It makes a lot of sense what you say, but it really pisses me off when companies appear to be one thing and really they have someone else they answer to. I suppose they also have to please the people that pay them.
The only reason I thought that the GI was being withheld is that I had a chat with an Australian and he said that the GI is marked on most foods. That is when I looked into it but during my experiments had contradictory results. So I thought I would define my own Index and now have it in the back of my mind on the foods I can and cannot eat. I really think I feel better when I avoid the spikes at all costs. I am still trying to shed another 10 lbs, the hardest ten pounds to try to get my BMI under 25 (I am now at 26). Not that I agree with the definitions of overweight & obese but I guess I have just challenged myself.It took me 3 years to lose 10 lbs and then 3 months to lose another 20.
Philosophically I am fine with eating animal proteins, but I try to have them a third to a quarter of my total meal. The rest of course will be veg & fruit.
It really sounds like you have done your research as well as your own tests, I truly admire you for that. I see from your profile that you have just recently finished your first year so you must have either had experience with others’ diabetes or you really got busy trying to figure this all out.
Thanks for the comments.
