Glycemic Index Help

Eating According to the Glycemic Index?

Is it possible to offset a high GI food with a lower GI food? Like if I eat a banana but follow it with some low-fat mozzarella string cheese does that make it okay to eat the banana? Or if I eat some Total cereal but eat a grapefruit as well, does that even it out?

1. No, a high GI food will elevate your insulin accordingly regardless of what is consumed with it or after it.
2. One and-a-half wrongs don't make a right. Try half a banana; or Quaker Oats oatmeal (cylindrical box).
3. Its not gonna help you. You should you glycemic index of food to choose the low GI food.
