I've been looking at GI and GL books lately online. GI is good, but GL is even better, it allows even more foods into the diet. Which is great because with even more of a variety to choose from, it feels even less like a diet than GI. Both GI and GL really don't feel like a diet at all. It feels more like making healthy choices instead. Carrots are ranked high in GI, up there with a cola. Who actually eats 1.5 lbs of carrots in a setting? But in GL you're allowed to eat carrots since most people don't eat more than one at a time. GL takes portion into consideration. GL is the newer and updated sister of GI.
GI is still great because it teaches you which foods are really good for you. Also there wouldn't be GL without GI, since GL uses GI in it's equation to get the GL number. I'll have to write an about section for GI and GL soon. Hopefully I'll have a little more time next week to do that.
Tonight I ordered two books. Patrick Holford's Low GL Diet Bible, and his The Low GL Diet Cookbook. It should be here in 5-7 days. I can't wait for them to get here so I can get more serious about GL way of eating.
