What Are Some Soft And Low Glycemic Index Foods? Hi, I had oral surgery earlier today, and was instructed to eat only soft foods, like jello and ice cream. The problem is, I have extreme reactive hypoglycemia, and can only eat low Glycemic Index foods, and, at most, around ten grams of sugar per day. The majority of foods which fit this diet plan, i.e. lean meats, vegetables, and nuts, are tough to eat. I was wondering if anyone knew some foods which are both soft and have a Low Glycemic index...

Low Glycemic Index diet? Hi, about six weeks ago I did some research on PubMed and found a dietary "cure" for my acne. Basically this diet requires me to only eat foods with a low glycemic index. The reasoning behind this is that high insulin levels have been linked to production of DHT (dihydroxytestosterone) which overstimulates sebaceous glands and causes acne. This makes alot of sense because my family has a history of type 2 diabetes meaning I probably have some form of insulin resistance. This diet has worked wonders for me and my complexion and energy levels are through the roof. The problem is: I recently joined the navy and I will be leaving for boot camp in a few months. I don't want to use antibiotics as a crutch again, so I was wondering if anybody could give me some insight on the typical diet given to recruits during basic training. Are there alot of carbohydrates and foods with a high glycemic index?

Why do certain high protein, low carb foods have low glycemic index but HIGH INSULIN INDEX? This idea perplexes me. Here's a quote from Wikipedia that I am having trouble grasping: "Rather than relying on blood glucose levels, the Insulin Index is based upon the insulin response to various foods, and seems to be more promising than either the Glycemic Index or the Glycemic Load. The primary reason for this is that certain foods (e.g., lean meats and proteins) seem to cause an insulin response despite there being no carbohydrates present. Additionally, other foods seem to cause a disproportinate insulin reaction for its carbohydrate load."

Does trail mix (comprised of dried fruit and nuts) have a low glycemic index? I know that fats, protein, and fiber act as buffers to slow down the absorption of the sugars into the bloodstream. For trail mix, this means that the simple sugars in the dried fruit are absorbed more slowly due to the high fat and protein content of the nuts, and the high fiber content of both the nuts and the dried fruit. But since dried fruit is still very high in simple sugars, I was wondering by how much the gylcemic index is lowered when nuts are added to the mix (50 % dried fruit, 50% nuts). Thanks.
