Hello!


For awhile now, I've been following my own LC plan which combines the elements of Atkins and PP.

Lately however, I've been reading more and more about the glycemic index.

As a matter of practice, I try to eat foods low on the index....but here is my question......if all of my daily carb intake is in the form of low glycemic foods, then theoretically, I should be able to eat more carbs while still staying in ketosis - than if I ate my carbs in the form of high glycemic foods? or am I missing something here?

For example: there are certain foods that are very low on the glycemic index - like certain legumes and fruits - but traditionally forbidden on the more common LC plans........

theoretically speaking, shouldn't I be able to eat these and still remain in ketosis as long as my overall carb count for the day remains constant?

Maybe I am confused, but I thought that one maintains a state of ketosis by not tripping a rise in blood sugar - and low glycemic foods are supposed to accomplish this, no?

Thanks, Terry
