Hi All,

I'm new to these board, but I have done a ton of reading and see a specialist in NYC, one of the best around. His site is www.hormonehelpny.com

I hear everyones dilemas with dieting and many of the books contradict themselces. I read a book (the second link) that says to follow a low glycemic index diet and then I read another book (the first link) that says to eat a loyw glycemic LOAD diet. Problem is a lot of these food contradict each other.

For example, the low load diet prohibits virtually ALL breads and rice, even wheat because the author says something to the effect that eating any of it (even wheat) is like eating a plate of sugar. The other doctor says you should eat slow digesting carbs with almost every meal. Two totally different viewpoints.

One example is carrots. They have a high glycemic index rating, but a low glycemic load rating! The author of the low gylcemic load diet says he has never known anyone to get fat eating carrots! The low G-LOAD diet is much stricter, but I am doing a little of both now. I had great success last year losing 45 pounds eating low carb, low sugar. I gained about 25 pounds back though after falling off the wagon.

I am back on it and limiting my carb intake to a piece of whole wheat or whole sprouted bread or a little bit of whole wheat pasta. Not eating much more than veggies (vegatable soup), fruit salads with a little honey, cashews, tuna fish and some stuff like that. I also switched to all organic and started doing a lot of shopping online at edensoy.com and other similar sites. Many of these foods are gluten-free, sugar-free, wheat-free, etc. It's rather expensive, but figure in the long run will be much cheaper than doctors bills if I remain overweight. The dieting is not fun, but I have to do it at least until I reach my goal weight of 150 and those sites with some of the pre-made foods make it a little easier. My weight loss should take me at least 7-10 months, so please email me if you want to talk about your success!

Best,
Kay
