- I am eating healthily and exercising, basing my idea of healthy on low GI and have lost nearly a stone so far. I have oats for breakfast, and then healthy vegetarian food with lots of pulses, vegetables, veggie sausages etc as my main meals. I still eat pasta and couscous and other grains but not too big portions. For snacks I have yoghurt and fruit. I still have a treat like a biscuit or a square of chocolate everyday but you could be stricter if you liked. Try to add cinnamon to sweet things as it lowers your blood sugar. I got a helpful cookbook - Rose Elliot's 'Low-GI Vegetarian cookbook' and it has loads of info on GI of foods but there are loads of other books if you're not vegetarian. I find this a really easy way to eat as you can eat normal food and its healthy and you constantly have energy. I'm hoping to gradually lose about another stone this way. Good luck xxx
- I used the Glycemic Load diet - the GI is supposed to have higher ratings for foods, the GL rating is supposedly more accurate. GL foods release their energy in a slower, controlled way so no energy spike then slump - you know if you eat a biscuit, you are all perked up then 10mins later you want more, etc etc. I achieved about a stone weightloss and it was so easy, no hunger pangs at all. If you buy a GL book you can check out the GL of absolutely everything and from that, make up your own food combos.
