Is it true… I heard that you can eat any thing you want, even if they are high, low, or below index foods. You have to offset the high index foods with low or below with protein,and moderate portions , five times a day. Need to know? what is glycemic profile,compared to glycemic index?

Atkins is a step in the right direction (less carbs), but misses the boat when you end up eating too much protein and fat. Our bodies thrive on vegetable and fruits and any diet that restricts those essential nutrients because of some artificial level of carbohydrates you are supposed to have every day can only lead to illness in the future.

Charity,

Yes, you got it right. Zuchinni and squash are ok as well.

Good luck!

Dr. Olson-

I did see that packed carrots have sugar as well as frozen brussel sprouts. So in order to follow the diet as closely as possible all vegetables should be purchased raw in their original form (no baby carrots that are pre-packaged) and then cooked if you want them cooked, correct. Also what about zuchinni and yellow squash are they ok?

Charity,

I think you should balance your cooked vegetables with as many raw vegetables as possible. Carrots and Brussels sprouts do contain sugars (as do most fruits and vegetables), but they are okay to eat (unless you are talking about packaged carrots that have added sugars).

I’m confused, is it ok to eat cooked vegetables or should they always be raw? Also things like carrotts and brussel sprouts have sugar in them on the label so why are they ok to eat?

I’ve found some really good tasting recipes at http://www.lowglycemicrecipes.net They have breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. And they’re always adding new ones. They list carb amount, calories, fat, fiber content, Glycemic Index (GI), Glyco Load (GL). I haven’t seen any other sites that offer the GI and GL together in their recipes. Good site if you’re looking for new ideas and good info.
