agree, cut down on the carbs, and aim to ensure the carbs you do include are low GI.

what is a good example of a Low GI carb ?

are fresh potatoes a Low GI carb ?

 

[Sonya73]

It depends on the type of potato - for example, new potatoes are low GI, but mashed potatoes are not!
this list might be handy - The GI Diet - List of low GI foods

There's lots of general info about the GI diet on the site linked by Sonya above too ^^

My personal favourite low GI carb is wholewheat pasta, and fresh egg penne! I also love the seeded cereal pittas from the Food Doctor but I'm not sure of their GI content (if they're low or medium).

Hello all - I have been doing slimming world for 3 months now and have lost over 30lbs. I am a huge breadaholic but ration myself to wholemeal pitta a couple of times a week but do still indulge in pasta and rice occassionally. teh best part is that my usual one period every 9 months is now one every 5 weeks )
Happy happy
Good luck all

hmm, I am now having a period every three weeks, regular as clockwork... I preferred it when they were every few months to be honest!!

However, having said that, irregular periods were unpredictable, and I had some very prolonged periods too, which were awful, so at least they are predictable now!

For me Slimming World is working a treat but everybody is different with regards to which diet you can get your head round and fits around your life.

I hope some of that makes sense

Gi diet. Recomended by nurse at surgery .

I've tried everything and nothing worked until my GP recommended low Carb.

Even GI didn't work for me but I definitely think its a great place to start.
