You'll have to help me out as to what you are trying to say. I just didn't know pumpkin was high on the GI. a half a cup of of pumpkin puree has a carb count of 9. When you minus the 5 grams of fiber, you have 4 effective carbs, but that doesn't mean it's low GI. Your equation there is just the formula for net carbs which is the common term for "net" carbs.

A little confused to your reply.

I just feel the need to respone to this post. My Dh and I found this "special treat to be so special".. The one thing to remember folks that this is NOT A DIET BUT A WAY OF EATING!!!! I made this and my Hubby and I enjoyed this for three special desert and actaly still LOST weight!!!! You need to except this as a way of eating and NOT a diet!!! We just adusted our menu for the next day and allowed for the extra special treat. It is my understanding this is what this plan is all about! I happen to LOVE pumpkin and found this one of the MOST enjoyable treats I have had since starting this plan on Aut. 11th!

thanks rhonda, this is good information and makes a lot of sense, sometimes my only measure of fiber is how quick my son's diaper fills up, and pumpkin will do it! looking forward to trying the treat in p2. :) janet

In my opinion, the shouting and negative tone in your email isn't cool. Did you mean it to sound this way?

Yes, this is a WOE, but when it comes right down to it, I want to be informed as to my best choices. Yes, I will have a treat now and again because that is my option. I know how to adjust here and there, but I don't do it with food. I do my adjusting with exercise. That is my way of doing things.

In response to your comment about SBD and the philosophy... "We just adusted our menu for the next day and allowed for the extra special treat. It is my understanding this is what this plan is all about!"... In my most humble opinion, this WOE is about making the right choices for a healthier body and life. It's about choosing wheat over white, Brown rice of over white rice, an apple over pineapple... etc. The pumpkin issue came up because of a calculation, and a few questions wondering if pumpkin was high on the GI. It is high, but it may or may not mess with your system. Me, I seem to be doing all right. You, you seem to be doing all right. however, someone else might have a bodily problem. It happens.

There seems to be a lot of experience and brain power on this board. Lots of people trying lots of different things. If your post wasn't intended to be negative, then I do apologize. No one was telling you not to eat your pudding. We were all trying to figure out the ins and outs of the pudding.

Have a good evening,

Ria

Glad you found it helpful! Loved your way of measuring fiber. I remember those days. Enjoy them while you can. My baby started high school this year.

I must say, I have to respond to you post with a "what the...?" I asked for people to help me feel better about it. Not to be spoken down to. People have questions about beer, fruit, milk, lattes, coffed, soda, etc and i've never answered anyone with the response like you gave me. I've never said this was a diet. It hasn't affected my weight either but I wanted to make sure I wasn't going too far down the wrong road. I may have read your post wrong, but the all caps and the assumption I thought it was a diet was a little disheartening to read. It was a reply to my name so if it was meant for everyone and not just me, okay.

I'm fully aware that it is a lifestyle change. I've been doing this for three months and was doing this while I was pregnant although it didn't have a name. I was concerned because I was shocked to find pumpkin so high. I know some might eat this everyday and think it was along the same lines as an apple or cherries which are very low on the GI scale. I'm with you about adjusting your workout schedule to counteract something that may have an adverse affect on your weight. I've been telling people that on this board since I started. Thanks for the advice if it was intended for me but I've never seen this as a "diet" and haven't meant to portray it as that.

I don't think anyone needs to feel apologetic for referring to this plan as a diet. Whether we call it a diet or a way of eating is really just semantics, and even though the plan wasn't created to be a "diet" per se, the name of the book IS The South Beach DIET.

Sorry if I offended anyone. It was not my intent to be negative.
