroot there is nothing in the final column either. That's ultra low GI with things in my diet scoring an average of under 20 and 50 being classed as low. I had a favourable opinion of GI, baised on 1 paper I read, even though I hadn't looked into in any detail. When I did I had an instant "knee jerk" reaction to the carb and sugar content of foods listed with low GI's. Website which all seemed to score protein as zero GI prompted an other "knee jerk" reaction. [I]"Meat and poultry are not carbohydrate sources and as such do not have an effect on blood sugar. Therefore, meat and poultry are not included in the glycemic index. Consuming animal protein sources such as beef and poultry should not elevate your blood sugar."[/I] I started OP by " asking if there were subtleties and complexities I was missing?" [B]Obviously the answer was yes. [/B] The simplest being GI in conjunction with GL and putting either rating in to a real world context. [B]Essentially [/B][I] different things on your plate digest at different rates effecting how much bg is elevated over how long a period it takes to do so[/I]. Using a system to calculate GI/GL and carb amounts to ascertain how much pasta or potatoes you can put on your plate with out it elevating bg "too much" seems unnecessary convoluted. And ultimately flawed as it scores protein as zero GI. [U]My opinion: (and its simply that an opinion)[/U] Any diet that says protein dose not have an effect on elevating bg and supports eating things with "added sugar". Is just wrong. :bag: [/QUOTE]
