Here is a great article about the low GL Diet written by Patrick Holford. I have two of his Low GL diet books (the Low-GL Diet Bible, and the Low-GL Diet Cookbook), and they're great. He really explains the diet and how it works wonderfully. Mind you I don't do any counting of how many GI or GLs a food has anymore. So I'm not doing it super strict, because if you follow it very strictly you can lose about 2 lbs a week. Here is the link the original article http://www.vitalitymagazine.com/food-features/the-low-glycemic-load-diet/
Food Features
The Low Glycemic Load Diet
A Secret to Successful Weight Loss
The secret to successful weight loss isn’t starving yourself, nor is it limiting your food choices or following a rigid pattern of eating. It is simply to keep your blood sugar balanced and your food choices healthy. This will not only help you lose weight, but will also give you more energy and plenty of welcome side effects, such as better skin, improved digestion, and enhanced mood. You can even reverse diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol.
Stable blood sugar is crucial for successful weight loss and feeling good, because when your blood sugar is too high, you gain weight, and when it’s too low, you feel lethargic.
After 20 years of research into healthy eating, nutrition, and weight loss, I’ve discovered that the best way to achieve stable blood sugar is to eat a low glycemic load diet.
Glycemic Load – or GL for short – is a unit of measurement, much like grams, litres, centimetres, and calories. GLs are used to measure the amount of sugar and starch in food, and their impact on the body. They show how much carbohydrate there is in each food (and therefore how much glucose it will create and release into the bloodstream as blood sugar) and how fast the carbohydrate will break down into glucose (and therefore how quickly your blood sugar levels will rise).
This information is important because blood sugar levels are linked to hunger and the way we eat. When you haven’t eaten for a while, your blood sugar level will dip, and you will become hungry. When you eat a food containing carbohydrate, glucose is released into your bloodstream and your blood sugar level will rise again. The key to achieving your perfect weight is to keep your blood sugar levels stable. To do this, you need to eat healthy foods that provide you with glucose in the right quantities.
Low-GL foods release their glucose more slowly, so you maintain stable energy levels for longer. When you eat a low-GL diet: You will stop producing more glucose than you can use, so you won’t gain fat; You won’t suffer from food cravings; Your body will be reprogrammed to burn fat rapidly; You will be able to lose weight and sustain your weight loss permanently.
You’ll find more scientific studies proving the effectiveness of my low GL approach for reversing diabetes and heart disease, as well as losing weight, at www.HolfordDiet.com.
1. Eat no more than 40 GLs a day
2, Eat protein with carbohydrate
3. Graze, don’t gorge
Your GL intake breaks down as 10 GLs each for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, plus 5 GLs for a mid-morning and mid-afternoon snack – so you eat (or graze) regularly instead of gorging at one or two big meals. Here’s what a typical day’s food intake could look like:
Breakfast (GL score)
A bowl of porridge (30g) 2 GLs
1/4 cup milk (coconut, cow, or nut) 2 GLs
Half a grated apple 3 GLs
A small tub of yogurt 2 GL
AM Snack – A bowl of strawberries 4 GL
Lunch – A substantial tuna salad, plus 3 oatcakes 11 GL
PM Snack – A pear and a handful of peanuts 4 GL
Dinner
Tomato soup, salmon, brown rice, and green beans 12 GL
Total GL score 40 GLs
To work out the GL score of different foods, refer to www.HolfordDiet.com, the Low GL Diet Bible, or The Holford Low-GL Diet Made Easy. You can also refer to the Holford Low GL Diet Cookbook. All books also provide lots of easy recipes and new food ideas, plus tips on exercise and supplements to enhance your program.
Meal balancing is also key. This means eating a combination of both carbohydrate and protein foods at every meal. It is an important concept at the heart of the low-GL diet. Protein foods (such as fish, eggs, meat, dairy, tofu, or pulses) have virtually no effect on blood sugar levels, and we only need small portions to feel full. This is the opposite of the effect of carbohydrate foods (such as sugars, cereals, grains, fruits, and vegetables).
However, protein foods are often high in fat, especially ‘bad’ fats rather than the omega-3 and omega-6 essential ‘good’ fats. Eaten on their own and in large quantities, protein foods are bad news for our health. But eating them with low-GL starchy carbohydrates and non-starchy vegetables results in high energy, low blood sugar, and optimum health, so you will feel less hungry for longer, lose more weight permanently, and supply your body with the essential fats that it needs for good health.
The easiest and most visual way to make protein-carb combining a part of your daily life is to keep your food in the following proportions:
• A quarter of each main meal should be protein.
• A quarter of each meal should be carbohydrate: starchy vegetables or other starchy foods.
• Half of each meal should be non-starchy vegetables.
A similar principle applies to snacks, which should comprise both protein (for example, 50 g of nuts or seeds) and low-GL carbohydrate (such as a pint of berries).
Recommended Protein foods include:
Organic tempeh, chicken (no skin), turkey (no skin), Quorn, salmon and trout, tuna (canned in brine), sardines (canned in brine), cod, clams, prawns, mackerel, oysters, yogurt (natural, low-fat), cottage cheese, hummus, skimmed milk, eggs (boiled), quinoa, baked beans, kidney beans, black-eyed beans, lentils.
Starchy vegetables include:
Organic Pumpkin/squash, cooked carrot, rutabaga, parsnip, cooked beet root, boiled potato, sweet potato, sweet corn, corn on the cob, baked potato, broad beans.
Starchy grains and pasta include:
Organic quinoa, cornmeal, pearl barley, bulgar, brown rice (ideally basmati), white rice, couscous, wholemeal pasta
Non-starchy vegetables include:
Alfalfa, asparagus, aubergine, bean sprouts, raw beet root, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, raw carrot, cauliflower, celery, courgette, cucumber, endive, fennel, garlic, kale, lettuce, mushrooms, onions, peas, peppers, radish, rocket, runner beans, spinach, spring onions, tomatoes, watercress.
-Eamon Weadwick
“When I tried to put on my wedding dress, I was horrified that I couldn’t get it on! I couldn’t believe that 28 lbs had crept on so easily. I started the Holford Low-GL Diet and was amazed that I was able to shed the weight so easily without feeling hungry. I lost 19 lbs over six weeks, lost 8 inches off my waist, and dropped two dress sizes. Everyone was completely astonished when they saw me six weeks later.” -Julie Watson

LOW GL IS SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN TO WORK
There is a wealth of evidence to support the positive benefits of a low-GL diet. In one study done in 1994, nutritionists tested two groups of 15 people. They put one group on a low-GL diet and the other group on a calorie-controlled diet. Both diets contained identical numbers of calories. During the first 12 weeks, both groups lost weight, but those on the low-GL diet lost an average of 1.9 kg (4 lb 3oz) more weight per person. During the second 12-week period, half the group members switched diets. Those on the low-GL diet lost an average of 2.9 kg (6 lb 6oz) more per person than those on the low-fat, low-calorie diet. Overall, those on the low-GL diet lost 40 percent more weight than those on a calorie-controlled diet.You’ll find more scientific studies proving the effectiveness of my low GL approach for reversing diabetes and heart disease, as well as losing weight, at www.HolfordDiet.com.
THREE SIMPLE RULES
The beauty of eating a low-GL diet is that you just don’t feel hungry. This is because you eat regularly and can have decent portions. A low-GL diet is also easy to follow. You just need to follow three golden rules:1. Eat no more than 40 GLs a day
2, Eat protein with carbohydrate
3. Graze, don’t gorge
Your GL intake breaks down as 10 GLs each for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, plus 5 GLs for a mid-morning and mid-afternoon snack – so you eat (or graze) regularly instead of gorging at one or two big meals. Here’s what a typical day’s food intake could look like:

DOES IT WORK?
“I retired from work in June 2009. I was very overweight and was taking medication for high blood pressure. I overslept a lot and had very little energy, often feeling depressed. I came across PatrickHolford.com and decided to buy The GL Bible and the Ten Secrets of Healthy People. I was very impressed with the information they contained, as it was well supported by reference to scientific and medical research. I started to follow the GL diet and was pleasantly surprised to see an increase in my weekly weight loss. The most surprising aspect of this diet was that I seldom felt hungry. My healthier lifestyle provided some unexpected benefits: my mood has improved greatly, and I wake early every morning, clear-headed and without the aid of an alarm clock. My blood pressure has returned to a normal level and I have been off the medications for the last four weeks. I have lost over 100 lbs in 7 months.-Eamon Weadwick
