Hi all. I just got the GI diet book. I understand you are supposed to eat off the green light list to lose weight. Supposedly this list contains low GI food.
I am confused why you can have brown rice (with a GI rating of 55) and wild rice (GI rating of 87) but not converted rice which has a GI rating of 38?
Also, new potatoes are green light (GI rating of 57) but sweet potatoes are NOT allowed (GI rating of 44)?
This is very confusing to me.

The thread limit is supposed to be 200, we should probably start a new thread since we're in the 300's...

This is very confusing to me. | I havnt gotten the book yet but i really am curious too about what u said. I look things up online but i guess it wouldnt be as good and safe as the book.
