Lots of other members are fans of graham crackers and skinny cow FF ice cream sandwiches, etc. But I finally came the the conclusion that my body simply does not tolerate high-glycemic foods well. Fortunately, I also find the POINTS system is an easy fit with a Low GI diet. In fact, WW recognizes that some people do better with a higher protein diet and POINTS are calculated using grams of fiber, calories, and grams of fat. Fiber is a GI reducer, along with protein and fat. I have ordered a couple of cookbooks from Amazon on whole grain cooking and baking, and I'm making the switch to Splenda, long grain brown rice, whole wheat pasta, etc. I'm also trying out higher protein grains like quinoa and amaranth. I'll let you know the WW/Low GI synergy works for me. It's certainly easier and probably healthier than going low-carb hard core. >Hi there. I am new to this board.
