Default Checking the Glycemic Index of Food is healthier than a low Carbohydrate diet

Congrats on the 85 pounds! The real challenge, however, will be
keeping it off. White bread and potatoes may cause your blood sugar to
spike - when it crashes it causes undue hunger.


Not for everybody. I don't eat much white bread because I like whole wheat
better. But I haven't taken potatoes out of my diet. Like all foods, I've
cut back on portion size.

You've resisted this
hunger so far - but your body is going to want to go back to your
equilibrium weight. White bread and potatoes may increase that
equilibrium weight. You're not out of the woods until you've kept the
weight off for five years. Why not make that easier to do? Hope you
are also exercising one hour a day.


I hope you take at least one day off a week from exercising. It's good for
your body to have a rest day.
