why don't you look into doing the GI diet? it levels out your blood sugar levels, so you won't crave sweet things as much.

i wanted to try and do something healthy cos i have done 'silly diets' before. but was is the GI diet?

 

[mod-karen79]

you basically eat foods which are low on the glycemic index (GI) and this makes your blood sugar levels remain at a steady level.

for example, if you eat a chocolate bar this would make your blood sugar level shoot up, then it would crash soon after. when you crash you feel tired, irritable and also crave sugar...as your body wants to get your blood sugar level back up again. we mistake this for wanting to binge uncontrolably on sugary foods, but it's actually your body telling you it's crashed....so eating something like pasta would be a slow release carb (low GI), hence why you feel full for so long after eating it.

if you eat low GI foods they help to keep your blood sugar level at a steady constant. you feel fuller and you shouldn't crave sugary foods.

you could just remain on SW and look into low GI foods and try and base meals around it. that way you still get you sins

cool, thank you i shall Google GI

 

[mod-karen79]

there's a GI index forum on minimins....they'll be able to answer any questions about it better than me. i don't know a great deal about it, but i do personally eat pasta, etc. on days i feel like binging and it helps me 100%
