GI not working for me

Hi,

I've been on the GI diet for three weeks now, and have lost 2 pounds in total, which I think has more to do with me not eating any sweets than eating healithy, as I eat pretty much what I used to except without all the cakes, etc. I'm desperate to lose each week on a regular basis to keep me motivated - has anyone else had the same problem? I know there's not much between, low carb and GI, but from what I've read on this site, maybe I am eating too many carbs? I've been on a low carb diet before (not Atkins) and lost 7lbs my first week, and then 2-3 lbs thereafter. Perhaps I should switch, or perhaps it takes time for my body to adjust to a new way of eating? Any help that people could give me would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Re: GI not working for me

Hi Debs

It sounds to me that you may be one of those people whose level of carbohydrate tolerance is too low to lose weight on a low GI diet. I'm the same!

It is also true that losing weight gets more difficult on each successive diet. There are lots of other reasons why you might not be losing the weight, but my advice would be to try out a low carb diet first to see if that helps. You might also find it helpful to read 'Why Can't I Lose Weight - the Real Reasons Diets Fail and What to Do About It' - you can find this at www.dietplateau.com.

Best of luck

Jackie
