- Dunno. Strange question.
I am now WHOLLY CONFUSED, and I mean WHOLLY. I'm reading The New Glucose Revolution, which was updated from the 1990's to the latest in 2003, and so we're now talking 15 years old...but I was duped into thinking this is helpful...or is it?
The book is promoting slow carb eating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Obviously against eating too much red meat, even the non-processed. I'm sure that we've moved on from this, right, but the one thing that niggles my mind is this: avoiding sugar spikes by having slow release carbohydrate foods (all very suspect to me - porridge?!?!?!) is better for you than...???
Can anyone seriously shed light for me on this? I do see the logic in understanding the difference between low carb versus low GI foods, and there IS a difference. I mean, it explains why when I had to 'slip' for a friend's engagement and have a piece of cheesecake, breaking my Newcastle Diet regime, my blood sugar did NOT spike overnight. But...what's a girl to think or do?
Please shed light, if you can.
Thank you,
MM
