I have decided to try and combine Low GI foods with slimming world.
I was recently diagnosed with PCOS and Low GI is the recommended diet plan. Actually looking at the Low GI they are quite similar in some areas, but obviously some free foods on Slimming World are High GI, so am going to try avoiding those and see how my weight loss goes.
Also instead of the 1/3 superfree, the Low GI recommends 1/2 of your plate with low GI vegetables and then a 1/4 with your low GI protein i.e. meat/fish and a 1/4 with your low GI carbs i.e wholewheat rice/pasta. Potatoes seem to be a no no though. Alot of the usual lentils/pulses etc are fine though.
Surprisingly though avocado is a low GI food (quarter of one) as are some oils like olive oils, canola etc. It has been interesting seeing the differences.
I do really love Slimming World, but also want to try and get myself as healthy as possible in the long run, so if I can kind of combine the two, then great.
Does anyone else try and combine the two?
