| Hey, great post. One thing I have noticed about this list: the high GI foods seem to be much more palatable than the low GI ones. Like many other people on AM, I like to eat, a lot. But things like bagels and gatorade now appear worse than pure dextrose, so I'm not quite sure how to proceed.
Rice bran has nearly as much fiber as carb, and I want people to see my progress, not smell it.
With this in mind, I will pick out a few selections from each list that appear reasonably palatable and have a GI under 75...
Mixed grain bread 64
Cake, banana loaf 67
Cake, sponge 66
Rice, instant, boiled for 1 min. 65
Apple 52
Apricots, dried 44
Spaghetti, white 59
From this list, apricots look like a winner. 3 apricots contain: Total Carbohydrate 11g, Dietary Fiber 1g.
I don't claim to be a nutrition expert, but apricots seem to pop out from this list as a food that is relatively low GI, and have a relatively low risk of causing gastrointestinal (the other GI) discomfort.
That said, I will pick up some dried apricots next time I am at the health food store. Does anyone else have suggestions for low GI foods that taste good and don't have too much fiber? |
