Toktokkie - Exactly....
I am with u 100 percent of the way.
As far as the High,Med, Low Glycaemic index I was talking about,these indexes are not just for carbs its for all foods, i.e. meat, fruit, veg etc. It does not mean u cut out or cut down on the carbs at all. Basically its just balancing the right type of carb
intake(i.e.simplex or complex carbs) not cutting it out entirely or minimising the intake, plus its balancing other foods like,for example,red meat/beef in particular has a high glycaemic index,oily fish has a Low Glycaemic index.
Anyway, enough of this blether,blether....mumbo jumbo...
The main thing is to remember, eat whatever u like as long as its in moderation.....(eg. instead of eating a whole bar of choc at once, have one or 2 blocks), make omelettes with egg whites as opposed to the yolk, or even use one yolk and the rest whites.)
'Moderation' is the main key.
