Glycemic Index List
| Thu, 10-09-2003 - 9:15am |
Hi all! I thought I would share a website I found that has a great Glycemic Index (GI) list. I am about the enter P2, and am finding this list very helpful. Good Luck!

Thanks for the information! I love the chart format - it really helps identify the worst of the worst and the best of the best.

I noticed that sweet corn is a low GI food, why is it a vegetable to be avoided?

Hope you like this. I use it once in a while as I have a GI reference book that I look at. Maryann

example:
rice: 1c of cooked instant rice has a GI value of 87 and contains 37 carbs.
Glycemic Load will be (87x37) divided by 100=32. How that Helps. Maryann
I've been lurking for almost two weeks now. I'm loving this way of eating, and about to enter phase 2 on Monday. I did not weigh myself from the start, though now I realize the scale plays a part when finding out what does and does not work. Anyway, I have over 50 pounds to loose, so I'm in it for the long haul. My problem is I just don't get the concept of the glycemic load or understand what the equation is explaining/telling me. I actually thought about staying on phase 1 with the exception of adding Red wine, because I'm confused. Can you decipher this for me? ......and thank you for all the kind words and suggestions you have provided others. They have helped me too.

Moderate)
Example:If your aiming for 250 grams of carbs. per day and you want to use 1/2 of your carbs to come from the low GI(<55) list and the other 1/2 from Moderate(65) your total for the whole day would be the glycemic load of 250x55/100=138 (rounded up) or 250x65/100=163(rounded up). Hope I didn't confuse you as I'm new at it myself.Hugs Maryann
