purchased the book "Glycemic Revolution" and have read most of it, but
I am confused about what to use -- the GI or GL.At first the GI seemed the easiest to use, but then I read about how
even if a food has a high GI, if it has low carb count, then it has a
small impact on our insulin levels.Therefore, to me, the GL seems to be the way to go. Now, am I supposed
to choose low GL foods with moderate-to-high carbohydrate count (and a
low GI), or a food that has low carbs and a low GL?
that's entirely up to what works best for you. The version of the GI diet
book I have indicates that you can chose either, but not combine them, so
you are either having a protein based Low carb meal, or a carbohydrate based
meal from the acceptable foods list. It also prescribes that the observe the
correct ammount of hours between changing from one to the other to ensure
that your system has had time to process the other first.
