[QUOTE="HpprKM, post: 67243, member: 14660"] I think I am getting the hang of this in one sense, I had been on the starchy foods, i.e. potatos, rice, pasta etc, then found the low carbs post and found that all I had been led to believe were good for me were perhaps not! It seems that the low GI and low carbs varies from person-to- person and is a matter of experimentation. Not sure what small portions are either, I never have eaten large portions of anything, for example with dinner last night I had four small potatos (at least 4 parts of cut potatos), never really liked potatos that much anyway - so always mashed them, however I did not mash them (as I understand this leads to them breaking down into glucose more rapidly reaching the blood stream (am I right)?
