[QUOTE="FordPrefect, post: 106270, member: 21168"] Take a look at the GI diet its a very good place to start. The methology is good although every person is different. You need to consider your portion sizes and make sure you eat a variety of foods. Try to have smaller portion sizes for a start. Then you really need to test for yourself. My experience is that oats dont affect me badly. Wholemeal bread is pretty much the same as white bread so I try to avoid them both now. I normally have the burgen soya and linseed loaf or a grannery loaf both of which have a limited effect on my blood sugar. I find that potatoes are very variable but are nowhere near as bad as the GI diet suggests however rice of an sort including basmati is a no go for me as my levels go through the roof need to try again now I am on byetta but still its something I am going to avoid. Pasta again I find to be OK except I normally really like my pasta and have too big a portion! Dont forget energy density though as losing weight is the possibly the best thing you can do to affect your situation. [/QUOTE]
