Does eating a Low GI diet help?

I take medicine, not the same but still plenty of it and my doc. told me to take probiotics. And, I have found that I do not crave sugar or starch anymore. Medicine can wreck havoc on our gut. There's even something called "leaky gut syndrome". There is a good site online that has good prices. www.iHerb.com.

I would recommend eating food that is rich in fiber - whole wheat English muffins, brown rice, whole wheat pasta, oatmeal, and so on - they are all good for you and will help you feel fuller longer. You might also do a quick internet search and check out lists of fruits and vegetables that show which are the highest in fiber, and incorporate them into your meals. I was surprised to learn that raspberries are at the top of the list, so I have been eating more of them. I also eat celery and carrot sticks every day - you can munch on them without worrying about calories and they will fill you up.

Yep, that's right...fiber is a big helper. I eat a handful of walnuts a day, takes the edge of in between meals.

Thanks for the advice. I eat a yogurt that has probiotics in it, and I love fruit, especially raspberries. Must learn to reach for those things first, instead of bread and crackers! Off I go to have some blueberries and vanilla yogurt......

I would eat small amounts of good carbs...whole wheat crackers...high fiber

Have you heard of the McDougall program? It is really good if you love the carbs. I am on it now and it really works xx
