(For example, both carrots and chocolate contain similar high GI, fast-releasing sugars and therefore share the same GI score. However, carrots contain a fraction of the amount of available carbohydrates compared to chocolate. Hence, you would need to eat a lot more carrots to end up with the same effect on your blood sugar levels.) By knowing both the quantity of carbohydrates eaten and the GI of the food in question has it advantages,by positively affecting metabolic rate.I eat the same food every day,mostly,and my carbs are only 250 grams,so its just repeat for me.If my deit was very diverse I would inject this method of action........
i already know the difference between GI and GL, what i meant was, in choosing the foods that you eat everyday, do you put more weight in the GI or GL, personally i like mixing both concepts and trying to find foods that have low GIs as well as low GLs

though maybe i'm highjacking a bit and should write my own thread?
