#308-28-2006, 08:01 PMin general, yes.
i do avoid/limit hi glycemic cereals and breads and stuff like corn, patatos magoes etc.
i love pumpernickel bread so that one was easy
i dont think it helps you lose weight per se, but i think it definately helps when it comes to controlling your sugar levels and preventing insulin resistance.
these days with whole wheat/grain everything - its really not that difficult.Comment

#408-28-2006, 08:30 PMi dont. high glycemic and low glycemic carbs serve their purpose. some people claim they're carb sensitive. i dont exactly agree. Carb sensitive is a rough one to define, because people simply say this a lot an an "excuse" as to why they are overweight. Truth be told they are "FOOD SENSITIVE". They eat 1000 lbs. of pasta, then claim they are carb sensitive! http://www.vizualxcellence.com/vb3/i.../biglaugha.gif
Overeating high glycemic carbs is a bad idea. Overeating high glycemic carbs with fat in the meal, is an even worse idea. Carb sensitive people I would say are those who have very abnormal spikes with medium to high gi foods, and store most of it as fat w/out the body having a chance to use it as energy first. Insulin just goes sky high, takes the glucose and stores it in fat cells before it can be used by the body for energy. Thus, carb sensitive people usually stick to low glycemic carbs and/or low carb type diets to lower the insulin surges and prohibit the body from storing fat.Comment

#1009-19-2006, 05:16 PMAs already mentioned above, high GI foods have a purpose and so do low GI. It's all about when the energy levels are required and when not. Building your eating habits around physical activity quickly brings into light how important high GI foods can be and when they are appropriate.
I don;t agree with this article.
But I'm not one to talk though, I eat anything I can get my hands on... I have a very very fast metabolism....Comment
