SBD and Glycemic Load
Ok Ladies,
I have been reading the book and find it very interesting, but I do have a question about the glycemic index and glycemic load. GI was first, but in the last few years GL has come to the fore in that it takes not just the sugar and carb content in account, but also the fibre content. What this basicly means, is that a carrot, for eg, has a high GI, but a low GL! I do know that Dr Agatston has become more leniant with veggies for Phase I, but I was just wondering about the difference.
Thanks
