Good thought Lili, but even more important than the GI is to eat SMALL

PORTIONS.

The body can handle a bit of fast release foods as long as it's only the

amount the body requires for fuel at the moment.

Any excess calls upon insulin to convert the glucose to glycogen and then

your insulin side effects begin:

see:

Please note that the above information appears on Dr. Mercola's site, and I

don't recommend his approach to diet as he is self serving and sells his own

stuff, like fish oil and grass fed beef,.but this article is based on Dr.

Rosedale's approach and he is one of the foremost authorities on insulin and

it's metabolic effects. Please read all 4 pages carefully.

For your Glycemic index here's a quick reference table:
