Personal Development for Smart People Forums - View Single Post - Glycemic Load of Steve's raw food diet may be too high

I've been reading up on Glycemic Index and Load research lately.
AboutGI

It seems like more and more health problems are linked to eating too high GI & GL. Among them heart problems, diabetis and more.

I was quite shocked to see that Steve sometimes eats 11 banana's in the morning. That would be a GL of 110 for only the banana's. A food expert I trust recommends taking no more than 100 GL for all foods on one full day.

So not surprisingly Steve reports: "After all this sweet fruit in the morning, I started feeling nauseous around 11:30am." That makes sense to me.

I also sent a comment about this to Steve, it might be beneficial for him to watch his GL intake, I think.
