I don’t agree with the drastically low carb diets such as Atkins, I do like to include low gi diet fruits and non-starchy vegetables.. I want to lose weight sensibly so it will stay off ! I only need to lose 10 pounds. I am very active so need to be realistic here !
I am talking about grams of carbohydrate NOT calories !

andrea b asked:
My husband just discovered he’s got gout, and at 32, 180cm and 105kg he also needs to diet and loose weight. I was just about to convince him to go on the GI diet when we discovered he’s had a couple of gout attacks (and he does love his beer/wine and food in general).
Now i’ve been looking at the foods that you’re supposed to either have or avoid for gout and the ones in the GI diet, and they’re a bit contrary (not to mention different sources on gout some say asparagus, lentils, etc are ok som say they’re bad).
To be back to where he was before doing his knee in, he’d need to lose about 20k, i’m happy if he at least loses 10-15 for health reasons (plust gout at 32 is freaking me out!); what diet could take care of both?
Thanks

sb asked:
This is the second time in three months that she has been to the vet for this. She stops eating and begins to vomit bile. The vet has taken xrays, and done a scope down through her stomach to find ulcers. He said he has no idea what is causing them. .. maybe anxiety? She is just 12 months old and I don’t want her whole life to be like this. Could her rawhide treats be causing it? She is on a very strict diet and eats ONLY her dog food and water.
mstevenson_05 asked:
I have polycystic overies and am taking medication called metphormin. I have been told to stay on the GI diet. Do you have any tips in how to make myself feel full quickly and any other tips in trying to lose weight as I can’t seem to lose the weight as easily as a normal person who is overweight.

Hi, I need advice on the best diet book for me. I was looking into SouthBeach, Harley Pasternak, the Supermarket diet, the GI diet, anything that might help me shed some extra pounds. I want something that will be a long lasting. I exercise and do pilates 6 days a week, and I usually keep my calorie intake to about less than 1400 with fruits and veges, whole wheat, and fish. I just want some variety. If you had any good results from a certain diet with lasting effects, please tell me. Thank you so much.
