May I ask what bread you eat pls
I have Hovis Pumpkin and Sunflower seed at 9g per slice or Hovis Seeded (in the orange packaging) at 13g carbs per slice. I used to enjoy Tesco High Protein at 9g per slice but they changed the recipe so I’m not keen on it anymore. I find that one slice loaded with filling is enough.

Diet drinks - the artificial sweeteners taste vile.
Having to forswear foods I have loved all my life.
Trying to find low carb meals when eating out.
Haven't read the article, but is this saying that if your body can convert starch to sugar very quickly then you can manage loads of carbs but if you have a low GI body which converts starch to sugar more slowly then you can't handle a load of carbs?
If so that sounds counter intuitive.
