There has been a lot of research lately into the Glucose Index of various foods, especially things involving carbs. My endocrinologist originally placed me on a strictly "under 50" on the scale, and had to bump me up a little a couple of months later (up to around 60 points) as I was losing weight too quickly. Believe me, I had been trying to do this for years without success. Basically, the book discusses foods of our modern diet, and explains why some carbs are more healthy than others for our consumption. If the carbs are released more slowly into our bloodstream, then we don't get the insulin jolt that we do when we eat, for example, a piece of white wheat bread (which acts on people with PCOS like sugar). It originally felt like a really limiting diet to live off of, but with some experimentation, I find I enjoy the freedom of not having to count everything. On the plus side, I have been able to go off my meds and have noticed that my rapidly thinning hair has stopped thinning. Of course, this may also be from the other supplements that I take (saw palmetto and chaste tree berry) which help balance the hormones (with much less side effects than the meds I was on - my life was pretty hellish then). Over all, I would recommend this as a good read to help understand just how our foods effect us. I would also highly recommend reading "Syndrome X" by Challem, Berkson and Smith. This goes into even greater detail of the index and how it works with our bodies, and it also brings in nutritional supplementation to help with insulin resistance for people with differing problems. If nothing else, check your local library for this one, as it is only out in hardcover at the moment.
