    Hi, I have a question about the glycemic index and load. I have
    purchased the book "Glycemic Revolution" and have read most of it, but
    I am confused about what to use -- the GI or GL.

    At first the GI seemed the easiest to use, but then I read about how
    even if a food has a high GI, if it has low carb count, then it has a
    small impact on our insulin levels.

    Therefore, to me, the GL seems to be the way to go. Now, am I supposed
    to choose low GL foods with moderate-to-high carbohydrate count (and a
    low GI), or a food that has low carbs and a low GL?
