Okay, I finally got the book and now I am more confused than ever!! Mostly about the Glycemic Index. All through the book he tells you what's good and bad and then when you get to the glycemic table it seems like it contradicts itself? Like white bread, rice and potatoes...the index # is really not that significant of a difference from the wheat bread and wild rice. Or is it? How significant is a few points? And it tells you, you shouldn't eat beets but the are lower than tomatoes and the same as most of the other veggies, so what gives? Those were just a few that I remembered off the top of my head but there are more.

I know we don't count carbs, calories or fat grams but should we be eating each meal at a certain index level or something? I'm not sure why they mention the glycemic index if it's not important enough to keep track of. I'm just really confused! I've been on since 12/01 but didn't have the book then. I guess ignorance really is bliss :o) I really love this way of eating but I didn't think it'd become this hard. If anyone could shed a little light would be great!!
