Glycemic Index Diet questions (about pasta/potatoes)

  • Hi all,
    I just bought the GI Diet book today and am interested in trying it. The only thing I don't understand is how pasta and white potatoes are so prevalent throughout the diet.

    I have always been aware of how carbs hit my system, and basically anything like pasta, rice and white potatoes never keep me satisfied, and I am hungry like an hour later.

    The rest of the GI diet makes sense to me, but this pasta and rice business does not.

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks!
