Healthy Eating
So, yes, I’ve had to find out what the Glycemic Index is
Wednesday, February 6th, 2008I’m feeling better than I have been in ages. The crazed, sugar withdrawal days are over and I am feeling better for eating healthily. Who knew?
The nausea has also gone, probably because the massive high blood sugar/low blood sugar swings have gone, cast out with the refined carbs. Who knew? Clearly not me.
In fact the whole family is eating better. We are converts to the GI diet which is good for weight loss but also for diabetics who want to control their blood sugar levels. The children have always eaten healthily, or at least what I considered to be healthily - home cooked, mostly organic, lots of fruit and veg - but looking carefully at what they were eating I can see that their blood sugar would have been swinging fairly wildly throughout the day. Combine that with the natural activity of a four year old boy and a six year boy and there is really no house big enough to contain them. Although I can’t convince the older boys to switch from white bread to granary, I have been able to replace simple carbs with complex carbs, in most cases without them even noticing.
Still, lest I sound too evangelical about our new eating habits I still cannot get a lentil past my lips.
