NO, I didn't - you wrote all that I have quoted below. Mind how you
trim! I believe cider vinegar is supposed to have some kind of
weight-loss effect, but I've no idea how it works.

If you take vinegar with high clicemic foods. It will bring the GI
value down 25 - 50% !! I have experimented with this. I took 2
tablespoons before a chinese lunch. Then 2 more spoon fulls after. I
stayed satisfied 3 hours longer than I do when I take no vinegar.
Apple cider is the one in question. I have tried this with white
potatoes and rice also. The effect seems to be the same. For me. Some
say lemon juice will do the same. I can't confirm this. And I can only
give my experience. This by no means eating cake and cookies all day
is fine as long as you take vinegar.. And I would rather have wheat
products and sweet potatoes. I'm just giving results of tests I have
made.

Default G I Diet

The GI (Glycemic Index) diet is about choosing food, based it's it
affect on your blood sugar. Basically, it's the 'foundation' on which
most low carb diets are based (Atkins, South Beach, Zone etc.)

It's more popular in Europe, and in Australia the GI information is
part of the nutrition labelling.

It was generally considered 'too complicated' for the American market,
and so Atkins is like 'The GI Diet for Dummies' . No offense meant at
to my American friends (I love ya to death)... by 'for dummies' I mean
simplified ala the 'For Dummies' series of books.

I think The Zone most closely approximates the GI Diet and deals with
how combining foods affect blood sugar differently than when eating a
particular food individually... though 'The Zone' is also considered
'too complicated' by many.

In the opinions of some (I'm not commenting personally) Atkins is a
'GI Diet' gone wrong, oversimplified too much, with the result that it
excludes many good foods that would be allowed on GI, and allows many
'bad' foods simply because they are low in carbs. On the other hand,
it's (Atkins) easy to follow - and what good is a diet that isn't
followed? Advantage Atkins: easy to follow. Advantage GI: less
restrictive.

Jeanie Miller-Brand is one of the leading expert on the GI diet.

There have been a lot of good answers to this question already. For a
listing of glycemic indexes of various foods, you might want to look at
http://www.glycemicindex.com/. There is also a decent article about the
various popular diet plans at
http://www.cspinet.org/nah/01_04/cover.pdf. This article include an
interview with Thomas Wolever and an explanation of glycemic index.
Here's an excerpt from the article:

"But unlike the other books, The New Glucose Revolution was written by
scientists who have actually studied the glycemic index. In fact, one of
its authors, Thomas Wolever of the University of Toronto, was one of the
researchers who helped devise the scale.

"The glycemic index is no magic bullet for dieters, says Wolever.
“I’ve yet to see evidence that a low-GI diet aids weight loss,” he
explains. “One or two studies show it and a number of others don’t.”
