[QUOTE="CathyN, post: 329740, member: 45197"] Hi Just considering whether or not to try the Patrick Holford LOW GL method but have a few concerns. Some of the menu options on the diet look as if they will spike me quite badly. ( like eating 4 oatcakes at breakfast for example ). I realise that it is the combination of foods on the plate that is what appears to make the diet work - but am worried that it will raise rather than lower my Blood Glucose. I am on a lowish carb diet at present but am on the verge of losing too much weight ( 5'1 and 8st 6lbs ) and the Holford book keeps talking about mega weight loss which I don't need. Has anyone been on this low GL regime? If so, what effect did it have for you and were you are you happy on it? My last HbA1c was 5.9% but I feel I have had a bit of a honeymoon period and things are seemingly not as easy as they were - i.e my sugars seem a little higher in the last few weeks which has prompted me to look into low GL. Your thoughts would be gratefully received - just feeling a bit overwhelmed and slightly negative!!! Cheers Cathy N [/QUOTE]
