Did I tell you that I'm going to attempt to eat low GI in future? (Apart from the chocolate coin I've just had in Starbucks of course.) I may be repeating myself but I'll give you a summary. I dug out an old book from the labyrinth that is "the box room." The book is called; "Dr Nicholas Perricone's Programme." Anyway, Dr P talks a lot of sense, I'd love to follow the actual diet he prescribes, but I can't afford to live on salmon for most of the week, still, something he explains did actually make a lot of sense. I'm going to paraphrase as I'm not sure I can quote directly from the book without losing my shirt. Dr P basically says that you could be carrying 5000 extra calories on your thighs but you won't be able to burn it off because insulin, (sugar,) in your bloodstream keeps the 5000 locked away so it can't be used for fuel. By sticking to low GI foods, this locked in fat will gradually be used for fuel on your body as it won't have any ready sugar roaming around your bloodstream to use as a quick fix.
Isn't that genius? Doesn't it make sense? The penny really dropped for me so I want to test Dr P's theory to see if it works for me and my 5000 calorie laden thighs. Not sure when I'll start properly, it's the weekend and then I go away and always end up eating things I wouldn't normally eat, (like white bread,) so maybe when I get back.
I will test, and let you know.
