This will be a short post. I want to include a couple of links to articles about the Glycemic Index. On the journey I am taking Dr. Scott has wanted me to eat foods on the low side of the glycemic index, below 50. As this journey has progressed I have been allowed to add an occasional banana and even rice cakes. As I stated in the last post rice cakes are high on the index. I have been reading about the index and actually have looked a few items and then not eaten them because they were over 50. I know I wont totally stay away from things that are high on the index as time goes on I will just be careful.
The first article is titled simply Glycemic Index.....The Glycemic Index is a numerical index that ranks carbohydrates based on their rate of glycemic response....read more http://bit.ly/9oNOSf
