I'm thinking of starting on one. Won't be a strict diet plan but will be trying to eat low GI food where possible. Has anyone tried this?

I'd go one up and go for a low GL diet. Low Glycemic Load not only gives an indication if the carbohydrate content of a food and how quickly it will raise blood sugar levels but also the quantity of carbohydrate contained. So Low GL is a more effective tool.

Get a good book with some good recipes and it is a good healthy eating guide as not only good for weight management but protective from conditions such as diabetes type 2.

All the best!

Thanks I've bought a book on low GL diets and think I'll give it a try

You'll have to keep us posted with how you get on!

of the "diets" its the best. based on simple science.

Only work with exercise though - as with any weight loss plan
