G.I. Diet and Betalife
My s/o and I are looking to start the GI diet and after doing some
searching I find that an Australian company offers a GI basted diet called Betalife. I'd be grateful for any feedback on experiences on general GI diets or Betalife in particular. Thanks, Mike |

If not, give that it advertises it boosts metabolism, I would say it's either a fraud or it has thyroid hormone in it. If your thyroid hormone level is normal, taking thyroid hormone puts you at risk for heart problems. There is no diet that can change how your thyroid works. Exercise will build muscle and burn fat, and since muscle is what burns calories, this will increase how many calories you burn when resting. But you can't rest all the time and build muscle, and no food builds muscle without exercise. So if you're doing this on a doctor's advice, talk to the doctor. Otherwise put the money into a couple pairs of athletic shoes and start working out. |

I'm fully aware of the somewhat simplified advice you give and actively follow it (already working out). I'm not asking about some metabolism boosting hormone or compound but am trying to research a diet based on the Glycemic Index foods (also known as good carbs). I undestand it is a well balanced and healthy approach to structuring an eating plan containg a wide variety of whole, unrefined foods and wondered if any others would care to pass on their experiences of it, I didn't ask and don't need to be told the benefits of excersize by you.
