What are your thoughts on glycemic load and ketosis? For example, a cup of strawberries has the same GL as a cup of carrots. I tend to eat strawberries, in moderation, but have always avoided carrots. *anyways I am not a big carrot fan. ~SKArunner "However, if you try to use Glycemic Index tables to guide your choice of foods, you will see things that should bother an intelligent person. A carrot has almost the same glycemic index as sugar. That is ridiculous. You know that a carrot is a far wiser choice for dieters or diabetics than table sugar." "Carrots and potatoes both have a high glycemic index, but using the GL index, carrots dropped from high GI of 131 to a GL of 10. Potatoes fall from a GI of 121 to a GL of 45. Air-popped popcorn, with a glycemic index of 79, has a GL of 4. " Hmmm . . . Taken from: drmirkin/nutrition/9566.html
