| Anyone know anything about the low-glycemic index diet? It sounds similar to SBD. |

I was just looking for information about this one and I found your post.
Are you talking about "The new Glucose Revolution" by Jennie Brand-Miller?
I would also like to have some feed back about it. |

The low glycemic diet is simular to SBD in the way that the foods are chosen by the actions that the foods have on the insulin response of the body.
By choosing foods that are low on the glycemic index, the insulin response is kept low and thus the potential for foods to be stored as fats is lowered.
I favour this type of eating for my PT clients.
Help at all? |

| I read a few of the New Glucose Revolution Books and it is very similar to SBD. SBD is a low-glycemic diet, balancing good carbs and good fats. The lower glycemic diet is especially good for those with insulin resistance/prediabetes. Huge help--can even keep you from getting diabetes if you make a real change! |

| I was wondering if anyone else had tried a low GI diet and if so, what makes it similar and different to SB? There seem to be a few different ones out there, plus some that talk about glycemic load instead of glycemic index. I'm pretty happy with SB but am curious to know the similarities and differences and what people think about the different diets. |

| I don't know about the GI diet specifically, but if glycemic impact (GI or GL) is the only aspect that is looked at for a food, you can end up with a lot of unhealthy choices. For instance, lard is extremely low GI, but that doesn't make it healthy or a good choice for losing weight! SB brings so many concepts together into a balanced meal plan, which is why it works. |
