Glycemic Foods Index

I need to lose 10 pounds quick! Would this be a good way?

Probably as good a way as any to reduce your total calorie intake, which is the only way to lose weight in the first place.

Here's a website that has a list: http://www.diabetesnet.com/diabetes_food_diet/glycemic_index.php

http://www.lowglycemicdiet.com/gifoodlist.html

that has a comprehensive food list and their GI/GL values?

Or a really good website?

Potato chips, candy, white rice, french fries, sugary soft drinks, potatos, white bread, cake…do you get it? Simple carbohydrates. If it has refined sugar or white flour and no fiber, it's high.

How do I utilize the index of low glycemic foods? What combintaions work best (protein, carb, milk/dairy, etc) ? Are there comprehensive lists available? What "low glycemic foods" do I avoid? I suspect I'm a borderline diabetic and need help reducing the stress my body is subject to when I don't eat properly.

Diabetics (like moi) have to watch how much sugar they eat. Normally you say things like "a gram of sugar is a gram of carb" so that's easy to understand. Other foods that contain sugar and carbs have an index- a ratio of how many grams of carbs are in a portion of food. Anything with a nutrition label tells you how many grams of carbs you're eating. (Look at a Coke and realize that's about an entire day's ration of carbs.) Most fruit is less than 100% carb, but you need to know the glycemic index. For example, a 50-gram apple might have 30 grams of carbs or 35 grams. (Depends on the apple, the variety, etc.)

For glycemic index to do you any good, you need to know 1) the amount of food you're talking about- like the apple's weight and 2) the index or ratio. If something has a glycemic index of .60, that's a start. You need to know what the weight of your portion is to use the index sensibly.
